Allergies or Restrictions

CarolAnwen is gluten free, eats limited dairy, and no high fructose corn syrup. (She likes mozzarella & cheddar and is fine with occasional ice-cream.) But otherwise we don't keep too much lactose in the house. Merrick & Peter have no issues with gluten, so CarolAnwen can eat (or pick) around food that has wheat. (She is not celiac or allergic to wheat.) She can have regular sugar, but not high fructose corn syrup.

Drop-Off Time

Special Instructions

Please make enough for four and we can eat leftovers. My diet is pretty limited and I can't tolerate spicy food. (As treatment progresses I will be moving over to liquid food by a stomach tube.) My concern is coverage for my husband and children so I don't have to cook. Thank you so very much!

Favorite Meals or Restaurants

Dinner: (Nothing too spicy) Please, please feel free to make something YOUR family really enjoys. This will help for the sake of variety! Below is just ideas to get a sense of how we eat. Fish, seafood, grilled chicken, tofu, rice, peas, spinach, green beans, broccoli, corn, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes. Kids love fish sticks, battered fish, cheese pizza (gluten free/CarolAnwen) mac/cheese (Trader Joe's gluten free). Merrick likes banana bread and Chinese or Japanese dumplings. They are really into Ramen and noodles. Tacos are great (Merrick: flour tortillas/CarolAnwen: corn tortillas). CarolAnwen loves chickpeas and beans. Kids like lentils (dal makhani) and butter chicken. Our family eats a lot of eggs and like quiche. Kids really enjoy berries, especially CarolAnwen: strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, along with apples, bananas and peaches. Both kids like soup (chicken noodle, broccoli cheese, etc.). Some of the hits for the kids have been the stir fry noodles and vegetables, they LOVE the crustless quiches, and chili has been great, too. Any mildly spiced Indian food, ramens, California rolls, Japanese foods, etc. are good. Their favorite restaurants are Panera and Silver Diner and sushi.

Least Favorite Meals

Peppers, lima beans, okra. Kids are sometime suspicious of green things mixed in dishes but seem fine eating a singular vegetable. We don't eat red meat or pork very much at the house, although kids like bacon a lot. Kids will eat hamburger meat, fish and chicken. We eat mostly plant based and gluten free.

Special Instructions

Meal Instructions

If meals could be brought before or by 5:30 pm that would be great. PLEASE leave the food by the front door and text to let us know it's there. Elin would love to see you, but she is too sick for visitors right now. We need her to rest. Peter cell: 617.510.8069, Elin cell: 202.309.5467 The kids eat early and go to bed by 7pm. We can refrigerate and reheat. Please leave a note (with the food) if you want us to clean the containers and put them in a bag by the door for pickup.
