Meal planning is always tricky in our house. DH doesn't eat meat but eats fish. DD1 is a fussy 4 year old who can’t eat dairy. Then I’m bf a toddler with allergies so we can’t have dairy, soya, coconut and the toddler can’t have eggs but seems OK a with a little cake. Please share your easy ideas. I’m going crazy generally with meal planning and I want to eat something nice over Christmas.

This is what I’ve planned so far for us. We’re vegan so it’s fairly similar to your family’s collective dietary needs.
Christmas Eve breakfast - Asda’s reindeer crumpets
Christmas Eve Lunch - spiced butternut soup with star shaped croutons (made with a small biscuit cutter)
Christmas Eve dinner - mushroom and parsnip rosti pie www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/mushroom_and_parsnip_91300 and warm mince pies (Free From) with whipped cream (Elmlea plant double cream isn’t soya or coconut based)

Christmas breakfast - La Boulangere vegan croissant. I like mine served warm with caramel sauce, dark chocolate chips and raspberries. I’ve made this sauce realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegan-salted-caramel.html but Sweet Freedom caramel syrup would work too.

Christmas dinner - nut roast realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegan-nut-roast.html with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and sprouts.
Dessert - Christmas pudding realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegan-christmas-pudding.html and Just Love Food chocolate orange Christmas cake (with sparklers in the top!)
Evening snack meal - ???

Boxing Day breakfast - Black Forest Bircher made with dairy alternatives www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/black-forest-bircher
Boxing Day lunch - Asda vegan cauliflower cheese wellington
Boxing Day dinner - ???

Meals in between Christmas and New Year:
Vegan truffle mac and cheese www.momafoods.co.uk/moma-vegan-mac-cheese-recipe/
Shepherds pie realfood.tesco.com/recipes/vegan-shepherds-pie.html
Sticky toffee pear pudding - www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/sticky-toffee-pear-pudding

New Year’s Eve - Asda vegan dark choc and salted caramel tart

@Fivemoreminutes1 Thank you so much. I know a few of them have coconut and or soya but the suggestions are amazing and I will take a closer look and steal some ideas.
