Dairy Free Recipes 2012

Veggie pasta primavera can serve as the main course during either lunch or dinner.

In addition to vegetables, it includes dairy free cheese and soy milk.

Select the type of pasta desired and cook it according to the instructions on the package.

For a very healthy alternative, choose wheat pasta, which comes in various types.

During the final five minutes of cook time, add ten ounces of baby spinach, one each thin-sliced medium red and yellow pepper, and eight ounces of sliced mushrooms (if they are from a jar, drain them).

This is just one of the main dishes that someone who is lactose intolerant or has voluntarily chosen to give up lactose can enjoy.

Lactose free products include various styles of cream cheese, regular cheese, frozen foods, cookies, dessert bars, and even pizza.

Frozen dessert sandwiches feature unique flavors like key lime, peanut butter, and blueberry.

Each treat tastes great and provides none of the painful side effects common with dairy desserts.

Even if you do not have a restrictive diet, this food can be incorporated to reduce unnecessary fats.

Sugar Cookie Recipe 2012 - Perfect for your whole family

You will need:

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter (softened at room temperature)
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar with electric mixer until it becomes light and creamy. Next, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended.

By hand with a spoon slowly stir in the flour and salt.

If you'd like rounded, "drop cookies", spoon about 1.5 inch balls of dough onto your cookie sheet, then immediately bake in oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are golden. The dough will expand in the oven, so leave about 2 inches of space in between each drop.

If drop cookies are too plain and you're feeling creative, roll the dough onto a floured surface instead. Use a rolling pin to smooth the dough and use cookie cutters to shape figures about ¼ to ½ inch thick.

The rolling pin should be lightly floured as well to prevent the dough from sticking. With a variety of cookie cutters, your dough can be shaped and decorated for any occasion.

As with the drop cookies, after placing the dough on cookie sheets, bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until the edges have turned golden.

When the cookies appear ready, carefully remove the sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with sugar, or powdered sugar. Cookies can also be decorated with frosting, sprinkles, or melting chocolates.

(3) Adding half a carrot or half of a celery stick one way of sneaking in some extra veggies. Again experiment with other veggies.

(4) Add ice and/or water to make your smoothie to the consistency you like. I like thinner consistency so I can easily sip with a straw.

(5) Choose a leafy green such as spinach or kale, or parsley and cilantro. Herbs have great detoxifying properties so don't forget those. Rotate your greens and try different ones. Add about one cupful of a leafy green of your choice or start with a smaller quantity if you are new to making smoothies.

Red Lentil Soup Recipe

Total Time with Preparation and Cooking is around 45 minutes

Makes enough for 4 bowls.

Ingredients -

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
small piece of ginger, peeled and minced
6 cups water or vegetable stock
1 cup red lentils
1 zucchini, quartered and chopped
1 small head broccoli, chopped
2 carrots, scrubbed and chopped
1 piece kelp, cut into small bits (optional)
1 tsp ground cumin
pinch black pepper
1 Tbsp miso
1-2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Let's start cooking -

You can saute the onion, garlic and ginger in oil for a more distinct flavor, or put them into boiling water for a more subtle broth. Add the

cumin and pepper here if you are sauteeing, as it will infuse into the oil and be carried through the soup. If you're not sauteeing, you can add

seasoning whenever you like. Pour 6 cups of water or stock into the pot (after sauteeing if you are) and add the lentils.

Bring the water to a boil, then leave to simmer for 10-15 min, or until the lentils are cooked. Chop the vegetables while they cook.

Add the vegetables and seasoning (if you haven't already) to the pot, and give them 5-15 minutes to cook, depending on how soft you want

them.

Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, take the pot off the stove and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Stir in the miso, then taste to

make sure you like the seasoning, adjusting if you need to. Serve garnished with the sesame seeds - white or black seeds are nice with this

soup. I hope you have fun with this red lentil soup recipe, the latest of my healthy vegan recipes, and with the basic technique for making

soup that follows.

Basic Soup Techniques –
1. Start with an onion and some garlic. Saute them in oil for a more distinct flavor, or put them into boiling water for a more subtle broth. Add

spices and herbs here if you are sauteeing, as they will infuse into the oil and be carried through the soup. If you're not sauteeing, you can add

seasoning whenever you like.

2. If you are adding a grain, starchy vegetable (potatoes, squash, beets, etc.) or a fast-cooking legume (lentil or split pea), add them with the

water or stock. You can add salt here if you're using a grain or starchy vegetable, but if you are cooking a legume do not add any salt until it's

fully cooked. If you are adding a bean, it should be cooked before adding it to the soup (canned beans are already cooked).

3. Bring the water to a boil, then leave to simmer until the grain or legume is cooked.

4. Add the vegetables that you want, giving them time to cook to your liking. Longer cooking vegetables (eggplant, carrots, etc.) can be added

earlier while softer vegetables (zucchini, peppers, etc.) can be added a bit later. If you're using leafy greens, they should be added just 5

minutes before serving.

5. Taste to make sure you like the seasoning, adjusting if you need to. Garnishes always add a bit of visual appeal - go for a color contrast.
Sesame seeds look nice in green or orange soups, parsley, chives or green onions look nice in pale soups.
