Today I'm Frustrated Over Meal Planning.

Ash is allergic to tomatoes, soy, and milk products.  So, I'm currently pulling my hair out over trying to figure out how to feed this family cheaply and without using my favorite meal go-tos: tomato sauce, cheese and soy sauce.  **heavy sigh**  I also would like to keep the meat ingestion to a minimum.  Help?

Also, I'm including a link to a giveaway because then I get an extra entry.  And for those of you who have dairy issues in your family, you may like to enter the giveaway as well.  It's over at One Frugal Foodie.  The giveaway is for these two books: 

They had a giveaway last week for a cookbook that was soy-free AND dairy-free but I missed it.  But at least with one allergy taken out of the recipes I only have to be on the look out for the remaining two. 

People, did you even know how many pre-packaged foods contain soy????  EVERYTHING!  Or so it seems.  Just start reading labels - which I thought I did, but now that I know about Ash's allergy I'm seeing soy everywhere.  It's in crackers, cereal, granola bars, cereal bars, salad dressing, bread, cookies, soup, tuna fish, noodles, chocolate, etc, etc, etc!!!!!!  **exhausted** 
It's really tough stuff to get away from.

So yeah.  Help.  Please.
