I need gluten and lactose free recipes!

I’m looking for gluten and lactose-free recipes! I’m transitioning to a mostly plant-based diet (though I’m okay with some meat) because I’m tired of feeling nauseous after meals. The challenge is that most recipes I find are geared toward weight loss, and that’s not my goal at all—I’m already on the slimmer side and want to maintain a healthy weight.

I’d really appreciate any dish ideas or recipes you might have! Just a heads-up, I’m not a fan of mushrooms. I occasionally give them a try in case my taste buds change, but they never do, so I’d prefer recipes without them.

Thanks so much, Reddit!
