Stephanie, I have a son who has an anaphylactic allergy to dairy. It make me sick to eat it, but he will die if he ingests it without the assistance of an Epi Pen Jr. As you can imagine, it has drastically changed our eating habits! In fact, that's what the Lord used to get me started on the road to healthier living.

All that to say, I would LOVE an archive from you on dairy-free recipes!!!! Getting a 2.5 year old to eat is a challenge, not to mention with his allergies! (He is also allergic to peanuts and was recently symptomatic to fish.) Please, please help! Thank you!!

@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home, Mine are the same ones (from my childhood LOL!) but I've seen them at garage sales. However, in a pinch, you could use a paper cup (yes I know not the best and I don't normally use them) and a popsicle stick stuck in the middle instead of the red handle.

@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home, Good to know, thanks! Myself and my toddler are dairy free (her because I prefer to wait until at least 2 or even 3 due to dairy allergy problems in my family and extended family, me because I have a problem with it for sure). Its not easy at all. I can tolerate some goat products, and do use them occasionally for myself. But its expensive, and I can't feed that to the family (expensive and my husband won't eat it). I always find it hard to find recipes. It seems a lot of easy recipes need cheese and milk, and "meat and veggies and starch" doesn't appeal to me at all.

We just got the boxed organic coconut milk in the natural foods section of our grocery store. I'm SO excited since my daughter is very allergic to milk and I'm a bit. I just make a strawberry/blueberry coconut milk smoothie. Gonna try the popsicles next. I think I'm going to need lots of this stuff. (Thinking about trying the keifer recipe you gave too.)

@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home,
Stephanie, thanks for pointing me here! I want to make pickles this year for sure! Otherwise my budget will be totally blown with having to buy Bubbies all year (my hubby's new addiction!). What would you say is the max # of months the pickles would last in the fridge if the jar is not opened?

Those look great! Yesterday I had leftover watermelon that I blended up and poured into ice cube trays. We're having 'watermelon juice' today :) I should try to find some popsicle molds!

@Jessa, Umm, a garage sale? I'm honestly not sure! :) That's where a lot of my things like that come from! But if you couldn't find one at a garage sale or thrift store (another good place to look) then check out the kitchen plastic section at Walmart or somewhere like that. Even dollar stores often have them!
