The Market is saturated with products labeled “dairy free.” We are often left as hosts with the question…”I know this works but, is it good?”. Recently, we developed a post of what we believe are the essentials when hosting a dairy free guest, the bread and “butter” if you will. That leaves us wondering though, what about the products that will help them celebrate? The ones that make it a little extra special for them. As a host you have the ability to welcome guests to your table based on what you provide or…dont. We know that accommodating special dietary needs can be stress-inducing. So, hear it from your guests! No need to ask, we asked for you…this is what they want!

We are very excited to share these suggestions with you, because know our community has incredible taste.

This list will continue to be updated as time goes on.
