Meal planning for DD houseshare - multiple allergies

[stinkingbishop]

DD(28) is in a houseshare with friends, and has asked me to help her with meal planning, to help save time, money, and stress. However, I'm as stumped as she is, so thought I could secretly ask advice here, and then pass it off as my own brilliance

The issue is, most of my go to's are no go's because a) one is vegetarian and gluten intolerant and b) the other has allergies (serious, epipen level) to chicken, salmon, tuna, lentils, shop-bought baked beans (something in the sauce), cashews and kiwis. DD eats anything and everything.

Ideas that would work for them all beyond soup, omelette, and various things on gluten-free toast?!

Thank you 😊

Sorry, had no idea couscous wasn’t GF! What a plonker! I have no idea what I thought it was made from tbh

Polenta? Instant polenta is really quick to make, you pour it out as a slab, let it cool, and slice and fry it or bake it with fried onions and cheese, with a tomato and mushroom sauce with it

I asked an a.I app I have and here is what it replied

It sounds really tricky to co-ordinate all those requirements
