Sounds to me like it's time for you to cook the ingredients separately.
Then the family can assemble the parts they can/will eat without any of
the parts they can't/won't eat. Having several issues you may do well
cooking nearly all of your meals modular like that. Think of it as a
mini-buffet style - Take not the dishes you'll eat but the ingredients
you'll eat.

Without the red sauce they are rather like fajitas.

Exactly. With the red sauce serve them like red sauce with meatballs.

My can't is the bread - I am wheat intolerant and I am not willing to
deal with the symptoms from the bread. I've had sauage over rice and
it's fine. It's even better over root veggies.

My won't is the bell peppers - They have something in them I find
disgusting. On my own I use hot peppers but my wife's tolerance for hot
is extremely low. When we'll both be eating our meals we have switched
to other types of non-hot peppers. Cubanelles, a breed called Italian
sweets. Neither of us detect the type of hot in paprika peppers so we
get those when they are available in stores.
