OT- Moving meal/snack ideas

[erbeaman]

Good friends of ours are moving next weekend. My DH is helping them move the big stuff, and I will be staying home with the kiddos. I would like to send some snacks/drinks with DH to help everyone make it through the day, but I am stumped for ideas. Their one son is gluten free so it complicates things a little. I would also like to send stuff that could double as a simple meal because I know how hard it can be to find time to eat during a move.

One of the easiest things to make is cereal treats. You can use any gluten free cereal. There is a gluten free version of Rice Krispies, or fruity and cocoa pebbles are also gluten free.

You also need to make sure you are using gluten free marshmallows. Most brands are even if they don't say so. The only brand I found that actually say gluten free are CVS Gold Emblem brand, but they are really difficult to work with (too sticky!) Kraft Jet Puffed are gluten free even though their package does not say so. Unfortunately, some products (e.g. marshmallows) cannot be labled as gluten free because of potential cross-contamination issues.
