Cheese, I will miss you.

I’m going dairy-free. At least I’m trying. This will be my first day. I’ve already given up regular milk by using almond milk, but cheese will be my problem. I love cheese. Pizza is one of my favorites. I have a couple of great recipes for pizza crust that is gluten-free and I love a lot of cheese on top. Any suggestions for a replacement or workaround that leaves it out? 

I also like to put a bit of evaporated milk in my oatmeal. I’m sure I can find a replacement for it, but I’m not eating oatmeal just now since I’m on a diet plan that includes a protein shake for breakfast. Maybe an almond milk alternative. 

I also eat a lot of yogurt. Vanilla honey Greek yogurt is my favorite. I’ll probably replace it with chia pudding, which I love too. I can’t get the grandkids to eat it. I’ve found that some cinnamon and vanilla liquid stevia makes it just right. 

Are you dairy-free? What are your favorite hacks?

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful. I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items. Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle. View all posts by denise
