Meal Planning-Help Please

[scsigrl]

I am going down in flame here. I am so stressed out and just at such a loss. I need help for a months worth of meals. I need easy. I am seriously in a depression over this crap cause I feel like I can't/am not feeding my family.

Meals need to be:

gluten
dairy
egg
all nut/peanut
soy
citrus
corn
fish
shell fish
banana
coconut

Easily catered to vegetarian too (DH).

TIA

(I don't need hugs or anything like that, as well intended as they may be, they just make it harder on me. Thanks)

bean burritos using Rice vegan cheese and homemade brown rice tortillas or buckwheat wraps?
beans and rice with salad
bean chili over quinoa or rice
quinoa salad (I've seen a few recipes in Nutrition)
buckwheat burgers
potato pancakes
pizza pasta (just pizza sauce, pizza "fixings" of choice, minus cheese- I use some nutritional yeast in it, rice pasta)
lentil soup

eta: I've never lived as or with a vegetarian, so I have no idea what meals even *might* look like.
I also like pasta salads, using a vinaigrette, but they need to be made the same day.
Meatballs
Falafel
Chickpea, black bean or lentil burgers
Possible a vegetarian no-meat loaf using buckwheat, quinoa and beans as a base?

Muffins
kjbrown's bread

A couple of expensive solutions, but met with some success in my family and might come in handy as a reserve, or as recipe ideas once you look into them:

Amy's makes pizzas with several types of restrictions in mind. One of their varieties might work. They also have veggie rice entrees. They *do* use soy, but my DS has a soy allergy and we've found options without.

My mother's got celiac and uses GF Pantry bread mixes; she does not have dairy or egg restrictions, but perhaps you could substitute.

Vegetable rice soup. And when I'm having a love-in-a-box kind of day, my 17-y.o. DS is thrilled with a Sunshine Burger and tater tots (though the ones he eats have wheat, but oven roast some potatoes and you're good to go).

Green salad on the side of everything. Then you could throw some grilled chicken on there if you want, and/or bacon and/or avocadoes. Keep everything separate in baggies in the fridge, cut up, so you can throw together a salad at a moment's notice.

Mix and match:
boiled green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, beets
boiled or baked sweet potatoes or white potatoes, or fried, and make extra when you're peeling for boiled, stick them in the fridge, and make home fries (fry in bacon grease if DH isn't having them, olive or canola oil if he is, stick some onions and peppers in there too if you want)
you can have things like vegetarian chili (peppers, onions, kidney beans, tomato paste, water, chili powder, sea salt) to go over the potatoes, or to have on rice
rice (we make rice pudding, steamed rice, rice noodles, rice cakes)
for the meat eaters of the family, pork chops, pork roast, roast chicken, hamburgers, turkey burgers, turkey or beef meatballs, meatloaf

rice cakes with jelly
buckwheat waffles or pancakes
sausage or bacon for those that can eat it
Crispy Rice Cereal, Puffed Millet Cereal

zucchini fritters are pretty easy and minimal ingredients (uses chickpea/besan flour)

vegetarian sushi with mushrooms and vegs;
make your own spaghetti sauce by blending whole tomatoes (skin and all) with spices, boiling it down and having that with rice pasta;
buy quinoa, millet and rice hot breakfast cereals;
oven roast mixed root vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper for a quick side dish;
roast a head of garlic and spread it on GF bread

Good luck!
