If you come up with a idea, try using blue agave nectar for sweetening. It is low glycemic; will not raise her blood sugar as much as sugar or honey (avoid those).

Stay away from starches; breads, rice, pasta.

For the tea, if you are sweetening, again , agave syrup. nectar.

If you have pears or apples, you can poach them using fruit juice as the poaching liquid.

Hope this helps!

Lemon ice/ sorbet can be made with out an ice cream maker. There are some very simple and easy recipes, on line.

Try it our before hand!

Best of luck and may the realization that their son is happy be all they are concerned about! That and the great meal you will feed them

Food is love!
