Dairy Free Recipes

Nursing the twins has been rather hard. First, they were born early and never got a good latch. Coming from a mother that breastfed her first three children, the extra steps required were going to take me being attached to a breast pump rather than my precious newborns. Once the routine of pumping became the norm, I started noticing colic in Henry. This was around 7 weeks of age. In addition to the colic, Henry was constipated and having alot of projectile vomit with mucus. I researched potential reasons and we eliminated dairy from my diet. This seemed to do the trick and thus began the sacrifice of not only pumping, but additionally changing my diet and sacrificing my favorite foods.

I made the mistake with my third born of creating a healthy diet and lowering my calorie intake. Happily, I lost my baby weight but sadly, I also lost my supply, Since I was trying to keep up a supply for twins, I began searching Dairy Free Recipes to go with my new Dairy Free Diet. Many of these recipes have the intent of still supplying calories and still remaining tasty. Additionally, I researched some recipes that support lactation and breast milk production. My goal in this post was not to overload you with meats and veggies (because that is obviously an easy elimination to dairy) but to supply you with tasty eats, so you don’t feel like your diet is a sacrifice.

Helpful tip: OREOs were my best friend. Did you know OREOs are dairy free? They totally helped me with cravings that often had diary.

Primary Sources of Dairy:

• Milk
• Cheese
• Butter
• Half-and-half
• Cream
• Buttermilk
• Cream Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Cottage Cheese
• Whey
• Cottage Cheese

First up, baking was particularly hard on me. I found this Dairy Free Conversions Chart and it was pretty convenient for pretty much everything involves milk, cream or butter!

Ooey, Gooey, cheesy goodness – this Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread really hits the spot. An easy homemade pizza recipe the entire family will enjoy.

Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread

So late last year (2017), I gave birth to twins. Everything was as smooth sailing as smooth sailing goes (with twins that are your 4th and 5th children) until the reflux it. Let me tell you. I had 5 kids, two who suffered mild colic but this colic was the worst. Constant screaming. Weeks of it. It was in my research and talking to others, I discovered my son had a dairy allergy. With that came a 6 month strike of dairy – it was awful. No cheese, no milk, no butter – you try and find meals that have no dairy in them. Anyways, upon the graduation of breast feeding (I was really pumping), came all the cheese I could eat. All the GOOD cheese I could eat. That included this heavenly dinner recipe – Sausage and Ricotta Pizza Stuffed Cheese Bread.

As a woman CRAVING cheese, this stuffed pizza recipe hit the spot. I mean really hit the spot. This dinner recipe is so delicious. You, and your family, will love it! I promise.

• 2 tsp. Basil
• 2 Cloves of garlic minced
• 1 Onion chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp. Coconut oil

Directions:
