More Cooking Experiments

I have been craving a good bowl of soup.  Combined with a new-found sugar-free Italian sausage that we love, I decided to make Zuppa Toscana.  Using a bit of coconut milk makes it creamy, but also dairy free.  I think it rivals Olive Garden and definitely has hit the spot.

Another recent success was dairy-free cheese sauce.  It is nut-based and had a remarkable creamy, cheesy flavor.  We used it one night on smashed potato nachos and later in the week in a potato lasagna. 

Just a few of the more unique options of late that keep us away from sugar, dairy, and gluten.  We still take breaks and indulge in food that contain these, but now prefer the convenience and yummy (addictive) sweetness only occasionally.
