[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need some new dairy free meals for my 10 month old. She has a milk protein allergy and I'm in a rut. Fine substituting coconut milk but avoiding fake cheese and stuff. [/quote] I lived this life for almost 7 years. What meal ideas do you need? Just for her or to eat as a family? Coconut milk wont work for every recipe, youll need to have multiple milks (to be frank) and look forward to milk replacements- we used Ripple. [/quote] Both? We try to give her what we eat but sometimes I need a baby only meal. She loves warm buckwheat cereal and eggs so breakfasts are okay. We do pasta with sardines once a week and then beef with sweet potatoes and broccoli. She really doesn't like most protein but beef. Ugh how did baby do on ripple? I'm hoping to keep giving her breast milk in a cup until 18-24 mths but I don't know if I can sustain it. [/quote] Yeah you are ahead of the game with what you are saying but Ill give a rundown of how we managed it Breakfast: Eggs or any other protein she will eat like jones chicken sausage from costco or the amylu chicken sausage patties Baked oatmeal- [url]https://www.yummytoddlerfood.com/coconut-cream-baked-oatmeal-from-brown-eggs-and-jam-jars/[/url] or [url]https://sweetsavoryandsteph.com/peach-baked-oatmeal/[/url]see multiple other versions. its freezeable, can be eaten warm or cold with a protein like sausage or dairy free yogurt Stovetop oatmeal French toast using challah bread or sourdough- you can bake ahead. add pecans for fat. I use any milk sub for this. Ripple adds protein. Oat adds creaminess. Canned coconut milk is good too. Dairy free yogurt parfaits- siggis is great for eaten alacarte but has a bit too much sugar. I mixed it with a kite hill greek df yogurt or iceland provisions skyr yogurt Muffins- most muffin recipes can be adapted because you can use milk sub and df baking sticks. Quick breads- vegan zucchini and banana breads. CFA breakfast bowls no cheese. Their butter is not real butter. Hashbrowns and fries are cooked in a separate fryer (must confirm with each location) than the breaded dairy chicken. Immaculate baking and Annies cinnamon rolls are DF for the holidays. Annies biscuits are also DF. Pillsbury crescent rolls with chicken sausage rolled up were a fav for my kid. Smoothies- use DF yogurt or avocado, fruit, splash apple juice, chia seeds, cauliflower "Milkshakes" use any DF ice cream, but Oatly worked best for us. Always Ice cream in Crofton, Annapolis were our go-to. Theres a bakery in Annapolis/Edgewater- Black Market Bakers- that makes vegan treats and they are insanely delicious. Unsure if you are also having to be DF for breastfeeding but it was nice to go somewhere as our kid got older for special treats where all of us could eat. We always used their holiday ordering for a vegan pie and rolls since I was already having to make an entire meal for my kid dairy free for the holidays. Pancakes use Pearl Milling brand for cheapest pancakes; we like the Birch Benders original classic. Lunch/Dinner: Eating out go-tos for when you get to this stage: Burger King, Mod Pizza, Chipotle, McDonalds as long as you are okay with cross contamination from the fryer with nuggets since the fries have dairy in them, Chickfila grilled nuggets and fries, the kale salad, fruit cup, etc. We did a menu rotation with soup/stew/chili, breakfast, crockpot, grill, etc. Literally most chilis are DF. Just keep to meat carb veggie. Carbs- rice, potatoes, fries, sweet potatoes, pasta, some pita breads, some sourdough breads, etc. Country crock with olive oil by the tub for butter, use the baking sticks for baking. Branch out to other meats besides beef, chicken, etc. Try bison, lamb, duck, etc. If you need to stick to beef then try to get beef that includes the organs. The only cheeses we found to be worthwhile were DF Feta and oatmilk queso. Snack options: ritz crackers, bakery bars, oreos, cheerios/honey nut cherrios (once honey is ok), chex, target cereal bars, larabars, rx bars, annies vegan mac isnt horrible unless youve had the real thing :lol: Trader joes and WF have great options. TJ has a DF pesto as well as a vegan tzatziki. We did a lot of bowls too like burger bowls, greek chicken bowls, lamb pita bowls. Find some DF pita bread. Middle eastern bakeries or stores usually have the best versions and we freeze them. You can make naan pizza at home as well using their longer "Naan" bread (its flatbread shaped not the actual Naan since most Naan has dairy in it IME). Stick to basics and then branch out. Youll find your go-to items for grab-n-go but you will likely need to make a lot of food at home and just pack it. I basically did a pasta dish rotated weekly with a meatloaf/chicken dish with different sauces and veggies for lunches plus a quick bread or muffins every week. Oatmeal half of the week, pancakes the other half. Then smoothies the next week for 2-3 days then french toast. Lastly, try to avoid replacements for MOST things. Dairy free is just stick to the perimeter grocery shopping at its core. The only replacement I will say worked was DF heavy whipping cream for cast iron chicken pot pie (use biscuits from a can) but it doesnt truly work in crockpot recipes IME. Read EVERY label EVERY time. Dairy is in bread, crackers, stuff like McDonalds french fries, cookies, sauces, etc. [/quote]
