You can tell by my lack of blogging that November is as crazy as I thought it would be. The good news is we survived the last week!
This week we have the twins actually 1st birthday, we leave for Mexico and my birthday. I’m trying a couple new recipes this week that I found on Pinterest. I’ll try and let you know how they go if I can keep my head above water.
Monday – Taco Pasta Bake – use GF noodles and GF taco mix
Tuesday – Sausage and peppers with GF pasta
Wednesday – Chicken, Bacon, Tater Tot slow cooker. That just sounds awesome!
Thursday – Left overs to clean out the fridge
Friday – Monday -MEXICO!
We are staying at an all inclusive place and I’ve been told they can accommodate a Gluten Free guest.
Some advice I have received is:
- Avoid the buffet – cross contamination nightmare
- Avoid mixed frozen drinks
- Stick to the basics – meat and veggies
- Bring snacks
I’m armed with Gluten Free protein bars, GoPicnic boxes, peanut butter and crackers. I will survive! Any other suggestions for the trip?
Good luck getting through the week, and I hope you have a fabulous fiesta in Mexico!! Sounds like you are good and prepared š
Thanks! I hope you are getting settling in at the beach and enjoying the job! Thanks for the advice on Mexico.
hi i just got back from a sandals vaca in jamaica. my resort was great. just a few tips that might help you. bring snacks ! for me that was hard because my place had snacks at all times and i just really really wanted to eat while others ate. so the only time i felt not so great was when i sort of went for something that “should” have been ok but maybe was contaminated or had an odd ingredient. like ice cream but it was so hot and the ice cream looked soooo good…u know how it is !
the other thing the hotel did for me was that for dinner (and sometimes lunch) they had me meet one of the chefs at one of the restaurants at a designated time and he cooked for me specifically. i gave him freedom to make whatever and i had some of the best meals i’ve ever had ! it was nice that i didn’t have to worry and could relax and not worry about a menu and a waiter not understanding my situation. so…if they will do this for you i would recommend it. also bring some money to tip if they do this. i only brought so much cash since it was all inclusive and they dont allow tipping for drinks etc. but i wanted to tip my chef at the end of the week. i only had $100 in cash to give him and i wish i would have had more because he really deserved it. just my 2 cents : ) enjoy
