When we found out my son had a dairy allergy, this mom found it her mission to find good whole foods that we could add and replace the dairy with .
Our family was already used to eating a more healthy and wholesome diet , so as overwhelming as it is to eliminate cheese, whole milk and creamy goodness, it wasn’t really as hard as we thought and our home is still full of all that tasty goodness and dairy free.
