This would indeed be hard for me but if I think about what my husband would do who is not McDougall but does not have any eating problem either......he just would say no thank you and leave it at that. Like I said, this would be very hard for me.
Really, except for those couple of things, you did really well so I would give you a B+ for the day !

It was catered and we ordered vegan food for us (hubby and I) and a chicken dish for everyone else AND two non-vegan cakes because our usual vegan bakery was closed. It felt wrong. We were hosting in another city so preparing the food wasn't an option. But we could have figured out something different. What a mixed message we gave. And now they might wonder why there is no meat when we host future dinners. Why the exception this time (they are thinking)? This is always a tough one for me but I think consistency is key.
