Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 My son was similar, and when away for a long time, we warmed his food, wrapped it in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil, and put it in a hot/cold lunch box. We only traveled with things that did not need to be refrigerated or kept cold without spoiling, like pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, etc. if we did end up at a restaurant, they were happy to micro what we brought. You can leave the foil wrapped lunch in the window on a sunny day to keep warm and from spoiling, or turn your car heater on and put it by a vent. The aluminum foil conducts the heat, and the plastic wrap keeps it safe from alum. contact. I never tried this with foods, but I did have a car-adapter bottle warmer when my kids were infants. This might help too. Good luck, Cheri**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 My son is extremely picky, and will only eat most foods warmed or fresh from the oven. We are getting invitations to activities where we will need to be away from home all day, so I need to pack lunches and snacks. This is very difficult if he will refuse to eat anything that isn't warm. He'll eat cookies at room temp., but that's about it. I make everything with as much bean flour (to increase the nutritional value) as the recipe will hold, but I don't want him eating cookies all day. Does anyone have any super-healthy snack recipes they can share? Thanks, Lis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 How about the Nut Butter Balls that someone posted a while back?? You could find the recipe in the archives, but when I made them, it was easy to throw things together and come out with good results. Start with a nut butter, peanut, almond, cashew, etc. (I used almond) and add powdered sugar and whatever you want to put in it, I used chocolate chips, but you could use chopped nuts, marshmallows, etc. You could sneak some calcium powder in here! Form into 1in. balls and roll in chopped nuts, coconut, sesame seeds, whatever. You'd have to keep them in a little cooler with an ice pack to keep their form, but it would be a very nutritious alternative to cookies. > My son is extremely picky, and will only eat most foods warmed or fresh from the oven.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Here is the link to a web site with a page on GFCF school lunch ideas: http://home.pacbell.net/cscomp/lunch.htm There are many, many links at this site to explore. Also, you may be able to make hot foods and simple put it in a hot/cold thermos. Hope you have a good trip. . > My son is extremely picky, and will only eat most foods warmed or fresh from the oven.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 This reminds me of the aluminum packaged meals that people would put under the hood of their cars when taking day long trips. Supposedly your food would cook from the engine heat, and be ready to eat by the time you get to your destination!
