I know it's expensive, but Whole Foods is the exclusive carrier of Kite Hill Almond milk cream cheese; they have a soft white and a ravioli too. Real tasty for a non dairy cheese... I stay away from Daiya cheeses because it tastes like garbage to me (it does melt well though); coconut milk yogurt works well (I avoid Soy because of my own allergies, but I have a dcd that is also allergic to soy stuff). When it comes to a butter spread I use Earth Balance - soy & dairy free. Eggs you can use neat eggs or Ener-G; Tofu blocks can be used for a vegan egg salad, but I won't do that... silken Tofu works well to make pumpkin pie ( did this years ago as my brother is vegan)
You can sub applesauce or banana in some baked recipes.
Let me think on my crock pot recipes; I do a lot of vegetarian Ethnic meals so maybe look up other countries menus lol
