Brunch guest who can't have dairy or salt - snowed in!

Out of ideas! Also, looking for simple recipe for brunch requiring stuff I have on hand. Martha always has some confounded ingredient I never heard of. Lost my hash brown recipe. Have frozen hash browns, sour cream, cr. chicken soup, butter & chips, forgot how I put them all together last time. Locked in, more snow coming, zero degrees in NE, don't even know if people will make it here. I'm frustrated. Have a spiral ham on hand, thank goodness! Sounds like I'll be cooking but will they come in the stormy weather. Darned if I do, darned if I don't! The no dairy, no salt thing is driving me up the walls.
Oh well, have a happy holiday. Tip: Put furniture polish or cooking oil on your snow shovel and the snow won't stick.

Here are some dairy-free recipes. Then leave out the salt, of course

Are you the hostess or the guest for this Thanksgiving? If a guest, what

Yes, snowed all day today
I live in CO Springs and it has snowed all day today. We are supposed to get 2-3" today and more tomorrow. However, my daughter in PA tells me it is supposed to snow in the Poconos tonight, so you just can't win.
Christmas Brunch
I may be ahead of the game. We are celebrating early, this Saturday. Anyone who celebrates with family in the morning, what are you serving? I'm trying to streamline it this year so no one is stuck in the kitchen (me) while everyone else has fun family time.
I decided to make a breakfast cassarole, monkey bread (little one can help), a variety of juices. Then mid morning I will put out a veggie tray, cheese and crackers, little smokies, and brie en croute. I feel like I need something more for breakfast. I made fruit salad last year and no one ate it.
Christmas brunch
Sounds really good. We also do this for Christmas. Have done numerous things over the years. I think this year we are doing a casserole, biscuits and gravy, cinnamon roles and some fruit. The kids don't care what we have and will eat just about anything, but you are right, it keeps everyone out of the kitchen. Have a nice Christmas!!
Happy Mother's Day!! Brunch with MIL and mom:-)
Kids and DH are staying home and cleaning the house. Yay for me:-)
Dairy Queen
We have dairy queen here, the one with the waffle cone laying on the bed with whipped cream and another one where they have genetics testing, too many sexual overtones for me to want ice cream!

Cats and dairy
Cats as a species tend to be lactose intolerant, but just like any species (humans included) there are differences from one individual to another. Milk has more lactose or milk sugar in it and that is what tends to cause the bloating and diarrhea problems. Half and half does not have so much because the cream does not have it in the volumes that the milk does. I had one cat who, when she turned 14 or so, sat in front of the fridge and meowed at me until I gave her a little bit of cream. It was so bad that if I was out, I couldn't even go in to make coffee in the morning or else she would flip me the paw if she didn't get it.
I have an older cat now who is 18 and she tends to do the same thing, but straight cream gives her bad diarrhea. I put water in a bowl and then sort of color the water with the half and half and that tends to appease her. I have yet another cat that is allergic to anything dairy or beef related. Give her half and half, or cheese, or beef cat food and within 10 minutes she's yacking up everything that's in her stomach.
I love the little varmints. Don't know what I'd do without them. OP = I'm very glad for the solution to your problem. You saved a poor kitty from a bad life outside and solved your mouse problem at the same time. Yay!
I cut out about 90% of dairy products. sm
The smell isn't the problem really, I wish it was if you know what I mean! The air needs to go! The sitting makes me feel like I am going to explode like everything is "tight". I am short and have abotu 35 extra pounds and tend to gain it around the middle and I know that doesn't help.
re steroids in dairy products,
are these the growth hormones you are talking about? I guess the only way to avoid them is via farm your own or organic, yes?
sapphires, Dairy Queen or Burger King?

I'm a guest
We go to my parent's house every year. We usually just bring some cornbread or some type of dessert.
Guest...
And all the guests bring a covered dish, a dessert, and a drink. The hostess does the meat (turkey) and a veggie or 2, plus desserts...plus all the cleaning, planning, etc., which is why I'm glad it's not my year to hostess!
I agree about minimal dairy, but nothing wrong with grains IMO (unless you're a raw foods faddist
or have some sort of special dietary needs. Seeds and nuts are great, but keep in mind that they tend to be high in fat so shouldn't be used *too* heavily.
Until they become family they are a guest...
and should sleep in the guest room like anyone else! Totally agree :)
Cut the salt in whatever you eat during day and stretch

Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago. I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school. Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Not that big of a deal. Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
No, I mean she is the ONLY guest of honor and I am ignored (sm)
We have to celebrate how she wants, where she wants, etc. and she is lavished with attention while I am barely acknowledged as being a mother that day at all. Of course she still qualifies as a mother - but I am one too!
as in wrech me the salt
To me it should be pass me the salt. Am I wrong about this?
Have you given up salt? Seems excessive.

sea salt and diluted vinegar
It burns at first, but really dries up and heals your sinuses. You can use an eyedropper and tilt your head back if you don't have an actual nasal inhaler bottle.
Why do they need someone in charge of the guest book?
You leave it on the table by the placecards, and people sign it when they get their table assignments. I have never seen anyone in charge of a guest book before. Talk about micromanaging.
Your post, she is always the guest of honor?
even though you are still raising children does not make sense to me. Do you mean once a child grows up you don’t qualify for a mother anymore?
I can't cook, so take this with a "grain of salt," sm
and maybe someone already posted this, but the best meatloaf is made with stove top stuffing as the filler...
Good luck.
I think the sweetness just combines with the salt from the ham

can you separate the flavor from salt?
no, no more than you can separate the Christianity from the Christian. why should he have to HIDE his Bible in a drawer -- because the mere sight of it offends you non-believers? now THAT is silly. and calling the word of God propaganda is very offensive. Ah, but no so much to me as to HIM. and you will one day be before that 'big guy in the sky' and wishing you hadn't been so foolish.
Is it rude to ask a house guest
how long they will be staying. My MIL came Sunday to go to a doctor's appointment Monday. Well, the doctor appointment is over and it is already Wednesday and she is still here. She does tell us pretty much when she is coming but there is no end in sight. She is super sensitive and cries a lot with "you don't want me" so I don't know how to ask without any water works. I just want to know what to expect.
Thanks. I just ordered the salt and the baconaise
I think, if the Baconaise is good, DH will be happy. He can have BLTs again. That's his favorite sandwich.
Want to tell you about my Salt Lake visit
as you said your MIL there. I visited there and that was the best smelling city I think I have ever been in. I wrote email to the chamber of commerce there stating that. Have no idea where the sweet smell from but wonderful smell walking on the steets there.
The other day Racheal Ray had a guest with a good suggestion.
She soaked a cotton ball with vanilla extract, placed in a cute, little glass dish and set it in her fridge. Bet that would work for you!!!
The guest list is up to the bride & groom....sm
no one else! Of course if grandma wants to foot the bill for the wedding then I'm sure they'd consider her desires.
I once was assigned guest book duty.
Like you, I didn't know what that entailed. When I arrived at the reception, I was told to hold the thing as people walked up and signed it. Basically, I was a human podium. If that's what the bride wants you to do, tell her to leave it on the table! How rude of her to expect so much! Show up in the red dress and don't even sign the silly guest book!
This new guest book thing is dumb anyway
something else to add to the list of a gazilion ways to fawn all over the couple! Gag. Who really cares? Can you believe people are so full of themselves these days? It's truly mind boggling. And with the divorce rate being 50% or higher, why do they even bother?
I'd definitely be there in my red dress for sure, would maybe even stuff my bra so my cleavage popped out!
Anything to get out of the dumb guest book thing!
It's actually insulting, you too are supposed to be a guest :)
Let us know what happens!!!

I saw this on Martha Stewart....you pour salt into a paper bag
put the flower head first into the bag upside down, twist the top sorta so salt doesnt fall out and shake it around like shake-n-bake. it breaks up the dust and knocks it off..never have tried it myself though..but sounds like it might work..martha stewart style.
Utah or Salt Lake City, info please
My vacation is right around the corner, starting the 25th of this month. I would like to know what is this doing for the people coming into SLC, is there a problem with the fires there? I am still (hopefully) looking forward to visiting your state, my first time there. Any sites I should try to work in? Thanks.
What's the point of a guest book, anyway? They'll have the cards and

Totally agast, unwelcomed guest, how to handle
Last Christmas my husband's nephew was invited for Christmas breakfast and his friend came along. They were from out of town. They about ate us out of house and home and the friend after breakfast helped himself to the remote, changed channels and then spread across the couch and decided to go to sleep. These guys have no manners (older group here and they are hip-hop type guys). They later went to another family's home where they again were unmannerly. Get this, now the nephew calls (we had invited some other people) and he told husband he said he would be glad to give these people a ride! I know he probably is planning to have another dinner here (now not only his friend is in town but also wife and 4 kids). I would be so mortified to have all those folks show up, I probably would be very, very rude and it would be Christmas. My husband is not confrontational and did not say anything when his nephew said he offered to bring others and from another state. Ok, what would you do in this situation? Thanks!
Chicken broth and salt water gargling
but we mix in about the same amount of baking soda as salt in the hot water. It improves the taste and helps cut that feeling that acid is eating away your throat.
I have tried their bacon salt, which is good, but haven't tried baconnaise. nm
