Dairy-free

After relying on cow dairy products all my life, I now have to give it up.  It seems I have developed an allergy to it.  I can and will come accustom to soy, rice, and almond milk.  I will learn what taste better in desserts and what doesn't.  My biggest problem will be butter.  Not only do I prefer the taste over margarine, but I like to make my own.  Butter is "pure" without chemicals.  Margarine is chemicals and oils made in a prefab mold that is some how suppose to be equal to butter.  blah!  I do know there are many more alternatives out there then there use to be years ago that are more pleasing to the pallet.  Yet I fear the taste of butter on a warm bagel or toast is a distant memory for me. Hopefully I can find something that is made of natural ingredients that taste decent.

On a positive note, by omitting dairy from my life will force me to avoid many tempting treats that I should avoid anyway.
