Well, eggs don't really qualify as dairy. Since, they like, come from chickens and not cows.

But I would go the bacon and sausage route with the bagels and toast.

No muffins. Steak.

Seriously.

Sometimes a problem can be turned into an adventure.

Check out the polenta thread. Fried polenta with maple syrup is a great breakfast. You can vary it by doing the same with grits. And if you're not a vegetarian, try some Philadelphia scrapple which is pork and cornmeal.

I would think that pancakes and waffles can be made with soy or rice milk.

Also, think out of the box. Many of the things we eat for other meals can serve for the first meal of the day. There is much benefit in making breakfast the main meal of the day. The principal drawback, time, can be handled with some careful planning. After all, what's wrong with soup or stew on a cold morning? Fried chicken livers are quick and a great breakfast.

You mention that you eat muffins. All the muffin recipes I know of include eggs. So, presuming that you are not against using eggs as an ingredient in a recipe, you could make pancakes -- plain, blueberry, apple, etc. Where the recipe calls for milk, substitute non-dairy soy "milk."

Yes, or just some slices of leftover strip steak.

Or a few bones from prime rib to gnaw on.

That's breakfast.

Leftover prime rib chunks mixed into a roasted root veggie hash.

That's actually one of my favorite breakfasts. (But topped w/ two poached eggs.)

how do i make anything, ie a birthday treat with [out] that? so many butter alternatives have either dairy or soy additives... what's a girl to do?

a thought was some type of fresh fruit tart... the mom said maybe an apple tart... which immediately got me thinking about frangipane... but that requires egg.

any suggestions???

This is supposed to be excellent, although I haven't personally tried it. It was developed during WWII when eggs, milk, butter, etc. were rationed, and was called Wacky Cake or Crazy Cake. You can frost it with a Chocolate Water Glaze using bittersweet chocolate or with a glaze/icing of Dutched cocoa, confectioner's sugar, boiling water, and a little vanilla extract.

How about a fruit crisp? Use shortening instead of butter for the streusel topping. I did this for a friend who is allergic to dairy and soy and she really liked it. You could serve it with cool whip. I try to make a special dessert for this friend when she comes over and it really challenges my creativity, since I'm a real butter fiend.

Last time she was over I made a mango sorbet. It was excellent. You could serve that with a crisp cookie of some sort, like a spiced shortbread made with shortening. Using spices partially makes up for the lack of butter flavor and it would add an extra texture dimension with the crispness. Good luck!

Chef Sato's Chocolate Raspberry cake meets your criteria and is festive and delicious. The recipe calls for soy milk but I strongly suspect you could substitute rice milk or almond milk. It's too long to list the entire recipe here, but if you like I can fax it to you. Just let me know via PM.

I know it may look like this cake would just make a chocolate flavored hockey puck, most variations produce a very moist cake with great texture. Make sure you use enough cocoa and maybe boost the flavor with a bit of espresso powder. It keeps very well and the flavor is actually better the second day.

Yup, these cakes are pretty tasty. We used to make and sell them in a college coffee house in the mid 70's. The carob version was even okay. A german chocolate type frosting is nice too. Can those be done without butter?

This may be completely not what you're looking for - but what about something like an ice cream cake - using fruit sorbet instead. You could make a crust, or layers using almonds/hazelnuts or a cookie base (kosher for Passover parve margarine is dairy/soy free) and make some sorbet with fresh fruit.

Good luck!

for a birthday cake I second the War-era cake reccomendation. It's great!

For more general snacks I make Eggless Ginger Cookies or Eggless Oatmeal cookies. you can either use a soy-free crisco like product or shell out the bucks for goat butter if that's an option (Meyerburg? makes one that's pricey, but not at all goaty)

I know it seems daunting at first glance to avoid all those, but it's not that hard - there are a ton of online resources these days to help - and your friends with allergies will really appreciate the effort!

Do you suffer from Acute Culinary Syndrome? Maybe it's time to get help...

i guess i should mention that the bday party is for a 3 yr old... so i suspect getting her to eat a sesame cake may be difficult! :) the crisp sounds good, the sorbet with the eggless ginger cookies also sounds interesting especially during the heat of the summer.

shortening can be a tricky thing as most are soy-based. the nut milk may be a viable alternative... may have to check on allergies to that.

thanks... i'll let you know what happens.

Spectrum and Earth Balance non-hydrogenated shortenings are made of palm oil, I think. Not soy, anyway.

Spectrum is palm oil only. Earth Balance is a combination of oils and includes soy on their ingredient list.
