pickle - my allergic-to-milk son loves lentils & rice! Lentils - not lentil soup - lentils cooked with sauteed onion & garlic, mixed with tomato paste (or canned tomatoes) and cumin. (You could use a lentil soup recipe - just add much less water.)

Before fast I'm gonna do a barley vegetable soup, whole grain bread, baked salmon or breaded flounder.

For suppers I am really stuck, since no one in my family me included likes cheese

it seems to me not really in the spirit of the 9 days to be serving extra expensive gourmet dairy foods (eg penne a la vodka, made with parmesan, cream and vodka)

I make plenty of non meat meals during the year and during the 9 days too: mac and cheese, salmon, breaded and baked or fried cod or other white fish, lentil shepherds pie, pasta with marinara sauce and cheese, lasagna, quiche, frittata, pizza, veggie schnitzle.

I haven't seen Ken's in a long time. That was a good dressing. I didn't think they made it anymore.

I have a bottle of Ken's honey mustard dressing in my refrigerator and it is not very old.

I have the lite too, but I am assuming they still make all of it.
