Last year, there were a lot of people doing amazing things at Sundance. Movies were blowing people away, celebs were everywhere. It was an amazing time — that needed amazing food.

Enter Udi and their gluten-free menu!! Everyone LOVED what they had to offer, with delicious and healthy food for all.

Well guess what? They've back and bigger then ever with Udi’s Gluten Free Table, a full service pop-up restaurant! They served a menu of quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, flatbreads and more!

It looks like the fame preceded them, because the celebs were HUNGRY, including Julianne Moore, Mario Lopez, Mekhi Pfifer, and many more!

Check out the rest of the healthy pics, below!! YuM!

For those of us who love to enjoy sweets during the holidays but don’t want the guilt that comes with indulging, Elizabeth Minett, top model and author of the popular fashion and food blog, HAUT APPÉTIT, recommends this healthy AND delicious recipe for the season:

Dairy & Gluten Free Strawberry Pomegranate Mini Pavlovas

Pavlova
4 large egg whites at room temperature
1 cup castor sugar
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1.2 tblsp corn starch

Topping
1 can full fat coconut milk
2 Tblsp confectioner's sugar
sliced strawberries for topping
pomegranate seeds for topping

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 275F. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Using a standmixer or electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on high until they form soft peaks. A tablespoon at a time, slowly add in the sugar (if you add it all at once, the egg whites will not stay light and fluffy!) You will now have glossy stiff peaks, also known as, meringue!

3. Once you have stopped beating the egg whites, sprinkle the vinegar and corn starch over top and fold in gently with a metal spoon (this also prevents the egg whites from losing their stiffness).

4. Spoon 8 small mounds of the meringue onto the baking paper and smooth into small circles, leaving the centers slightly lower than the sides.

5. Bake for 30mins. Then turn off the oven, and allow the pavlovas to cool for another 45mins, with the oven door slightly ajar (this is a very important step!)

Whipped Coconut Cream

As a dairy replacement, I whip coconut cream to get a heavenly substitute. 

1 can full fat coconut milk, cooled in the fridge
2 Tblsp confectioner's sugar

Directions:

1. Turn the coconut milk can upside down, and open it around the bottom. There will be a milky liquid at the top, and pour this away. At the bottom of the can will be left the coconut cream - a thick white cream.

2. Spoon the coconut cream into a standmixer or bowl, and whisk on high until it becomes thick and creamy. One tablespoon at a time, add the confectioner's sugar to the cream. Whisk for another 2 mins.

Assembly

Spoon whipped coconut cream on top of the mini pavlovas and top with strawberries and pomegranate seeds.

Makes 8 Pavlovas.

NICE!

First thing's first — we should say that that there are reports that a gluten-free diet might not be as fab as everyone thinks… unless you truly have a gluten intolerance.

Having said that, Kim Kardashian's body is ROCKING here, whether or not it's due to a necessary gluten-free diet — which is exactly what she seems to be claiming of the photo!

This is actually an older pic of her from Instagram, but she shared it again on Friday with these words of wisdom along with it:

“Gluten free is the way to be…Oh Hi.”

A lot of celebs have been jumping on the gluten-free train, including Miley Cyrus, but she specifically said she has that pesky gluten allergy!

Like we said though: either way, you're lookin' fab, Kim!

Dang, gurl!!

Gluten free just got trendy!

The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing and in between screenings, celebs are trying to keep themselves busy by either hitting the slopes or the party scene.

A few, however, opted for a more relaxing treat and headed to the Fender Lounge and Miami Oasis Gifting Lounge on Sunday to taste a variety of gluten-free food from Udi.

Elizabeth Olson, Emily Blunt, Rashida Jones, Mario Lopez, and Lil Jon were just a few of the stars stopping by to take part in the gluten free movement.

On Sunday evening, the food company provided a gluten-free meal at the Creative Coalition’s Annual Spotlight Initiative Awards Gala Dinner where Kate Bosworth and AnnaLyne McCord were honored.

Good thing they picked Udi to provide the foot because the 90210 actress revealed that she's actually intolerant to gluten and can no longer eat wheat based food!

Check out pics from the event below!
