Thanks so much for all the helpful ideas. I think I'm going to follow
the advice about keeping things separate and make vegetable, egg and
cheese casserole or frittata and have bacon or sausage on the side and
maybe a selection of bagels, pastries, etc. Also a fruit salad. That
way everybody will be able to eat something. I can do a good bit of
that ahead of time.

I appreciate all your input! I think I was just complicating things
in my mind, trying to think of one main dish that would accommodate
all the different diets! Thanks for helping me simplify.
