Footloose and Fancy (Dairy) – Free
I think the Saldanhas are going to go dairy-free.
That’s right.
Cheese – out.
Milk on my Corn Chex – nope.
Yogurt in my smoothie – done.
But our little experiment will all be worth it once Little Miss doesn’t cry and cry and cry when she’s awake. Plus, she’s got a little bit of a rash on her arms and legs. Milk-induced excema? Perhaps.
Dairy may be one of my favorite things, next to perfume and springtime, so giving it up will be hard. Just because I have it in EVERYTHING. But totally worth it though. I will do anything for Miss Lady.
So Chris went to the store today and bought us some soy yogurt (verdict = ehhh…), vegan butter (verdict = can’t tell a difference. awesome), and vanilla almond milk (verdict = oh. my. yum. Like seriously, a glass of this will start to be our sweet bite after dinner! Creamy, sweet, delicious. Downside is that it’s just a wrong shade of grey. Gonna have to get used to that. I grabbed a couple of oreos and a glass of almond milk and the milk was almost TOO sweet to accompany oreos! What a BEVERAGE!!!)
Check back with us in a week or so. We may be feeling so good, we may never go back to regular dairy. Even if dairy ISN’T what’s hurting Babe’s tum.
Oh, and yes. Christopher is going dairy-free as well. He doesn’t need to, but he’s doing it as an act of solidarity. What a wonderful man. Sigh.
If anyone out there reads this and has gone dairy free and has some suggestions of awesome things we could try to make this transition easier, please let us know!
Aaaand…here’s Little Miss. Doesn’t she just make the world a brighter place?
