Being dairy free is sooo hard for cooking. If anyone has experience with it please message me i have…

What do you cook that has dairy in it?

There are some great dairy free products out there I found a cheese and honestly my husband and son didn't know the difference also look on the internet that's what my mom did for me growing up because I was dairy and gluten free also if you have a whole food or sprouts or any health foods store definitely check them out they have a lot more options and just look for labels that says dairy free or vegan and you can add meat to the item if need be but I know Whole Foods had cookies corn bread mac and cheese all sorts of stuff because they were endorsing the 365 diet when I was there

Thank you! @mommysbabies, what brand is the cheese? My son loves cheese and I heard dairy free cheese is terrible. I will have to look at those stores for sure

This is at meijers i dont know if one is close to you

It looks like a lot of work but you can make a big thing of it and portion it out and freeze some http://veganyumminess.com/creamy-vegan-mac-and-cheese/

I was vegan for a bit! I made all my usual recipes and just used dairy/meat substitutes. If something needed milk I would use almond milk (unsweetened for dinners, vanilla for baking). They make vegan butter, which is actually so much better than normal butter. I still buy it and nobody can tell the difference 😂😂 Personally, I couldn't find a good non-dairy cheese that I liked. And I tried them ALL. I made cashew cheese once, and it was pretty good, but it took forever to make 😩 Honestly, if you can find the non-dairy substitutes that you like for your recipes, then you'll be able to make anything you were able to before!

Thank you @mommysbabies, do you use almond milk in cooking at all?

I have not personally I use lactose free milk at the moment but I'm thinking about switching our milk to soy which I have used before just make sure if you do used it for every day cooking it's unsweetened and unflavored

Patrick can't even have lactose free milk 😔 @mommysbabies, but thank you I appreciate your help I'm gonna go shopping today!

No problem good luck
