Yesterday, Izzy was invited to her friend Maddie's house for a play date that extended past lunchtime. When I spoke with Maddie's mom, I told her not to worry about Izzy's lunch because I will send food with her. Her immediate response was "NO". I was shocked and worried; not knowing what this meant.
Maddie's mom explained that Maddie was very excited for Izzy to come over and that she wanted to make her a Gluten-Free lunch while she was at their home. I was so thrilled. Maddie wanted Izzy to feel "normal". So, Maddie's mom went to the store and bought up all the goodies that Izzy could eat that were gluten-free.
On Maddie's lunch menu were hot dogs, with a gluten-free Udi's bun, black bean chips, and chocolate chip ice-cream for dessert.
Maddie's mom warmed the hot dog bun in the microwave for a few seconds to make it soft. This was the first time Izzy actually ate the WHOLE bun!!!!
The delicious hot dog was accompanied by black-bean chips.
And for Dessert.... Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This play date demonstrates the importance of communicating what Celiac Disease is and what it means to eat Gluten-Free with family and friends.
Thank you Maddie, and Maddie's family, for making a fun Gluten-Free lunch!
Coming soon...... We have decided to create a website and app to help people manage their Gluten-Free life style.
