uh, what? food help, diet restrictions

ILs are visiting next weekend. For various health reasons, both are on restricted diets. They'll bring FIL's food (he eats meat, veggies, yogurt, a few grains, and that's about it- crazy food sensitivities, water included).

MIL is going to bring her own meat (don't know why, as we have stores here and I'm capable of boiling or baking meat if she wants) but will otherwise plan to eat what we're eating. As long as it has no salt, sugar, yeast, or cheese (molds, probably mushrooms included).

Help! I tend to make one pot meals (lasagna, quinoa with veggies, etc) and use lots of cheese. What the heck can I make so I'm not cooking up frozen veggies and cornbread at the last minute for her?

    I had to make a breakfast for my inlaws and they are vegetarian so no meat, and also MIL is deathly allergic to milk products so I couldn't use things I normally do.

    I ended up making a fritatta/eggbake and used eggbeaters (added 1-2 real whole eggs in the entire thing), soy milk, and various veggies. It ended up tasting really good and they loved it.

    It is a real challenge cooking on such restrictive diets.

    Hopefully someone here can be more helpful.

    It depends on the grains, but I tend to fall back on this vegan risotto... I actually refer it to the cheesy ones. (You can add a bit less oil than it calls for in the end)

    Plus you can add whatever veggies are acceptable. 

    I'd get a bit more specifics on which grains are okay. Otherwise its impossible to plan.
