At Go Dairy Free, I repeatedly hear "I can't find those specialty foods in my area!" To which I quickly respond, "Get online!" (with a smiley face attached of course). There is still this fear about ordering food online that I just don't get. I regularly order ingredients via the Internet as they are often cheaper, and are usually delivered right to my door for free.

That said, I am always excited when a new kid pops up on the block in terms of retailers, and the latest is no exception. A lactose intolerant fellow named Jeff contacted me over a year ago, with an inquiring mind about the dairy-free industry. Jeff persisted with his research, and at long last he has officially launched Dairy Free Market, an online store providing lots of wonderful special diet goodies, from dairy alternatives to cookies and chocolate.

To give you a sampling of Dairy Free Market's offerings, I worked with Jeff to compile a giant gift basket of goodies for you to win! He will ship it straight to the winner's door with care, and trust me, you don't need to be dairy-free to enjoy these treasures! What's inside you ask? One package of EACH of the following:

Approximately five years ago, when I founded Go Dairy Free, the blogging world had yet to take off. But I quickly discovered one comrad out in the field, Sarah of No Whey, Mama. It was hard not to fall in love with her mom-friendly (aka, quick and easy) and kid-friendly (aka, really yummy) recipes, but beyond the food, she quickly evolved into a very good, dairy-free friend. Sarah has since served as a recipe tester and editor for the book, Go Dairy Free, and is a regular reviewer and editor for this website. But I just realized the other day, I haven't featured any of her wonderful recipes in quite some time.

Well past due for a No Whey, Mama feature, I thought two of her fantastic, oat-based, dessert recipes would surely be well received. Not to mention, warm apple crisp and hearty oatmeal cookies seem quite seasonal, don't you think? Enjoy ...

Since my last Dutch Baby venture was such a dee-licious success, I set out to create a savory version the other day. But, I couldn't stop with that one challenge alone. Oh no, silly me decided to go for the gusto and make it grain-free too! Luckily it worked out okay, but I used ground almonds, and was surprised at how bready the first trial turned out. It was good, but somehow the texture didn't really go with the flavor. So in round two, I switched to cashews, using half the amount, and a star was born!

However, this new concoction wasn't really a Dutch Baby anymore. Determined to find a name, I went online to read about the various types of egg dishes (yes, I do waste too much time on completely useless activities once in a while). The most comparable dish I could find was a quiche, but since this recipe contains no cheese, cream, or dairy of any kind, it seemed like a bit of a stretch. I mean, a healthy quiche?

I have never really had a quiche, so I turned to my husband for his taste-testing expertise. He said, "It's kind of like a quiche, but different. It's good though!" And thus, the Smoked Salmon Crustless (Sort of) Quiche was born ... View the Recipe on One Frugal Foodie.

With thousands of new moms returning to the workforce each day, the demand for convenient toddler food is on the rise, but what mom wants to sacrifice their growing child's nutrition in the name of quick and easy? Luckily, Peas of Mind popped into the scene a few years ago to address this issue with their hand-crafted Puffets (two varieties are dairy-free), homemade frozen meals that little ones can easily hold and devour.

Unable to stop coming up with ideas, Jill Litwin, the company's founder, has now developed and released Veggie Wedgies to accompany their original product line of Puffets. Veggie Wedgies are baked, crispy french fries made from real vegetables. They come in four different flavors, which include Baked Broccoli, Baked Carrot, Baked Cauliflower and Baked Apple. According to Lutwin, Veggie Wedgies are vegan, gluten-free, fat free, and completely allergen-free and they make a great snack or side dish for the whole family.

My husband and I are smoothie fanatics. It is a delicious and dare I say indulgent way to inject healthy fruits, vegetables, and a dose of protein into your diet. So when Kristin O'Connor of Nourish This sent in her "Wild Smoothie" to share on Go Dairy Free, I jumped at the recipe.

Kristin said, "With berries, spinach, protein powder and flaxseed, the Wild Smoothie has important nutrients that growing bodies need. It's a great recipe to get kids involved with, and it's tasty!" She isn't kidding either. Kristin shows us just how kid-friendly this recipe is in a demo video on Healthy Child. So read on for the recipe, and head over to Healthy Child for her helpful how-to video ...
