Dairy
Milk or any food containing a milk derivative - even in the smallest amount - is considered "dairy" (chalavi in Hebrew, milchig in Yiddish) by Jewish Dietary Laws. A dairy product can be certified as kosher if the milk and cheeses 1) come from a kosher animal, 2) contain no non-kosher substances, and 3) contain no meat substances.
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
I love roasted vegetables, and I love lasagna. So I figured a lasagna made with roasted vegetables would be a sure-fire hit. And I was right. In addition to being healthy and delicious, this recipe is fun because it varies every time you make it depending on the vegetables included.

Cheese Blintzes (Dairy)
Blintz, which means "pancake" in Ukrainian, is a classic Ashkenazic Jewish food that probably originated in Poland. Blintzes are thin crepe-like pancakes folded around a filling. Cheese blintzes are traditionally served for Shavuot. In this recipe, donated by my mother Chana Shimoni, the blintzes are so delicious that there is no need to fry them after they are filled.

Corn Casserole (Dairy)
This dairy Corn Casserole, which an Israeli friend introduced to me, is delicious. Corn, mushrooms and hard-boiled are mixed with a cream sauce that has a touch of mustard in it. For a lighter version of the casserole, use less cheese and bread crumbs on top.

Crustless Quiche (Dairy)
This is the easiest quiche in the world but it doesn't compromise on the flavor. I serve it every Shavuot as well as after fast days. The recipe I have given here is for mushroom quiche, but you can just as easily make zucchini quiche or tuna quiche by merely replacing the mushrooms with either one.

Muller also provides a wheat-free alternative that uses brown rice flour and oat flour.
