Who has a child friendly, dairy free (no milk/cheese/butter), no fuss (for single dad) main course recipe?

Question

Recipes cannot call for any dairy, i.e., butter, cheese, milk (or must easily be substituted with other items) and must appeal to both a 10 and 14 yr old. A single dad with minimal cooking experience and time must be able to easily follow the recipe! Current favorites are pasta, pasta, pasta! These kids (and dad) need some variety!

Answer 2

Oh my! If you are meat and potato people, this question is easy.
Hamburger (Angus medium is fresh, never frozen and chuck only) fried with onions, one shake of minced garlic, pepper and a little green or red peppers.
When cooked, pour a can of gravy over and let simmer a few minutes. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and frozen peas or boiled carrots. You can also use rice instead of potatoes. A quick way to do veggies is in a steamer. You can put carrots, corn on the cob, broccoli, all in the steamer and have only one pot to clean after. Only spice required is parsley and/or pepper or celery salt.
Another meat that is easy is pork chops. Wash off, put in a glass dish (that can go in the oven), flavour with pepper, pinch of salt, garlic, onions; cover and bake for about 50-60 min. then remove the cover and let brown. As a topping, you can add BBQ sauce (Kraft) or a little ketchup or that same gravy from the previous recipe.

Answer 3

What about tacos, they have cheese that is non dairy for vegetarians, boco burgers, pasta salads let the children help u decide what to go into it, buit there is non dairy milks, soy and what have u rice milk, I did home health and many clients, used rice milk, veggie cheese, with these new items for vegetarians and is easy to take normal everyday favorites and make them into your own. I am not inot the veggie substitutes myself , but just brwose thru the shopping isles as i had to. Also, I love making stuffed squash, any filling u like rice veggies(spinch, broc. etc) meat, use those veggie crumbles and fill and bake( bake semi before stuffing the squash so its tender.) let the chilfdren pick ingredients. They can stuff them too, Good luck and hope you have good responses.

Answer 5

BEANS and POTATOES

Wow, you have a tight diet I see!.But kids often dont like beans--but they need the protein, especially since you are Vegans.

Um, you can boil some pinto beans for 1 hour--cover the pot halfway with water and boil, adding some Adobe seasonings.

And fry some potatoe steaks from the frozen food section--they'll LOVE that.

Peace
