As a personal Chef, I cook for kids daily and they have food allergies as well as vegetarian options per the request of their parents. I suggest gluten free pasta, with homemade tomato sauce. I use a dehydrator and make dried fruit skins and whole fruit pieces for snacks... Steamed organic cauliflower, made into a puree as "mash" served with Crispy tofu is excellent. Hope these suggestions help..
