I'm a working mom with 9 years experience raising a celiac kid. I have to eat dairy and gluten free, but my daughter only has to eat GF. I'm by no means an expert, but I'm happy to share a few of my cooking tips, school lunchbox ideas, and recipes with you. I'll be posting something new once a month.

Dairy-free and Gluten-free Coleslaw Recipe

I love cole slaw with fried chicken or hot wings, and it's relatively easy to make, even gluten-free and dairy-free. Here's what it takes:

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 head green cabbage, minced
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 celery stalk, minced
2 tablespoons minced green pepper
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup soymilk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to make "buttermilk")
1 capful of apple cider vinegar
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice (to taste)
1 teaspoon celery salt

Take the first four ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. Then put all other ingredients in a seperate bowl and mix them together to form the dressing. Finally, combine the vegetables with the dressing and chill for at least an hour. I find it's tastiest the next day though, because it allows the dressing to really seep into the veggies. YUM!
