[Carmella]

Whether for health reasons or by choice, some of us prefer to reduce our nut intake. Got any favorite nut-free recipes? Please share them here!

Russell James' lasagna - use chopped portobellos in the place of the walnut "meat"

Crunchy Tacos

"Spaghetti" and basil or tomato sauce

To name a few... think they're all posted here somewherez... I've also made the raw "deviled eggpls" spread with avos instead of cashews. =)

Hey Beckla!! Thank you!! woo-hoo!! Smart lady

Carmella, we should re-name the thread to Beckla's Nutty over Nutless recipes... what you think huh huh huh??

[Carmella]

Hey, how about these:

- FG's delicious Pasta Primavera
- Cherie Soria's Mushroom Stroganoff - I know it calls for almond milk but to me, milk isn't so bad. Or perhaps you could sub it with something else?
- My Spinach Mini-Quiches - The Velvet filling is nut-free. Don't have to be enjoyed as a quiche either; it's also really good as a spread.

Also, here's a thread with a bunch of nutless/oil free dressings
