I have celiac disease also - and sometimes I get bored with the same old stuff too.
Some things I could maybe advise -
You will want to include a lot of vegetables and whole grains to help with your child's diet, as well as lean meats and fish.
Start experimenting with gluten free flour - most are made from rice, soybeans, corn, and a variety of nut flours. I (rarely) make fried chicken, but I use corn meal mixed with a bit of flour and some spices. It's great. :) Learn to love your grill when it's warm enough - skewers of veggies (zucchini, mushrooms, summer squash, tomatoes, onions, broccoli, eggplant, ect...) and chicken or fish/shrimp/scallops, brushed lightly with homemade italian dressing (oil and vinegar dressed up with a few spices) make a great dinner - just add some brown rice and you're ready to go.
Salads can be wonderful also. I love making taco salads - cooked lean ground beef or chicken served over lettuce, onions, tomatoes and cheese, with a side of corn chips.
Soups and stews are also a good way to go. I love chili- and to thicken up a cream soup (without adding a whole lot of cream - I normally use just a touch) mix some corn starch and cold water. For stew, flour your beef or chicken with some gluten-free flour and brown with onions and garlic in a splash of olive oil for a few minutes, add water (for broth, nothing beats "better than bullion"), scrape the browned bits from the pan, add more water slowly till it thickens up a bit, then toss in veggies and broth. You can use pretty much any combo of vegetables and meat in a good stew, and it's very filling.
You can also check out progresso soups if you're looking for easy dinner ideas -the cream of mushroom soup is gluten free, and makes an easy chicken baked dinner.
If you are looking for desert, again, start experimenting with and mixing up gluten free flours that are also appropriate for your child - and plenty of ready made gluten free products abstain from using white sugars, instead many are made with fruit juices.
Good luck, and just remember- experiment! If you find a good looking recipe and can't make it because of certain ingredients, creativly substitute something you can both have.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

With celiac you are suppose to avoid wheat so just switch to rice.
Diabetics are suppose to avoid too many low fiber carbs ( 1/2 of which are american over processed wheat products anyway ) so you both would do well on proteins (beef, pork , chicken , fish , eggs etc, etc ) and vegetables.
There are a hundred combinations of proteins and veggie dishes with all kinds of spices.
Since a 6 year old probably wants blander cooking, add your uber spices after you serve her her portions.
Why are you eating the same things over and over ?
Visit the meat & veggie & spice sections. . .
there are lots of choices ,
