I am taking dinner to a family tomorrow and I need some suggestions.

The mom is celiac (no wheat/gluten), is undergoing chemo, and has a newborn baby. Yes, it's a long and emotional story but. . .

I want to make some sort of comfort food. She is trying to keep her weight up, and I'm sure that eating at all is not particularly enjoyable for her. Yes, the dinner is for the rest of the family as well, but I really want to try to make something that She will enjoy.

Any suggestions??!!

TIA! :wave:
 
My nephew has celiac - I don't think you will be able to cook for her from your home. All your pots and pans, seasonings, stove, utensials are contaminated is wheat whether you realize it or not. I hope someone answers you as I do not know enough about celiac to be helpful
 
I don't have any suggestions, but I'll bump this for you. Good luck. It's very nice of you to want to help them. :wave2:

Have you tried a google search to get some ideas?
 

Thanks everyone for your help, and comments, and bumps!

I found some rice pasta and am going to make a nice casserole for them.
 
I thought I looked into that Outback Steakhouse has a gluten-free menu -- including desserts!!!

I'm pretty sure it was Outback restaurants.

My husband has celiac disease. But still we never went to Outback!

Let us know how you made out.

Please check your cookware - talk to the woman you are cooking for...its very important that you don't use contaminated cookware. My SIL is adamant about this.
