The Non-Dairy Life....

So it's been about 6 weeks now since we figured out that Emmie has a milk (and possibly soy) allergy so therefor I've been off of dairy. It's a rough life. I can not believe how many things have milk/soy protein in it...but I have to tell you it's worth it not to be up with a screaming infant all night long. I've discovered the wonders of almond milk. I like using almond milk to cook with now - it gives everything a sweet vanilla-y taste - try it - you'll be surprised at how good it is! The one up side to this whole non-dairy thing (besides Emmie's new found happiness) is that I've lost a little weight....I guess it's a no brainer when you can't eat ice cream, butter, cheese, cookies...etc...
