Healthy dinner idea's for people who have a ton of food allergies

Wow, that's a restrictive list!

Hit up www.supercook.com - they let you type in whatever ingredients you can eat, and will list suggestions of ingredients as well. As you fill out what foods you have available/can eat, it'll list out recipes.

Low fat cottage cheese, greek yogart, apples, instant oatmeal, roasted veggies, weight watchers chese sticks, tossed salads, wendys chili, plain baked sweet potato

Quinoa is good. Guess its Rice, veggies, and beef for you. Which is still quite good. Experiment with spices for a variety of flavors.

Just build your meals from the foods you can have. You still have tons of choices for proteins, veggies, and starches. Use oils other than sunflower seed oil (and, I would suspect from your list, probably avoiding seed- and nut-derived oils altogether -- maybe best to go with olive oil and butter?).

Proteins: beef, pork, lamb (as steaks, roasts, chops, and burgers, and in stews, soups, stir-fries, casseroles, pasta sauces); dairy (skim milk, cottage cheese, greek yogurt are among the most concentrated sources of dairy protein, so have a glass of milk, have a side of cottage cheese {I also like it as a convenient substitute for ricotta in some tomato-based dishes} use dairy-based sauces, use greek yogurt as a topping for spicy foods or baked potatoes); seitan (it's a meat substitute made from gluten, the protein in wheat).

Veggies: squash (winter and summer); eggplant; sweet potatoes; white potatoes; carrots; asparagus; onions; kale ... The list goes on and on. The only restriction I see on veggies for you is beans (including green beans). Eat them raw, roasted, steamed, stir-fried, grilled, in soups, over pasta, in stews, in casseroles, in salads.

Starches: Here again you don't seem to have any restrictions here, other than possibly avoiding egg-based noodles (I don't know if that falls under the "cake" exception or not) and not adding things from your list of restrictions. So rice, potatoes, pasta, bulgur (cracked wheat -- cooks up as quickly as white rice, and to me it has a lovely "fatty" taste/texture without adding butter or oil), quinoa, etc.

If you're worried about boredom, experiment with herbs and spices, and with recipes from ethnic cuisines you don't already incorporate into your diet.

Also, if you're worried about boredom, don't reject new ingredients (like quinoa) out of hand because you've "heard it's not good." Try it. Try it more than once. The first time I tried quinoa plain as a side dish I didn't like it, but I've found I like it in soups and as part of a salad (think pasta salad or tabouleh).
