I've done soy and dairy free. I'm happy to give ideas, but it's a lot easier with a bit more specific request. Do you want sweet, salty, gooey? What flavors? Any particular craving? I do a lot of crock pot cooking and basic stuff...I'm no Food Network Star! The only thing I really missed out on being soy and dairy free is butter and cheese. I also never really wanted to go to the trouble of substituting for "cream of" soups. Other than that it was pretty easy to cook...dining out, well, that's a whole nother story.

Here is a list of what I ate. It was hard for me to go to the WHole Foods Market b/c its 45 minutes away, but I tried to make a trip every month and stock up. I *did* eat processed meats and for whatever reason, it never seemed to bother DS.
Dairy Free Meals I Can Make
Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs (with rice milk)
Microwave bacon
Toast-use Smart Balance *Light* butter
Pancakes-use rice milk
Most Cereals
Oatmeal-quaker brown sugar pre-packaged is safe
Lunch:
Leftovers from dinner
Sandwhiches and potato chips
Chicken Salad
Tuna Salad
South Beach Diet lunches
Snacks:
Fruit
Hummus and Pita Chips
Apple with sunflower butter
Homemade Popcorn
Dinners:
Any kind of meat (meatloaf, pork roast, roast, shake-n-bake chicken)
Potatoes-mashed, fried, baked
Any Veggie- sauted with olive oil
Tacos, burritos, etc. with guacamole
Pinto Beans and Rice
Spagetti-read ingredients or make your own sauce
Chili
Chicken Chili
Easy Chili (aka minestrone chili)-use a vegetable soup and add some cooked noodles-campbell's minestrone soup has dairy)
Jambalaya-don’t use butter
Ball Park Beef Franks
Desserts:
Rice Dream Ice Cream
Edy’s strawberry Popsicles
Smores-use Sam’s Choice chocolate chips, HoneyMade Grahms
Chocolate chip cookies-Duncan Hines Family Recipe-mix (found at Harvest Foods and economy size at Wal-Mart)

Here is a list I compiled from some emails I got from other people:
-
Breakfast: (Frosted Mini Wheats, Honey Nut Cheerio,
Frosted Cheerios, Barbara's Shreaded Oats, Quaker Oatmeal Breakfast
Cookies, Jiff peanut butter on Van's Organic Blueberry Waffles, fruit
Lunch: Peanut butter on Rudi's Organic Bakers 7 Grain bread, humus,
eggs, MulitGrain Flatout Tortillas, fruit
Dinner: Chicken or fish marinated (Mrs. Dash 10 min. marinade, Newman's
light balsamic vinaigrette, etc), salad, potato, sweet potatoes, french
fries (Alexia oven fries), pasta (Healthy Harvest - check because I did
find one that had "lac" something) with browned ground beef in pasta sauce,
salmon burgers, Organic vegi burgers (I forget the brand and I don't have
any in the freezer), fruit
Snacks: Graham crackers, Choc. Chip Teddy Grahams, nuts, dried fruit,
fruit snacks/ fruit roll ups/ streamers, popsicles, Kitty Cat cookies from
Trader Joe's, Red. Fat Triscuits, Nature's promise Strawberry Granola Bars,
whole wheat ritz crackers
Boar's Head deli meats (all varieties of ham and turkey are okay, I think)
Mrs. Paul's fish filets and fish sticks
Tyson chicken nuggets
Applegate farms organic turkey dogs
Trader Joe's Potato Latkes
Rice Dream rice milk (plain, vanilla, and chocolate)
Breakfast cereals (oatmeal, Post Raisin Bran, Life, Kix, etc)
Graham crackers
All-natural almond and peanut butter
Hummus
Breakfast -
Toast with banana smeared on it
Cheerios with banana and Rice Milk
Organic Weetabix with banana and Rice Milk
occasional bagel
1/2 avocado mashed with 1/2 banana was a great source of fat and
vitamins as an infant, too bad he doesn't like avocado anymore!
Snack -
Dried apple, figs, apricots, raisins, dates,
Cheerios, crackers (My Family Farm animal friends), pretzels, etc.
read the ingredients!
Bread or pita (read the ingredients!)
Two Bite Brownies by Homestyle are dairy and soy free, great to bring
to a birthday party and small portion size is perfect!
Lunch -
Citterio prosciutto ham with canteloupe or figs
Applegate Farms ham with grapes or figs
Applegate Farms smoked turkey
Applegate Farms turkey bologna with figs or grapes
bread or pita
Scrambled eggs with spinach
hard boiled eggs
Dinner
- Trader Joe's Southwest style turkey burgers
- corn on the cob or steamed
- chicken drumsticks with homemade BBQ sauce (ketchup, rice vinegar,
onion powder, molasses), bake at 325 for 30-45 minutes
- Pork chops seared in olive oil then simmered in chicken broth,
served with applesauce
- Pork loin baked at 325 for 20-30 minutes, served with mango chutney
(who knew? He fights me for it!)
- Pasta with a little tomato sauce where I can try to hide some
steamed broccoli or chopped up meatballs made from ground pork and
lamb [tonight's discovery was using leftover turkey meatloaf]
- Plain pasta with lots of olive oil
- Turkey meatloaf (1 lb ground turkey [Empire Kosher seems OK, even
though it has natural flavors, I prefer the mixed over the white
meat], 1 1/2 cups stuffing mix (read the label!), 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
(we make our own, above), 1 egg, 1 onion sauteed, mix together, bake
350 degrees 45 minutes. I've been chopping broccoli into it lately,
very successful! Another variation I've done is with tomato sauce
instead of the BBQ sauce, with some Italian herbs, served with sauce
at the table even my husband likes it. He can broil some shredded
cheese on top of his!
- Roasted chicken from the supmkt, again, check the ingredients
- Turkey stew - cooked dark turkey meat, dried apricots, chicken
broth, rice, chop ingredients and simmer 10 minutes, then puree or
serve as is. Also turkey with broth, rice and grapes worked for a bit too.
- For James Frozen Latkes/Potato pancakes from Trader Joes were too
oniony, and Ians allergen free chicken and fish sticks were too
crunchy, but they might work for you!
- Pumpkin Stew in a Pot from a book by Lizzie Vann - bake winter
squash or pumpkin until soft. Cut up and saute 2 apples, 1 onion, 1
lb ground turkey or pork, until brown. Add chicken broth to cover and
1/3 c. raisins, simmer 20 minutes. Add squash and bring back to a
boil, then bake in oven 350 for 20 minutes. Freezes beautifully and
defrosts on the stove like a dream, just add some more chicken broth!

The basic thing to remember is that you can have all fruits and veggies; most meat, poultry and fish preparations (obviously without cheese or cream sauces); not many sweet baked goods (muffins, cakes, etc.); some plain baked goods (bagels, wheat bread); few desserts (maybe some fruit-based). So concentrate on the fruits/veg. and you'll be
fine.

Whitness-Yes I discovered rice milk when I was dairy free and it was awesome to cook with!! Thanks for the site...I'll send that on to SIL.
Tift-
Oh I dont know exactly. My MIL is trying to cook for my SIL and I was just trying to think of different things she could cook or just have on hand for SIL to snack on. I wasnt very creative in my foods-just stuck with what I knew I liked.
mhofener
One thing that helped me was to go thru cookbooks and find stuff I could make or could "tweak" with ricemilk and make.
There are lists of safe foods at restaurants.....but I dont have it saved on my computer or remember where I got it. You can google it and try to find stuff. I know some Subway breads are safe, for example.
I was "bad" and cheated on majoy holidays. It was kinda my own way to keep my sanity and not feel depressed-its crazy that *food* can make some people feel that way!!! But I do live in the South and cheesy comfort foods are what most people eat/cook/have at family gatherings, unfortunately.
Anyway when I would "cheat", My DS would spit up a little and get gassy and I would remember why I was doing it. Then I ate dairy on Easter, right when DS turned one and *nothing* happened. Woo-Hoo-Bring on the Pizza!! Anyway, point is-you get used to it, its an easy way to lose weight;) , and your kiddo thanks you for it. So Good Job Momma!!!!
