Who said you cannot have delicious desserts if you have food sensitivities such as gluten and dairy or if you follow the Paleo or AIP diet. Yes, we can overdo it with sweets, but I believe that desserts have a place in a healthy diet, because deprivation is not going to make you healthier. So enjoy these delicious gluten-free holiday desserts without suffering the consequences. All recipes are Paleo and many are AIP elimination phase compliant
