Bananas and/or crackers and/or rice cakes with peanut butter? I think EnerG brand crackers are great with peanut butter. You'd have to bring a small jar (or maybe small tupperware type of container) filled with the peanut butter and a plastic knife to assemble there. Are there any gluten free protein bars you like? Trail mix is filling and reasonably healthy. Planter's makes a good one with nuts, raisins and banana chips. Are there any prepackaged gluten free muffins you like?

Also, I like cans of baked beans unheated as long as they are at room temp but that certainly is not the best way to eat them. I also love chickpeas--Hanover brand makes a small single serving can with a pull top lid.

Sorry, I know none of these are exactly "gourmet" lunch ideas but I'm just trying to throw some good protein options your way. Hope you at least get some good dinners!

traveling and food

I'm going to be traveling for work in a couple of weeks and I need some ideas of what to take for food. I'm going to be at a tradeshow and they are paying for our lunch their since we can't leave for lunch...but the only options are different types of sandwiches. I'm not really worried about dinner because I'll either find something at a restaurant or be able to get heat something up in the hotel.

Any ideas for lunch though? It would have to be something that does not need to be refrigerated, does not need to be heated up or cooked in any way, and will stay good for up to 5 days. I'm really at a loss for this. All of my instant-type foods are the add water and microwave style.

What about those tuna packs with tuna, pickles, mayo and ... ugh...crackers? Easy enough to substitute GOOD crackers though. I eat those all the time. It's pretty filling too.

LUND??? I think it's time to go home... : ) Lunch to Go. And of further thought, I think they make smaller packages of plain tuna you could just eat plain tuna with rice crackers, and water...lots of water.

These do not have to be refrigerated:

http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=291

Bring rice crackers/cakes, Barbara's rice puffins, nuts, dried fruits

and vegetables, honey (does not need refrigeration upon opening),

peanut butter.

You should look at camping and gluten-free - sites like this:

ask them to get platters, not sandwiches. Then you can have things like

cold cuts, cole slaw, potatoe salad, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onion,

etc. They usually come with bread and condiments on the side so everyone

will be happy. The ingredients stay fresher that way- once you add the bread

to the meat, they start to age- so it can be a plus for the bread eaters

too.

How about a "pouch" of tuna, GF crackers, and apple and a GF cereal/proteirn bar. Would be great if you could score some individual sized packets of Kraft Mayo.

Thai Kitchen has a thai rice noodle bowl that you just add hot/

boiling water. (hopefully they'll have this for tea drinkers?) There

are also a few gluten free cups like mashed potatoes and split pea

soup that you can find in the health food instant food section in

grocery stores sometimes (or health foods). I personally think the

mashed potatoes taste vile, but it is a matter of preference. The

split pea soup is pretty good, especially if you add a little tamari

or pine nuts.

If you take cold, sealed, prepackaged and prepared rice (the kind

that doesn't need refrigeration and is available at some asian

markets, especially japanese ones), an avocado, and nori (dried

seaweed) sheets you could make an avocado sushi roll for yourself. Or

even fill it with that pre-packaged tuna stuff (even better if you

can add a little mayo). You can even add lettuce inside the roll if

you want. Kids eat this in Japan. Cut the roll with a plastic knife

right before you eat it for the freshest flavor, or assemble it right

there. (for really crispy nori). Or go crazy and make a kimchi roll

with some kind of packaged meat (or not). you could also make onigiri

instead of a roll- basically a triangle wrapped in nori, like a

little seaweed wrapped sandwich. Bring sesame seeds mixed with kosher

salt to mix with the rice, and GF soy sauce in a container, or the GF

panda kind that is individually sealed.

Prepared salads are becoming pretty decent, even from grocery stores,

so you could try to get one in the morning that would last for a

morning without refrigeration.

Bette Hagman has some good recipes for biscotti (biscotti and coffee

for lunch? better than nothing..), unusually tasty crackers/ toast

points (I really like her parmesan toast points, travelled through

Europe on those babies)...

She also has some totally wacky ideas about baking and sealing bread

in a jar to keep it fresh while traveling- if you have jamming/

preserving supplies, you could try it. I don't have sealers etc. so I

haven't tried it but it's pretty interesting in theory.

There's always junk food like bearitos cheese curls or mini kettle

chips etc. I love Trader Joe's rice crackers (not cakes, yick).

I like canned beets with nothing more on them than balsalmic vinegar

and a little pepper. (this may be totally weird but they come in nice

small cans, some of which are just pop and peel).

How about a boiled egg (available at grocery stores sometimes) and

tomato slices (tomatoes are better when they aren't refrigerated

anyway.)

I posted this message assuming that I wouldn't be able to eat anything at the show, but I ended up finding the phone number for the food manager so I called him figuring it couldn't hurt. He was amazing! I told him I had celiac and he knew right away what it was. He suggested that I eat a salad, but before I could even reply he said that I actually couldn't because they put the crutons on automatically. I couldn't believe he knew that! He told me that he's been dealing with people with celiac for years and that he would personally talk to the chefs and make sure that there was a lunch just for me. I hate celiac making me different...I avoid eating with new people specifically because I don't like explaining why I can't eat certain things so I'm really excited that he's willing to help me blend in a bit. Now I don't have to be the weird kid who brings her lunch to a catered work event. I need to track down his boss's email

address or something to let them know how much of a help he was. Anyway I just thought I'd pass that along...it was the best post-celiac phone conversation ever. kerri bren wrote: How about a "pouch" of tuna, GF crackers, and apple and a GF cereal/proteirn bar.
