Need Meal Ideas For Choir Camp

[ptkds]

My daughter and I are going on a retreat with her choir in a couple of weeks. I am only going to cook for her and make sure her food is safe. However, I was just informed yesterday that the choir director just found out she has Celiac, so now I will be cooking for the 3 of us. I need ideas! We need 2 breadkfasts, 3 lunches, 2 dinners. Plus desserts, treats, etc. I do not know yet what everyone else is having, and I am not sure what resources I will have available to me, so I may need to pack some cooking items . I was thinking of bringing a loaf of bread and maybe a coffee cake. But I need simple, delicious ideas for lunch and dinner. Help!!

Great treat: Rice krispie treats. Super easy and just use the crispy bronn rice cereal. Also excellent with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter added before mixing and I'm pretty sure the Kraft marshmallows are gluten free. They keep well in tupperware.

For a dinner, how about a nice baked ziti casserole and slalad made with gluten free penne,

You can also do a gluten free stew with the cornbread recipe I posted under recipes. I used to bring stew on ski trips for dinners in the condo. i would freeze it in a big ziploc bag and then just thaw, dump in a pot an warm Same for chili.

Another easy treat:

I just replace the graham cracker crumbs with crushed gluten free shortbread cookies or crushed Corn Chex

Cut into squares and layer in airtight container with wax paper between layers. You also can freeze these.

Kids love them but so do the staff in my office ;-) Good luck.

Emerils flourless peanut butter cookies.

My sister-in-law made these for me and you would not believe they do not have flour. Excellent!

Another easy "do-ahead" recipe good for camp or in my case "ski trip'"

Mexican enchilada casserole. I like to use the plain Goya black beans. Whats nice about this one is you can make up your own layers.

Cook ahead of time and freeze these dishes to take along on the trip. ALl you have to do is cook a little rice while there.

Red beans and sausage

Chili Beans

Bell pepper and eggplant casserole

White beans with Tasso

Lasagna

Cabbage Casserole

Casseroles need to be baked and other need to be heated up.

For dessert

Chex peanut butter treats

If you're going to be somewhere hot without air conditioning, I'd plan on a cold meal for either lunch or dinner each day. So, something like substantial salads with meats/beans/cheese/nuts as well as vegetables or sandwiches and light salads or fruit. There was a thread recently on cold meals for hot weather... check it out.
