Thanks so much everyone oatw13 I will look at those sites asap and look at the cook book I may find it used online. I appreciate all the help I can get.
One thing I tried was to use canned cocoanut milk for evaporated milk and so I can make homemade cr of potato soup and it is way better than with half and half.
thanks again, Alamoaa

Try substituting plain, unsweetened soy milk for anything you'd use milk for. (Note: I once accidently used vanilla flavored in soup....let's just say that you don't want to do that!!!!) I can't stand the taste to drink a glass of it, but use it all the time for everything else. There are some great soy cheeses out---I have a smoked provolone favorite that comes sliced and wrapped like American cheese that I love---and also the soy ice creams are really good when you're craving a treat.

My three favorite websites for recipes:
http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/
http://www.affairsofliving.com/
http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/
Between those three websites, I rarely wish I could eat dairy.

Thanks for this as well. I have to limit soy too. But I do use vanilla soy milk for cereal. And for cooking I found I like the cocoanut milk best. I love it in the cream of potato soups I make. Thanks for the help, AlamoAA

I am lactose intolerant, which is a bit easier. But in recipes that call for milk you can use rice milk, coconut milk, oat milk or soy. Cheese is a little more difficult, but I have tracked down a parmesan substitute, over here in the UK. We are always far behind you in these matters. Do you have Free From aisles in the supermarkets? I find lots of things there that I can use instead.

Mains--cottage and shepherds pie---lots of recipes with minced/ground beef, meatballs in tomatoes, usual roasts and casseroles, a pity you can;t get decent fish ,what about frozen ,then the recipes are endless.
