March Madness is almost upon us. Pretty soon, all that anyone will be talking about will be their brackets, betting pools, and viewing parties. But you know what I’ll be talking about? I’ll be talking about (and figuring out) easy snack recipes and gluten free appetizers. I mean, you can’t have March Madness viewing parties without finger food, right? What would be the point of that?

This year, I’m planning on treating March Madness like a drawn out Super Bowl party. I’m going to try a bunch of different gluten free snacks and appetizers just because I can. Snacking is a good way to pass the time if the game that’s currently playing is super boring or if you’re nervous about a certain team moving on. Stuffing your face is a great way to either pass the time or calm down. I’m assuming that, this year, I’ll be wanting to do both.

March 15th is “Selection Sunday,” meaning that you need to have your easy snack recipes and assorted appetizers figured out and ready to go because if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past few years it’s that March Madness moves pretty fast and so does your food (even if it’s gluten-free).

Below is my snack and appetizer roster for March Madness. Though these foods may be gluten-free, they taste great. Friends with conventional eating habits and no dietary restrictions will never notice that these foods (including the chips and dips) are gluten-free. I promise.
