We have a plan for the cake and snacky stuff is easy to buy-popcorn, chips etc. Fruit, no problem but need ideas for main dishes/sides. Taquitos can be purchased, I suppose I could make chicken fingers easily enough and waffle fries. Any other ideas?

what's the age group?

Good question! 8-11 year old boys. Don't know yet if we'll have/invite some parents or not.

Well . . . my 9 year old son's favourite food right now is mini corn dogs. I've got a recipe if interested. I make a batch and freeze - so you could make them ahead of time.

. . . and I want to add that the homemade ones have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the store bought (not-necessarily gluten free even though it was labeled that way) Wellshire Farms ones and one other hideous brand that we tried that was so bad we've blocked it from our memories. :lol:

I always ask my kids what they want and make that--dd is usually homemade mac&cheese or lasagna

You could do:

a spaghetti feed

or pasta bar-make a bunch of noodles and 2-4 easy sauces

lasagna/garlic bread/salad

burgers (or sliders on rolls-would be easy and fun) and fries

baked potato bar

taco bar

pulled pork done in crockpot w/ gluten-free buns

big pot of hearty soup/chili and cornbread

pizza party-make individual sized crusts ahead of time, let them top their own

paella

hope this gives you a few ideas!

Hi.

My 10 year old daughter just had her friends over. We served personal pizzas. We used Kinnikinnick pre-made crusts & Contadina pizza sauce. My dd had Columbus pepperoni & mushroom on hers and loved it--no cheese. My son likes his with Vegan Gourmet soy mozzarella cheese. And her friends used regular mozzarella cheese & pepperoni. And, I made mine all veggie--no cheese. So, everyone was happy. The kids gobbled it all up. You can't tell it's a Gluten-free Casein-free crust.

Good luck!

Cheers!

I make the pizzas with corn tortillas as a base. Toast them until they're firm in a toaster first or they will be too soft.

My mom makes "Thingees". She takes an extra long toothpick, coctail style, and threads a chunk of pineapple, piece of meat, cheese and an olive. Use your favorite kinds, we've tried them all; summer sausage, chicken, turkey, colby, cheddar, pepper jack, black or green olives. They are all good and surprisingly filling. Present a plate of these at my house and they just disappear!!

I agree with the "Thingees", we called them barbells. Just load up a meat and cheese and fruit tray and set out the tooth picks. Smokies if they are gluten-free, I haven't checked, with cheese chunks and pineapple...yum!

A crockpot of beanie wienies or shredded BBQ chicken for gluten-free buns.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
