When you are craving seafood, and want something spicy and non dairy, shrimp fra diavolo is great dish to try. After reading some different recipes to get ideas, I thought I would create my own dish… no recipe is the way to go. Menu: Shrimp Fra Diavolo, Garlic Bread, and Roasted Asparagus Ingredients: 1/2 LB of Shrimp, a few Tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, red pepper flakes, 1 head of garlic, non-dairy margarine, 1 loaf of non-dairy italian bread, a box of your favorite pasta, 1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce, 1 bundle of asparagus. As I do with any good Italian dish, I started by sauteing some onions in olive oil, with a pinch of … Read the rest >

So we love sushi because it’s (relatively) healthy, tastes great, and is dairy free — except for the Americanized things like Philadelphia Rolls. It can be expensive, so that’s why we suggested making your own (www.dairyfreenyc.com/homemade-sushi-2/). This can be an inexpensive way to indulge in a great sushi lunch/dinner. But what if you don’t want to do all of that work? Is there anywhere you can enjoy sushi and not pay an arm and a leg? One of our hidden gems in New York City is Iwasaki (on 1st Avenue and 61st Street). This place is like hard boiled eggs….tough to beat (insert laughter here). Iwasaki has a “special menu” that you often have to request directly. And trust us, … Read the rest >

Tried a new brunch place on Sunday, Boca East. The restaurant had a great feel, and was very friendly to those avoiding dairy. I wasn’t able to find much information on the restaurant prior to going, (which always makes me a bit nervous), but was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The place had a great feel, very rustic and “authentic” feeling — whatever that means. It just feels like the right word to describe the place. One big plus — I saw/overheard the owner speaking Italian to the chef… big points. There were plenty of items that seemed lactose/dairy free, but I went with the eggs and homemade sausage (at the request of a friend). The food was great, and … Read the rest >

Homemade Sushi — Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado, and Spicy Salmon As we’ve discussed before, sticking to Asian food is a great way to avoid dairy. Japanese, and specifically sushi, is a great example of that. If you avoid the Americanized products (i.e. Philadelphia roll), you won’t find any dairy products at a sushi restaurant. Many people think that making sushi at home can be extremely difficult, and it can be. But it doesn’t have to be. Loving sushi, I decided I wanted to make my own (especially because it can be so expensive to eat sushi out in New York City). I asked the sushi chef in our work cafeteria for some pointers (which were very helpful), and watched a … Read the rest >

When it’s summer and the weather is nice out, what’s better than a BBQ? Not much. For those avoiding dairy, it can be tricky avoiding cheese, or things that have touched cheese. But last week we grilled up a great dairy free meal — Hot dogs with caramelized onions, and a side of oven roasted potatoes (one of our favorite side dishes on DairyFreeNYC). There was nothing too complicated about this meal. I started by chopping two large vidalia onions. I made sure to leave the rings intact as much as possible, as this creates a better end product. I added some olive oil to a pan, a pinch of kosher salt, and about a tablespoon of dark … Read the rest >
