i recently had to cut dairy out of my diet because of dd's allergies, and i've lost all of my go-to cheap casserole recipes. other than spending a fortune on groceries or only eating chicken soup every day, does anyone have some good cheap dairy-free recipes? i eat meat, so i don't need vegetarian recipes per se (i call my new diet "vegan with a side of bacon" ), just some things that i can cook cheaply, from simple ingredients, that don't involve butter or cheese or cream or cream of chicken/mushroom. i really don't have room in my budget to use fancy ingredients and dairy substitutes (and most of those have casein in them so i can't eat them anyways). i do get tofu and soymilk through WIC, but i have not had luck yet with trying to substitute those in sauces and casseroles. how do others handle food allergies on a budget? am i doomed to chicken soup?
