[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - yes, both kitchens are GF because grandma is in charge of the main one and she has already GF'ed it.  PPs are right - you have to throw out butter, peanut butter, jelly, pretty much anything someone may have touched with a utensil that touched a gluten product.  Now that that is done she doesn't want to undo it. The guest cabin is just a kitchenette with no food in it, so it isn't that it is GF, but it isn't available to us because BIL and SIL are staying there.  I am going to try some of the GF products (bread, noodles, nuggets) on my kids this week in a blind test to see if we can slide by.  Otherwise I will have to ask for some kind of accommodation.

Also, to the PPS saying my kids are too picky - I'm not the same PP who has said 'my kids would starve' at every list that has been provided, but seriously, they don't eat most of the stuff recommended.  They eat yogurt, cheese, and tons of fruit, but aren't big on beans, meat (other than nuggets and hamburgers) or eggs. We can manage GF snacks no problem, but to keep them not seriously hungry for 5 days seems like a bigger challenge.  At our house they eat a perfectly healthy and balanced diet so I've never worried about their pickiness.  [/quote]

Just out of curiosity what do they eat for protein?  Other than the nuggets, you haven't mentioned anything with gluten.

I would look for subs that your kids like as much as possible, incorporate hamburgers into several meals, keep something they'll eat on the table every meal (e.g. Fruit salad) and then offer them a cheese sandwich in the room if they are still hungry. [/quote]
