Hi again Shelby,

I'm glad you found Rice Dream beverage to be even more pleasant than the soy. I'll bet you really DID get bug eyed when you found out so many things had soy in them. Can you just imagine the poor people who have severe allergic reactions to soy? Those are the ones I feel truely sorry for. You may have to get your HFS to order the Rice Dream Ice cream. A lot of stores are hesitant because they have a minimum number of one item they have to order. You may ask about that, and if you agree to take so many they may be willing to order it for you. I just had to do that with sorghum flour since I eat GF. The store HAD to order 4, and I agreed to take 2 right off the bat and even pre-pay if she wanted. It always pays to get REAL friendly with the HFS owner...........they'll do things for you they'd not do for anyone else.

As far as subs for cheese and butter........well, I suggest you try a little rice cheese. You may not find it that bad. For butter I just sub with Pam cooking spray (say when I want something to stick to a rice cake or piece of toast) or sub oil instead, in recipes.

As far as pizza goes...........try making your own......you'd be surprised how good a nice tender thick crust is with tons of fresh veggies and a good sauce. You won't even miss the cheese. Wish there was a rice Parmesan sub to sprinkle on top but I haven't found one yet. If I do, I'll let you know.

BTW, don't be afraid of using almond milk as well......it has a great taste. Oat milk has that yucky color but it thickens up in cooking where the others won't. I happen to like Pacific brands of rice, oat and almond beverages the best.

Good luck to you..."normal" is comming.................(I hope

)

Kandee
