Dairy Free Cream Cheese Icing

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

One of my kiddos who loves Red Velvet Cake recently requested one for her birthday. We had to make it dairy-free… it was a little work but we succeeded. I used a boxed cake which said it was dairy-free.

I’ll try to update this with a printable recipe card later but you can print out the cream cheese icing recipe and write in the changes.

Planning ahead with Cozi, a birthday in the house, and a house update

How are y’all doing?

I’ve started feeling a tad bit better this week… not having constant nausea like I previously had although it still hits and still knocks me down from time to time. I have managed to make all of our ‘normal’ breakfasts for the week… yay! The kids were happy to have French Toast and Pancakes again. I had cheated and bought quite a bit of cereal over the past few weeks… they like cereal but they missed their hot meals.

I had used up all of my freezer meals and was forced to cook this week… dinner was not always on the table at the usual time but it did get made. Sometimes dinner didn’t quite make sense as I was just pulling things out of the cabinets in the order I found them… lol.
