Nini, that's a lot of allergies. Still it seems there are plenty of foods left. You listed banana, lima & pinto beans, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, cherimoya,carrots, celery, persimmon, pineapple, coconut, lemon, lettuce, melons, orange, onion, peach, pear, peas, summer squash, and potato. And of course soy and gluten. You are really left with whole foods, which are healthiest anyway.

Here are some ideas: Mango and papaya "pudding" - just put it in a food processor or blender until pureed, then chill and eat. You can also pour a bowl of berries and put this over it (thinned) as a type of cereal. I do this with banana milk and blueberries all the time.

Quinoa or millet as a staple grain. Amaranth too. You could make breakfast porridge in the crockpot with a quarter cup each and 2 cups water. It will be bland but then you can add maple syrup, jam, etc.

Sweet potatoes. Cut as fries. Or baked and mashed with almond butter and topped with raisins.

Kale or other greens. Although you listed both lettuce and broccoli and allergens, so I don't know if you can do other greens.

I don't see tomatoes on your list, which surprises me because they are pretty allergenic. You could make lasagne with rice noodles, spinach and mushroom filling and use cashew "cheese" for the ricotta. Look on raw websites for a cashew or macademia nut cheese recipe.

You are a challenge. Love a challenge. How old are your kids? Likes and dislikes?
