Next month my husband and I are going to Shipshewana for a few days with my BFF and her husband. I'm really looking forward to it, but I have an auto-immune disease and some other health issues that require my diet to be pretty restricted.
I can't eat sugar, gluten, dairy or yeast, plus I have to watch my carbs, which means that most of those wonderful Amish goodies are off limits for me. I've called our hotel and they have a free hot continental breakfast, so I made sure that I can get my usual bacon and eggs or sausage for breakfast. Plus, all of the rooms have a microwave and mini-fridge, so I can take some things to eat in the room.
But I certainly want to be able to eat in some of the restaurants too. So, I'd like recommendations of restaurants where I could get some meals that I can eat. I can do roast chicken or other meats with no breading or gravy, vegetables with butter, salads without croutons (though I can pick those off), and not a lot else. No biscuits, mashed potatoes and gravy, or breaded, fried chicken. And no desserts!
Do any of them serve family style? Or are any of them willing to make substitutions?
I'm looking forward to going to Yoder's store to check out the fabric, and my BFF and I are looking forward to the flea market (the hotel's right across the street ), but I'd welcome recommendations for other places to see there too.
HELP please, and thank you very much!
