Brick SEPTA Spaghetti Dinner - GFCF Success!

I'm part of the Brick Special Ed PTA (SEPTA). We recently had a Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser which was a great success. Since many of the kids are one special diets (gluten and casein free) - we decided to also offer GFCF options for the dinner. We served pasta, marinara sauce, meatballs, salad, chicken - and also had gluten free pasta and the gluten free chicken. For dessert we had a cake and brownies, and GFCF chocolate cupcakes (made by yours truly).

The event was a huge success. We estimated ahead of time how much food to have - and I think we could have had even more gluten free/casein free food available since it went very quickly! So many parents came up to us (Board members) and thanked us for serving gluten free items.

As a parent of a child with a special diet, I know it is tough to get out to dinner and enjoy without a lot of preparation and bringing your own food. So, this was a treat for those families and it was truly a joy to see friends and our extended SEPTA family coming together to enjoy a meal.
