A few suggestions:

When grilling on the BBQ sometimes the rest of my family will have steak but my husband puts on a boneless skinless chicken breast for me. They still eat hamburgers but a have a turkey burger. I would think you could buy them regular hot dogs but put a "safe" kind on the grill for you.

I also make extra food for me so when they want something I can't eat then I just take a container out of the freezer for me. I also make homemade pizza and I always make an extra one with soy cheese and chicken breast or other safe toppings. I let it cool down, slice it and put it in ziploc baggies. (I can put a slice or two on the pizza stone and it is done in about 10 minutes) This helps me a lot when they are eating Dominoes or something else that doesn't work for me.

I would say 75% of the time we all eat the same thing but I understand that they get sick of chicken breasts and I don't want them to feel punished. So I try to have a ready supply of "my food" so if they're needing/wanting something different, it's no big deal.

Good luck,
Leigh
