JenneinCA Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Tomorrow is Pi Day. For those not interested in math, Pi is written as 3.14 which could also be March 14. I want to do a pi dinner. We are going to have pie for dessert and I am trying to decide between pot pie and pizza pie or something else for dinner. The issue is I am lactose intolerant and can't do either the creamy sauce for the pot pie or the mozzarella cheese on the pizza. So, does anyone have ideas for pi dinner that do not involve lots of milk products. (I can take my lactaid tablets and make one of the ideas above but I would rather have food my body would actually like to have.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 How about a cheese-free pizza pie? Just load it up with veggies or whatever you like, and skip the cheese on yours. You could even let each person in the family make their own individual pie, that way you all get what you want on yours. Oh, and these Pie in a Jar are fun, if you happen to have the right kind of jar laying around. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 We're in the same boat only I have to avoid dairy completely due to nursing DD's allergy. I have a math lover in the family so I'd like to find a way to celebrate too. I make chicken pesto pizza without the cheese. Or maybe you could try homemade chicken pot pie with dairy substitutes. This is my favorite pot pie recipe, though I haven't tried making it with dairy free substitutes yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I just take the tablets on special days. Some suggestions: shepherd's pie, quiche, large calzones w/sausage, onions, bell peppers inside, no cheese in yours, meatball calzones (make them large and round and cut into wedges) oh, I'm just not creative today. Too tired. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 My pot pie has no dairy in the filling -- just chicken gravy. I top mine with mashed potato to keep it wheat free, and I usually do have dairy in the potatoes, but that isn't a requirement. You could also do shepherd's pie in a round casserole or pie plate.

MariannNOVA Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 My vote is for Shepherd's Pie -- I received some fabulous recipes from the wonderful ladies on this board a couple of weeks ago and that was one of them. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, oven died last night - cooktop works, oven doesn't. Two weeks till new one arrives -- I will need to be creative for Pi day!

2cents Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Tomorrow would be a great day to make Bakerella's Pie Pops!! http://www.bakerella.com/easy-as-pie/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Spagetti pie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenneinCA Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 ooooh! Those pie pops look super cool. I think we may try them soon. We are going to go with Build Your Own Pizza Pie and a Marion Berry Pie. I got the ingredients at the store when I went grocery shopping. I would love to do shepard's pie but my husband had it too many times for hot lunch in elementary school and can't even think about it to this day. The spaghetti pie idea is cool too. I wonder if I can find another good occasion for a special dinner soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
