I ususlly get them to bring their own bread, so they do not have to worry about feeling ill if I get the wrong stuff and you can't go wrong with a meat, potatoes and veg meal or rice.  For sauces stick to homemade (so you know what's in it) and tomato based is easy.  Chilli and rice for example or chops with roasted pots and veg with a tom sauce. good luck    Report

Just a shame as I have set dishes that I make well which I do for visitors but all of them include things she cant eat, mainly creamy, cheesy, yummy dishes. Saves piling on the calories tho I suppose lol.    Report
