[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - interesting how split the responses are.  A few more details:  the place is VERY remote - 4 hour drive from major airport, and we are flying/driving.  So no hotels nearby, and no Whole Foods or Wegmans either - the GF substitutes will be the ones available at the Super Target 1.5 hours away.  [/quote]

So you have a plane ride, first, and then a 4 hour drive.   I still think you can cook some pasta at home, freeze it in a big ziplock bag, put in a soft sided insulated cooler, and bring it with you.   Make your children's favorite boxed mac and cheese, and freeze that as well.   It will thaw in the cooler for 8 hours, put it in the fridge when you get there.  With mac and cheese, spaghetti, and some aluminum foil you can feed your children food they are used to for a few meals (maybe when 2 year old is sleeping).

Kids can live 5 days without goldfish crackers.[/quote]

You can make mac and cheese in a microwave.  That is a bit extreme.  Other family should do that, not them.[/quote]

Can you?   I have always cooked it on the stove.   But yes, under normal circumstances of course you can just cook your own noodles there at the location.   But if you are trying to keep the kitchen entirely gluten free  and not get into   a hassle with in laws, just cook everything at home and heat it up super quickly in the microwave before they can even notice.  Do it while everyone's out taking a hike or something.   Bim bam boom, your kids are fed their mac and cheese and no one is even the wise.[/quote]
