It was Independence Day and we were enjoying a cookout with the family. My children love potato chips, but I rarely buy them. Since I usually reserve cheat times for holidays and Saturday nights; I thought it would be fun to have some chips and dip. I was enjoying some Wavy Chips, watching the family dig into the dip and really wishing that I did not have an allergy to cow's milk dairy. It's not lactose intolerance, but the kind of allergy that leaves fire-burning eczema on the soft areas of my arms and neck for weeks.
All of a sudden it occurred to me that I might be able to enjoy some dip, if I had the right ingredients on hand. I have always thought that plain, goat milk yogurt tastes somewhat like sour cream. In an act of desperation, I quickly mixed together a few scoops of yogurt and some dry soup mix. It was really good, and somewhat difficult to tell the difference from real sour cream. This little experiment made my day and helped me grow one step closer to independence from cow's milk dairy. How fitting!
