Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten Free! Cream of the Crop: Dairy-Free Delights

Update: deadline extended, click here for details!

Welcome to this month’s Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten Free! For this month’s theme, it is Cream of the Crop: Dairy-Free Delights, which I am happily hosting. Dairy is animal-milk based (usually cow or goat) products or derivatives. Dairy includes milk, cream, butter, buttermilk, and cheeses. There are many alternatives for dairy products, some of which are quite creative, such as using avocado instead of cream (something I have yet to try). Sometimes these substitutions may not always yield the same results but they’re often much healthier than their dairy counterparts, sometimes even tasting better, too!
