Meal Ideas for Child with Allergies to Wheat, Milk, Eggs, Nuts, Soy, and Peanuts

[frostfire]

The reason for the post is because of the allergies that only became confirmed 2 weeks ago and mom has also been struggling with finding alternatives that a young child will like and actually eat.
My daughter also has allergies to milk, nuts, soy and peanuts so I am very careful with cross contamination and knowing what swaps for those items.
I just felt over whelmed adding in all the allergies at once and trying to make sure it wasn't plain rice and veggies. When all the big allergies is thrown together all at once I'm sure everyone can understand the whole "now what" moment that follows.
Thank you all for all the suggestions, tips and substitutions I will be trying to find them in the stores tomorrow before they get here.
Original post:
Hi everyone, I've got a predicament. My God child is coming to visit this weekend and she has just been diagnosed with allergies to wheat, milk/dairy, and eggs. She is 7 and can not have any of these at all! I need help with meal ideas and recipes please. I have snack items and quick grab items she can have but it's meal times I am struggling with that don't use any of these items. I want something we can all eat and enjoy as well so she doesn't feel left out having her own special foods. Doesn't have to be cheap either just nutritional and good. Thank you all for your help!

Rice pasta, rice, veggies.
A nice beef stew would be good, use cornstarch to thicken it.
Please be careful with sauces, soy sauce has gluten.

@jaydenfrost yep! So many people don’t realize that about soy sauce. Tamari soy sauce is a gluten free variety that most stores will carry at least one brand of these days.

@youforgotus we have a friend that is gluten free and is amazing how many things have gluten in them

Chicken and Rice
Porcupine Meatballs (just skip the eggs)
Spaghetti with GF Pasta (we like Barilla brand)

Grilled chicken or baked. GF Mac and cheese box mix. Veg

@kaknelson can't have the dried cheese in Mac n cheese. We are looking into vegan but haven't found one that is liked yet

 

[kaknelson]

@frostfire they have an Annie's vegan cheesy rice

 

[frostfire]

@kaknelson we may have to just do a total switch to rice and vegan cheese when we find one that we like. Tha k you

 

[kaknelson]

@frostfire Annie has a box one for rice and cheese. Vegan. My sister had severe milk allergies.

Would gluten free spaghetti work? Or a meat like roast or chicken and veggies?

For dairy alternative I highly recommend Violife products. They have cheese, cream cheese.... for milk, any almond or coconut is good.
I'm allergic to milk enzymes, so I generally have to stay clear of anything with that in it.

Taco night!

Steak and Potatoes and Roasted Veggies
Roast
Chili and GF cornbread

I love spaghetti squash or chickpea pasta for alternatives to regular noodles.

 

[musician92]

Chili, hamburgers, taco no cheese, chicken nuggets, veggies

What about a stir fry? Rice, vegetable and whatever meat you like. You could also do a tray bake of chicken and taters carrots broccoli onions and peppers. Toss them all with olive oil and seasoning ms.

Fruits, veggies, and meats make good meals. Find out which of these she likes and use from that list. There are good meal choices from those categories. Gluten free pasta and a good spaghetti sauce, just leave off the cheese.
