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!

Supplies:

1 Cardboard Egg Carton
Watercolor Paints
1 Sheet White Cardstock Paper
2 Sheets Patterned or Colored Paper (scrapbook paper)
1 White Pipe Cleaner
2 Pipe Cleaners, any color
Hot Glue Gun
2 Tea Bags
Scissors

Directions:

1. First, cut 2 pieces of cardstock about 4”x 6” in size and cut 2 pieces of patterned/colored paper about 3”x 5” in size. We used white card stock and colored scrapbook paper.

2. When you have your paper cut, center each piece of patterned paper on top of each white piece, and glue down on them. These are your two cards.

3. Grab your egg carton. Use the bottom part of the egg carton and cut 2 of the egg holders from the end of the egg carton. Cut off one side of each egg holder, making sure to leave the other 3 sides intact. When you lay it down on the flat cut off side, it will look like a little round cup.

4. Once your teacups are cut, use the watercolors to paint each little egg holder cup any color you choose, we used blue and purple. Let these dry for a few minutes.

5. While your tea cups are drying, cut 2 pieces of the white pipe cleaners each about 3” long. Cut 1 piece each of the colored pipe cleaners about 3” long. Twist a white piece with each colored piece so you now have 2 pieces that looked striped.

6. Make each one into a small handle shape and glue each one to the egg holder cups. I glued one end on the inside top, and the other end to the outside so they look like cup handles.

7. Glue each teacup with the flat cutout side down onto the cards. Put one of the tea bags into each little cup and let the string dangle over it.

These make cute cards for Mother’s Day or anytime! They would be SO fun for a tea party, too!

Muffins with Mom Muffin Recipes

One of my favorite memories with the girls is when they were in preschool. The teachers would hold a Muffins with Mom and Doughnuts with Dad breakfast around Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. They were such special moments for the kids and I and provided more than enough adorable memories. Plus, it goes without saying that the muffins were beyond delicious!

I took inspiration from those preschool Mother’s Day muffin breakfasts and put together my own list of the tastiest Muffins with Mom recipes that I hand-picked from across the internet. If you’re searching for the best Mother’s Day breakfast idea, I guarantee this will wow Mom on her special day! Accompany your muffins with fresh fruit, coffee, a mimosa, and/or any other breakfast treats that Mom loves. These make a great addition to your Mother’s Day brunch spread, too!

What supplies will you need for these muffin recipes?

All of these recipes have their own tasty flavors that set them apart from the rest. However, if you’re looking for muffin basics to have on hand, you’ll generally want to have these ingredients. You’ll likely already have most of these ingredients, so once you select the muffin recipe that you think Mom will love, simply shop for the items you don’t have in the kitchen. The remaining ingredients depend on the individual recipes you’ll find below!

Most of these Muffins with Mom recipes call for…

Eggs
Milk (any milk you have on hand will do, including non-dairy milk like almond, oat, etc.)
A neutral oil or butter
Flour
Sugar
Baking powder
Salt
Muffin tins
Muffin liners (these are optional, but colorful muffin tin liners really jazz up the presentation of your special Mother’s Day breakfast! If you don’t have any on hand, you can grease your muffin tins with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.)
