Since going dairy free I have tested the waters and tried dairy only to have my skin break out severely as a result. So, am starting to adapt recipes that have similiar flavor -- they will not have the "rich" flavor that so many are used to based on the fact that they do not have the milk fat from the dairy products. However, they are flavorful and good. Lower in fat also has a benefit of lower calories as well. Better nutrition if you ask my opinion, but this is only as such. My opinion.

Have a great day!
