Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slice some eggplant thing. Place some tomato sauce on top. Instead of cheese put on some hummas(I highly suggest making your own, it is easy and you can make it more to your taste.) Bake in an oven until it is done, you now have a none cheese eggplant parm.
Also try goat cheese, it is more expensive but for lactose intolerance people it is fine and it really taste good.
So next time make a pizza with goat cheese, tomatoes, and basil.
Mmmh I think I am going have some goat cheese and crackers now.

Does goat cheese actually have flavor? I remember having to drink goat milk... and could hardly swallow the stuff.. ha ha... and how long does goat cheese stay good to use?

It's actually VERY easy to come up with recipes that don't involve dairy ingredients. Start by looking at Jewish recipe sites. Jews who keep kosher have three separate categories of foods. There's meat (anything involving meat or meat byproducts, such as broth); dairy (anything involving dairy ingredients or byproducts, including casein and whey); and parve (anything that involves neither meat nor dairy. Just pick recipes that say Meat or Parve, because meat recipes aren't allowed to contain any dairy products or byproducts (and vice versa, but that's not important), and parve means that there's no dairy or meat (grains, vegetables, fish, eggs, fruits).

Also, look for canned or boxed goods that have a symbol for a kashrut supervision agency, that either don't have a D or DE (both of which stand for dairy), or that do have a Meat designation on them.

I recently had to accept that I'm lactose intolerant for I've been experimenting with what I can successfully replace milk with
