Soy-free Product And Ingredient Recommendations Please.

[missy'smom]

I'm researching soy-free(and all nut free)for my kiddo but I'm CF and am having a hard time figuring out how to do both unless I make separate stuff for us. What do you make/use to make for baking? I know Enjoylife choc. chips and Spectrum shortening are CF and SF but Earthbalance is a no-no. I already make plenty of fruit based snacks so would like other types of stuff. I know Namaste mixes are CF SF.

I don't suppose there is any soy-free soy sauce?

I don't know of any prepared soy free soy sauces. Somebody gave me this recipe, but I haven't tried it.

Soy Sauce Substitute

1 1/2 cups boiling water

3 tbsp. beef bouillon

pinch pepper

1 tbsp. dark molasses

4 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. cider vinegar

2 tbsp. sesame seed oil

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stirring to blend

thoroughly. Pour into a clean jar. Cover and seal tightly.

Keep refrigerated. Shake well before using.

Yield: 2 cups

Tagging along on your topic here, I hope you don't mind, missy'smom.

I am interested in gluten-free and soy-free protein bar-type snacks to take in the car when we are in the U.S. I hear people talking about Lara bars all the time but would guess they probably have soy, as most do. Do any of you soy-intolerant-also folks have any recommendations for me? Something I could substitute for eating out?

Thanks for any help.

Lara Bars are gluten free and soy free! Some flavors taste better than others though.. you have to experiment with them all.

I am dairy and soy free and we don't have a problem in our house. My husband has no food issues whatsoever and loves the way we make our food. I cook everything gluten, dairy and soy free and we add stuff to his food once it's plated. So if we have pasta he'll add parmesean or if it's stir fry he'll add soy sauce. All of the condiments (soy sauce, ketchup, dressings, hot sauce, etc.) in the house are gluten-free so I don't have to worry about gluten CC when he uses them. Many of them have soy though so they are off limits for me.

BTW, I use a similar soy sauce substitute. Also, I use olive oil and Mother's margarine ( the gluten, dairy, soy and corn free one you can get only for passover). I believe there is a brand of Fleishman's margarine that is gluten-free, DF, SF that you can buy all year. For mixes and such, I recommend Namaste, Enjoy Life, and Cause you're Special.

I don't do nuts either so Lara Bars are off limits for me.
