Lunch on the Road
Dorothy had a big, overnight, school trip out of state recently, and one of the big challenges to her going was the food (of course!). She is on a strict GFCF diet, and is allergic to 40 other foods – making her ability to eat at the buffet or fast food non-existant. In order to allow her to go on the trip, we provoided all of her food for her. The lunch below is a great example of what we packed for her:
Everything was packed in small ziplock bags (we normally use Reynolds Cut-Rite Sandwich Bags as they are waxed paper and Dorothy is allergic to plastic – but for the sake of not spilling went with plastic bags for the trip).
Here you can see the contents:
We packed rice cakes (as our local store was out of GFCF bread…) with GFCF mayo in a squeeze, lunchmeat, and some lettuce for an instant sandwitch (that isn’t soggy), carrots, pumpkin seeds, a pear, and some chips. Not the paragon of nutrition, but way better than McRonad’s…..
Thanks for the tip about the waxed bags, now I’ll just to have to track them down locally.
Cheers
