Food Allergy and skint help needed.

gettingsorted

HI all,
I wondered if anybody had any recipes that where suitable for me. I have a dairy intolerance and cannot eat eggs either. I am married and also have two children so need to be able to cook something for all of us to eat together. I am also skint so the cheaper the better and I hate tomatoes so please none of them.
I know I am asking for a lot but even one recipe would be a help thanks

Cook sliced onion in pot for long time until dark and sticky. Bung lightly cooked veggies and cooked pasta/rice into pot of stock made with good stock cube/bouillion. Season. Bubble. Decide whether you want it thick or thin by the time you leave it boiling. Serve with crusty bread. Cost of onion, veggies, pasta/rice, stock cube and bread, pretty manageable.

Add bit of meat if you can afford it or want to have it. You can shred it finely if it's precooked and it will go much further that way, as OH won't realise he hasn't got a whole chicken breast all to himself.


Other than that, you should have a good look at Weezl's thread - there are the true experts....

The Free from ranges are so expensive I have a friend who is both gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant, so I know how difficult it must be for you.
Labels on food have to be read carefully because it is surprising how many products have milk or egg in the ingredients
She uses soya milk in her recipes to make sauces, custards etc
For cakes she uses an egg free recipe or a vinegar cake recipe and just puts whatever fruit - or not into them. She also uses cocoa because it doesn't contain milk or eggs (There are plenty of recipes for these if you Google them)

Main meals are things like mince, chicken, lamb or beef with plenty of veggies

Hi, my son is dairy and egg allergic, and i rarely cook different meals for him - chosing to prepare for all of us the same meal - most recipes you can just leave out the eggs when baking, and sub soya milk for the fluid - chose knorr stock cubes instead of oxo, bisto for gravy granules and mash potatoes with soya marg and make the usual shep pie type dishes - pastry sub soya marg and there's no difference. Soups again use knorr stock cubes if you arent making your own and thicken with pulses - soya yoghurt is versitile for a non tomatoe sauce for meatballs etc. Feel free to pm me if you wish

Hey,

I'd suggest having a look at the 'going vegan' thread here as all the recipes are dairy and egg free and then you just add meat if you want it. There's even cakes and lovely things. HTH.

Thanks to all of you I do substitute soya for milk and I do make cakes using a substitute egg. I also have soya yogs have found dairy free ice-cream and also have soya marg. its just that some times you need someone to suggest new recipes as I get so sick of eating the same things.
How would I find weezl's thread?
