I love to take to meals to people when they are in need. I am helping a friend out this week and she has a daughter that is dairy free. They really prefer for the meal to be able to be eaten by everyone and I get that so I am trying to come up with a couple more ideas. I took them dinner today and just did grilled chicken, veggie salad, fruit salad and roasted potatoes. It was really good (we had it at home too) but I can't think of what to bring the other times this week. I asked her about dairy subs and she said they sometimes use a little almond milk if needed but outside of that she doesn't love the taste of other subs.
I have a lot of meals I take people and am never stumped until today. My week is pretty full and I wanted to ask for some good ideas from people that eat dairy free. I don't want to take the same thing again in 2 days. I also made a dairy free quiche so they could have that as an option for tomorrow.
I did think about maybe to do Burning Feathers Italian Beef and do some corn on the cob and some fruit as a possible idea. They don't do seafood.
TIA

Is she allergic, or DD just doesn't eat it? I'm only asking because I'm wondering if you have to be checking labels for cross-contamination of stuff that might have milk in it. I was going to suggest carnitas soft tacos (you can leave the cheese/sour cream at home, or take them on the side) with yvonne's mexican rice and chips and guac/salsa... but then I didn't know if you have to check like the tortilla ingredient list to be safe...

Carnitas recipe: allrecipes.com/recipe/139603/slow-cooker-carnitas/I am not sure. I believe they think she either has an allergy or some kind of sensitivity to it. She is 3 and doesn't have any dairy. Thanks for the idea. I will for sure check it out. Slow cooker sounds really good and easy with summer. |

Taco soup, or Taco salad - just take the cheese on the side for the other family members.

My dd has a close friend allergic to dairy so we're used to it. We also don't mix meat meals with dairy meals because we keep kosher so we're used to thinking dairy free.
Falafel with Israeli salad, hummus and pita
Lentil soup
Spaghetti and meatballs
Mashed potatoes and salmon and salad (dairy free - parev - margarine)
Curry chicken and rice

I've made Cottage Pie for a family that is dairy free, that we ate, too - for the potato mash on top I used Nutelex, a dairy-free butter substitute (not sure if you have that brand in US) and rice milk, and omitted the cheese on top. Apart from the missing cheese, we couldn't really tell the difference in taste and everyone wanted seconds!
I'm going to make them spaghetti bolognaise next - again, minus the cheese we usually put on top!

Great ideas. I'll just add that I substitute soy milk for milk in recipes and even my DH can't tell. So, if you have something in mind with milk, try that.

for mashed potatoes, you can sub chicken/veggie broth for the milk/butter and that works well.
I would do pulled pork or pulled chicken with a salad
in general - I found it was better to make meals that were naturally dairy-free rather than try to adapt recipes.

I eat dairy free. Please be careful with meatballs, tortellini, or ravioli. They all usually contain dairy.
Thank you for being so thoughtful!
