During the holidays, it can be hard to find recipes that satisfy everyone around the table when your uncle is a vegetarian, your cousin and sister are gluten-free, a few people don't eat dairy, and yet others are just plain picky. Let us take a bit of the stress of your shoulders this season with these 10 naturally gluten-free (or easy to make gluten-free) recipes so you can check that box and move on with the menu.

From stuffing (yes, gluten-free stuffing!) to corn soufflé (aka corn pudding), we've got you covered with some of the classics and a few surprises, too. Don't forget to read the helpful tips and tricks to keeping things delicious and gluten-free from our editors, readers, and contributors.

1. Sausage, Sage, and Cornbread Stuffing

Cornbread Stuffing
Elizabeth Stark

"To make cornbread stuffing, you'll first need to make cornbread. I used Elise's classic Southern cornbread recipe from here on Simply Recipes. Her cornbread recipe has a gluten-free version and a version that uses some flour. Both cornbread recipes work fine in this recipe." —Elizabeth Stark, Simply Recipes Contributor

2. Gluten-free Dinner Rolls

"For the leavening in these rolls, I use baking powder rather than yeast. It gives the dough an instant rise, so you can have hot, fresh dinner rolls in less than 30 minutes." —Coco Morante, Simply Recipes Contributor

3. Green Bean Casserole from Scratch

"To make this recipe gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch in place of all-purpose flour. If using cornstarch, reduce the amount to 1 1/2 tablespoons. Purchase gluten-free French-fried onions or use gluten-free panko and gluten-free flour to make the onions." —Megan Keno, Simply Recipes Contributor

4. Cauliflower 'Couscous'

"Making cauliflower couscous couldn't be easier. You just grind up fresh cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble couscous. Steam the cauliflower in just enough water to coat the bottom of a pan. Then use as you would any real couscous." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder

5. Corn Soufflé

"For a gluten-free and even more corn forward soufflé, swap the all-purpose flour for cornmeal." —Stephanie A. Ganz, Simply Recipes Contributor

6. The Best Candied Yams

"True yams aren't usually found in grocery stores and they're very starchy and white inside—they won't work in this recipe." —Simply Recipes Editors

7. Roasted Root Vegetable Panzanella

"Make this panzanella gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free bread in lieu of the regular sourdough or country-style bread called for." —Sheela Prakash, Simply Recipes Contributor

8. Too-Much-Garlic Mashed Potatoes

"If you’re a garlic fanatic, I encourage you to stick to the recipe. I served these mashed potatoes to my neighbors and everyone loved them, so you’ll find them surprisingly crowd-pleasing. However, it’s easy to adjust the garlicky-ness. You can leave out any of the garlic preparations and still make tasty mashed potatoes." —Laurel Randolph, Simply Recipes Senior Editor

9. Creamy Southern Lima Beans

"Buy dried beans at a store with a good turnover. Old beans can cook unevenly or stay tough, even after hours of cooking." —Sharee Hill, Simply Recipes Contributor

10. Cranberry Walnut Baked Brie

"For convenience, you can use jarred or canned cranberry sauce. Mix it thoroughly to loosen so it doesn’t look like a glop out of a container." —Jessica Gavin, Simply Recipes Contributor
