Finally back after a week off visiting my parents.  We tried something new this time -- eating dinner in the hotel room rather than trying to find something safe for DS to eat.  It worked pretty well.  The first night going up there we had Kofta and Hummus with Baby Carrots & Bell Peppers and some fruit.  Then on the way back, we had Ham (raided from my parents) w/ Chreesy Mashed Potatos (instant), canned Dill Green Beans, and fruit cocktail.
