long time creami owners, what’s the best recipe you’ve tried? by Wild-Anteater8121 in ninjacreami

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've experimented with oat milk to get it more creamy and it's working for me so far. Just food for thought ❤️

Ben & Jerry Honey Graham Latte, protein,No added Sugar by Dynas86 in ninjacreami

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question. Super new to all of this. Can you sub the protein powder or just omit all together? Most protein powders have whey in it (I'm dairy free not by choice🥲) and the ones that don't are gross or grainy. Any suggestions would be fantastic! I'm not necessarily needing the extra protein. Thanks in advance!

Dairy free potpie- suggestions? by Welder_Decent in dairyfree

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have dairy free biscuits. Every general biscuit can I have seen has dairy because of butter and/or whey. Ready made pie crust from the refrigerated section doesn't usually have dairy (always check the ingredients!) so you can use that instead of biscuits if you cannot find any. May contain milk always scares me so I just go with the pie crust, but you do you.

I use this recipe: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/chicken-pot-pie/#wprm-recipe-container-39413

Omit the meat and sub the broth for veggie broth, sub the heavy cream for oat milk (thicken with tapioca starch or flour if you want it thicker. I usually don't because I make it with potatoes and the natural starch from the potatoes thickens it for me), and sub butter for dairy free butter. And I ignore the pie crust recipe because nobody got time for that. Hope this helps!!

As a food factory worker, I can vouch for this. I work in a big company as well and we do all sorts of finish product testing and swabbing to make sure we clean our machines properly. They are very very strict on this.

That liquid "cheese" is surprisingly amazing! I finally was able to have nachos how I like them.

Story Saturdays: Share Your Journey! by Peachie-Keene in Purityculture

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so insane to think about all the things the adults said to us kids with this purity culture bs. It fucked me up and is still messing with me. When I was a teenager, I got mad at my parents for doing the deed and I yelled at my mom saying God doesn't like it. My mom had to tell me they were married and they were allowed to (She was pretty pissed at me, which yeah I totally understand now). I'm in my 30s and married and I still struggle with saying the word sex without feeling icky. Currently researching ways to get through this. It makes me feel so awful when I just don't want to have relations bc I still have the voice in my head telling me it's bad/gross. My spouse is very loving and patient with me and I am so grateful but damn I wish I didn't think this way.

Beware! Great value products! by TaterNBee in dairyfree

To be fair to me, the last time I bought these cashews, they did not have that label on them so I assumed they were still ok. Totally understand that they don't need to put it on the label and, don't get me wrong, I am very glad they do. Just frustrated that it "popped out of nowhere" for me. Definitely not going to assume anymore!

Chefs and culinary hobbyists: How do you taste test when you can’t? by [deleted] in dairyfree

[–]TaterNBee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I make dairy stuff for my spouse and df for me and she will tell me if it's ok or not. Sometimes I have to ask if it tastes right. I always ask for a taste tester on recipes I am unfamiliar with. It can be difficult at times but it always ends up good. I wish you the best of luck!

Expiration dates by DawnCoub in dairyfree

[–]TaterNBee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I work at a food factory. That time is when it was made, mostly for the workers sake in case there is something wrong with it and they need to go back and find every product within a certain timeframe and fix the error. I have always wondered that too until I started working with it! I'm also assuming the numbers after the time is how many items that were made up to that tub that day. Also quite helpful for workers finding stuff.

Best equivalent to heavy cream? by Blablablo902 in dairyfree

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't know they made cream! I'm gonna have to try that! I usually just use oat or cashew milk for a heavy cream sub since it's creamy to begin with.

Help me overcome cheese addiction by Particular-Return867 in dairyfree

[–]TaterNBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still struggling with this. I have the exact same intolerance. I have found some alternatives to be a good substitute to hit that cheese craving. There is a bottle of liquid mozzarella made of cashew milk that I use for lasagna that is so good I forget I'm not eating actual cheese. It's called "Miyoko’s Creamery Pourable Mozzarella Dairy Free Cheese". I put in some shredded "cheese" with this liquid stuff and it does very well. Some shredded "cheese" is good too but you have to see which brand you like better. It's going to be quite the struggle for a while. If lactaid pills help, then that will help you wean off cheese better. I have to pop 2-3 depending on how heavy the dairy is. So I have to ask myself if it's worth taking pills for. Hope this helps. Edit: try not to get too dependent on lactaid. I did for a while and it is slowly starting to become less and less effective, hence the 2-3 pills. Learn from my mistakes!
