I wanted to add a ...Thanks for all your great tips. I wanted to add a couple tips I have found have worked for me. I host Thanksgiving every year and I love it. Just like you I don't ask anyone to bring anything because I love cooking and because I will know that all the food is GF. However some people insist on bringing something. So for those people I have them bring things I know will be safe, such as a veggie tray, salad, wine, apple cider. Things like that. It has worked out perfect. People feel like they are helping (which they are) but they are still keeping to my diet guidelines. Now that it has been 4 years that I have been GF, my family is starting to learn. So even when i go to someone elses house i always bring a couple dishes that I know I can eat and others will enjoy wether I am asked or not, since I am never sure what will be there that i can have. I have found that if you talk to your family ahead of time and make them aware of things they will usually try to be more flexable about the foods they serve or at least will be aware and be sure you know what is safe and what is not and warn you about it. I am sure it is harder with kids, but teaching your family about the problem and making them aware of things really helps. I have found that most people who don't have any food allergies just don't understand and some have no idea what gluten is and what its in with out us educating them on it. So just talk to your family and friends - it really helps! I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787725633797935731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32634845.post-81592662959347636902007-11-18T22:04:00.000-06:002007-11-18T22:04:00.000-06:00You've been tagged.
