Recipes and Foods For The Milk Free

I made this one day when I did not feel like messing with making rice or worrying about it turning out right. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was this really good, but that I may even like it better than my version with rice! It could also have been the veggies I had at the time, which included cabbage. I hope you like this! I tried to make it as healthy as I could without any way of actually knowing how many calories are in it.

Dairy Free Fish Recipes: Baked Fish and Veggies

Filet of your favorite fish

1/2 onion chopped

1/4 small cabbage chopped

1 stalk celery chopped

a few chopped black olives

1-cup chicken broth (about 8 frozen chicken broth cubes)

Directions

Lay the fillet on a strip of aluminum foil big enough that you will be able to fold it up around all the fish and veggies to make a pouch. I keep the foil on a baking pan in case it leaks. Fold sides up so that liquid will not escape. Mix veggies together and pile on top of the fish. Pour the broth in over the fish and veggies (melt the cubes in the microwave if frozen). Fold up the sides of the foil to enclose everything inside.  Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.

My mom made this for me the last time she was done and I fell in love with it! Especially, the yellow squash which I now can’t seem to get enough of. She also bought the shrimp which meant that we got to use the entire bag instead of the quarter of a bag I probably would have used to save money. Mmmmm! You have got to try this. Not only is it tasty but it is very healthy as well and would probably feed four people.

We are having so much fun cooking at home again!  Every night has been a treat, and a challenge, to not only get to cook but come up with something good with the limited supplies we could afford right now.  Last night we had an old stand-by that we both enjoy and is easy to cook as well as being a great dairy free recipe!

I had never had salmon patties until my mother-in-law made them one night and I’ve been addicted ever since!  She generally serves them with macaroni and cheese (dairy free butter noodles for me), peas, and corn bread.  I don’t make mine with the corn bread and neither the hubby or me is very big on peas so we end up with just the pasta and patties!

Dairy Free Recipe : Pasta and Patties

Salmon Patties 

1 can salmon (drained and flaked)

1/4 cup chopped green onion

1 large egg

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp brown mustard

1 cup bread crumbs

Directions:  Mix all of this together in a bowl and form into patties.  I then fry these in a skillet with very little oil until browned on both sides.

Butter Noodles

2 cups noodles (boil and drain the water)

1/2 cup dairy free butter

1 tsp garlic powder

Directions: After boiling the noodles and draining them I throw the butter and garlic powder in the pot with them.  The heat of the cooked noodles helps to melt the butter.

 I serve these together and throw in some microwave mac and cheese for the hubby.  This is an easy dairy free recipe that takes almost no time to cook!
