dairy free recipes
Hi all!
I am struggling to be creative enough to think of some dairy free recipes for me. K and DH are eating dairy, so I make myself something different for most meals, so looking for something easy, and quick for 1. I have roasted chicken breasts, ate oatmeal and lots of PB and honey sandwiches. Any other recipes that sound yummy?
TIA

Re: dairy free recipes
Check out http://www.godairyfree.org/Table/Recipes/. They have lots of great recipes.
If I need something quick and easy I will do a baked potato with shredded chicken and Blue Bonnet Light, which is dairy free. Homemade mini pizzas without cheese are good too. Honestly, I usually just alter whatever I'm making for DH and DD to be dairy free or make myself a smaller serving without cheese if its a casserole that calls for it (like lasagna, cavatini, etc). Chicken salad, tuna salad.
CHEESE STEAK QUESADILLAS MINUS CHEESE ON MINE:
(2 t oil, 1 onion, sliced)
1 green pepper, sliced
? lb sliced roast beef
(1 - 2 T horseradish)
4 whole wheat tortillas
? c shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
10.5 oz can Au Jus
Saut? onions 5 minutes, add peppers and saut?
until soft, about 5 minutes more. Remove onions and
peppers from pan and place a tortilla in the pan. Top
w/ half of cheese, beef, onions, peppers and
horseradish. Top w/ another tortilla and cook until
browned on both sides and cheese is melted. Repeat
w/ remaining tortillas.
Heat Au Jus as directed.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH CARBONARA
6 slices turkey bacon
2 c diced butternut squash
? box whole wheat angel hair pasta
(2 egg yolks, 2 T FF milk, 1 t minced garlic, 1 T sage, chopped, black pepper)
Cook bacon and set aside. Add squash to pan and
cook 8-10 minutes or until soft. Boil pasta as directed,
drain and reserve some pasta water. Mix together
egg yolk and milk. Add garlic and sage to
squash, season w/ black pepper. Add pasta and
bacon to pan, tossing to coat. Remove from heat and
add egg mixture. Toss to combine, adding pasta
water as needed to form light sauce.
PEPPERONI LOAF MINUS CHEESE ON MINE:
1 refrigerated pizza crust
8 oz low moisture shredded mozzarella
4 oz pkg turkey pepperoni
(1 egg white, 1 t dry mustard, 1 t garlic salt,
1 t pepper, 4 t Italian seasoning)
8 oz tomato sauce, for dipping, warmed
Spread pizza crust to a large rectangle on sprayed
cookie sheet. Brush w/ egg white. Sprinkle spices
evenly, then cheese, then a single layer of pepperoni.
Roll loaf up, length-wise. Pinch ends. Place seam
side down. Brush egg white on top. Bake 20
minutes @400, until bread is done. Serve w/ warmed
tomato sauce seasoned w/ Italian seasoning to taste
for dipping.
I could go on and on. I have fallen in love with finding dairy-free alternatives that we all love since going dairy free almost six months ago.
ETA: If you need any tips on finding dairy free options of go-to foods let me know as I've gotten pretty good at it! llwenger at yahoo.
I'm a huge dairy lover, but these recipes sound delicious! Going to have to try them.
