National Grain-Free Day on Feb. 21 inspires families and friends to gather and enjoy each others’ company over grain-free meals, devoting an entire day to loved ones who cope with dietary limitations.
Not only does the day create a way to recognize the difficulties of a restricted diet, but it also celebrates the family and brings everyone back into the kitchen for a meal designed just for them.
According to the National Day Calendar, often someone who cannot have wheat, corn, or rice due to an allergy or another autoimmune disease finds themselves eating celery sticks at the latest family gathering or office party. But what they miss are the traditional family meals and feeling included. The celebration sets out to create an entire day full of meals entirely grain-free.
Friends and family join in the festive atmosphere and enjoy the delicious aromas of the recipes the menu has to offer. Create a memorable spread and don’t leave out the dessert.
