<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I got all kinds of wonderful ideas.. now the fun is to get my picky eater to touch any of these things.. :) alana There are some soups that are GF. Canned chicken, bouillon and canned vegetables will make a "homemade" soup. Don't forget canned fruit and puddings. If you freeze hard cheese until needed, it will stay good out of the freezer for over a week. Some of the boxed scalloped potatoes are GF but they require a lot of water to make. Double seal some GF crackers in plastic so they stay fresh. How about adding dried fruits? Raisins, apricots, dates, figs, banana chips, peanuts, peanut butter, popcorn, Kool-aid, tapioca pudding, jello, dried milk. What about snak-pak type things-- indivudually packaged fruits, puddings, etc. Rice cakes would be good Bush's Original Baked Beans Rice crackers & peanut butter, canned fruits & veggies, boxed soy or rice beverage, & WATER, WATER, WATER veggie soup, pates like pate de campagne, stews, baked beans, peanut butter, jelly, canned individual fruits, tuna Ener-G foods (www.ener-g.com) has lots of packaged stuff with a ONE YEAR shelf life, like scones, granola bars, individual packets of bread with two slices per pack Hormel's premium chunk breast of chicken would be a good meat to have on hand . I highly recommend the Nature's Path EnvironKidz Gorilla Munch and Amazon Flakes. Nature's Path Honey'd Corn Flakes How about Imagine Puddings AlpineAire makes some GF products. These are wonderful because they come in a foil lined package with a string on them. Somehow when you pull the string the meal is heated. www.alpineairefoods.com cold cereal, Hormel chili with beans apple juice Bev sent me a wonderful document for disaster prepardness which I will post following this one Thanks everyone!! alana
