It has been really hard being on the dairy/soy free diet, but it's definitely worth it. I never realized how many foods actually have dairy proteins and soy in them. I can't eat normal bread or really any processed food. I am so glad that we have a Whole Foods near by. I found dairy/soy free butter, which actually is pretty good. I tried rice cheese, which wasn't very good-LOL. However, we did find some shredded vegan cheese that actually tastes like cheese---yay!! I found dark chocolate that is delicious! Also, we tried coconut milk mocha almond fudge ice cream, and I think it's better than regular ice cream. I made some peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chip cookies yesterday that were yummy. You use apple sauce and canola oil instead of butter, and get special chocolate chips. Here is a picture:
I also found a coconut milk coffee creamer. It's not the best, but will work. We are still working on dinners. We usually just have meat, rice, and veggies. A lot of sauces have soy in them, but we are making it work.

We have a check-up on Thursday at the doctor.
Coconut milk icecream is very yummy!!! Why do you have to be on this diet?! I missed that part~ because you're BF-ing?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am BF-ing and Emma was having a reaction to dairy. My ped told me to cut out both dairy and soy for a couple of months.
ReplyDeleteHey have you tried almond milk???? It is SO good. They have vanilla and almond breeze. The almond breeze you can use in cereal. It is plain enough! I was just thinking of you when we bought it this weekend!
ReplyDeletePS- the best brand is blue diamond!
