Bad Manners and Brimstone

No advice on the recipes but for carbs/dippers, I'd look into gluten free crackers.  There are many of them that are really tasty and not noticeably gluten free, unlike many of the breads.  I get a couple of different varieties at Costco.

Consider getting a bread machine, maybe even from the thrift store.  A coworker makes gluten free bread in the machine - small loaves frequently because the bread isn't bad right fresh but after a while, it's not great and it's better to toast it at that point.
