Can yu tel her that she can't have more than a tiny portion of pasta , but
could try string beans(fresh or canned) or spaghetti squash in place of
the pasta. let her know that there really are no cjoices out side this ,
unless she will eatthe meat plain, with aoem vegetable , etc. She did
learn not to eat foods she is allergic. Now she has some now things she
has to learn she cannot't eat in large enough portions that she fills her
enough, so she has to keep trying too find what she can like and is able
to keep her from getting sick.

Can you find a couse at a Y or some such place that could help you learn
new ways of cooking fresh foods? It might be good for both of you. You
do not have to cook like your Mother. You are young enough to learn new
techniques. It is not a matter of recipes, but methods of cooking like
broiling, etc. You can easily not get everything greasy by broiling if
you take a shlalow metal or enamel over metal pan without a handle, cover
it with aluminum foile and put a grate on the pan and then use that to
broil the chicken or meat. With chicken, you firt start with it sking
side down, and only when close to done, but not all dried out, turn it
over and brown the skin side. You can put herbs, lemon juice, salt and
pepper, etc on the chicken before you broil it.
