Any one else's family eat dairy free?

Casseroles rarely *require* certain ingredients. You can put just about anything in a dish, add a liquid and bake it, and it will be wonderful! Try searching, instead, for dairy-free soups that you can keep on hand to make casseroles easier on you. Meantime, check the area of the grocery store where you find rice milk and soy milk and other specialty items and you may find a great replacement for the canned soup. There is no magic about Campbells Soup...Im sure you'll find a great substitute that may even taste better!

Hi S.
My family is wheat free, and only my husband does dairy. It's hard at times I know. I always use rice or soy milk in cooking. You can also mash some white beans and a bit of rice milk together add some herbs for flavor and use that instead of creamed soup. It will add some good fiber to your diet as well. Trader Joes has a roasted red pepper humus that tastes cheesy. My daughter said I could use it for pizza. You can also send any recipe to me and I'll convert it for you :)
Good luck A. H
