Dairy/soy free baked treats

Thanks so much, Christina, for mentioning my blog here. I thought I'd just clarify that ALL of my recipes are egg free and dairy free! Where I use soymilk occasionally in my baking, you can replace almond milk with virtually no change in results.

The site again is http://dietdessertndogs.wordpress.com

Thanks!
Ricki :)

Dairy/soy free baked treats

I found it interesting when reading this, which took me some time to find again once I signed up, that so may of you have suggested the use of soy to replace milk, and the use of margerine. I posted something someplace else saying I can help with recipes like what you are looking for but margerine is NOT soy free. I have not found ONE single margerine yet that does not contain soy, including Earth Balance brand. Milk itself, if the cows are fed conventional feed, contains soy, as do eggs and meat. It is possible to get alternatives, grass fed beef and hard to find soyfree grain fed eggs but they are costly. I have come up with many good ways to get past what I can't have . It takes time and effort but one can accumuate a good cache of foods to eat free of soy, eggs, meat and dairy. Beware though of the hidden soy names. Synthetic vitamin E is soy based. It goes by the name Tocopherol. Also, if your product specifies "natural flavoring" soy is likely a part of that as well. You would be amazed at how many teas include soy and or natural flavorings.

@SSmom--my friend's son is allergic to dairy and soy and wheat and a whole bunch of other stuff, so he'd never had a cookie in his young life. One day his mom made Rice Krispy Treats with margarine. He LOVED them and told his mom, he loved her. Sometimes a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do.
