Hello Alison,
Wow! You are a brave friend to try to accommodate so many different dietary needs at once. At Milk Street, we are not equipped to offer dietary recommendations. But, based on dodging allergens, it sounds like roasted pork or chicken with roasted or steamed vegetables or a tossed salad (with some nuts for crunch or gluten free croutons) are nice options. We have a chicken salmoriglio recipe that is full of flavor and served on a bed of watercress or arugula. Just omit the garlic. We have a variety of pork tenderloin recipes, Pork tenderloins with fig-olive relish is a popular one. again, leave out the garlic. Again, we are not authorities on specific dietary needs. Read all labels for allergen contents. It's also a good idea to have printed recipes of everything you make on hand as well as the containers of the ingredients you use in case any of your friends need to check for allergens. Good luck!
