For whatever reason, gluten free food is not and has never been that scary to me. Dairy free food on the other hand, is a different story. So, when it came to cooking, I mostly avoided vegan options. I just couldn't imagine that anything that has to do with milk can be manufactured, or at least manufactured well, anyway. However, at an event I was hosting, I needed a dip for fruit and I came across this recipe that looked yummy, so into the health food store I went. As I approached the vegan aisle, I had visions of myself turning and running away, throwing my groceries and pushing people out of the way to get out of the store. But alas, I needed the sour cream so I pushed through my anxiety and purchased the product. I gave little consideration to which brand I should choose and just selected quickly before I changed my mind.
Fortunately, the brand I chose, Tofutti's, turned out to be a raving success in the dip. I served it to people at the event without telling them it was vegan and no one even knew the difference!

I have since used the sour cream on other things like tacos, fajitas, and as chip dip. It's become a staple in my kitchen and I'm happy to report that I am now over my fear of vegan food! Enjoy!
