What? No dairy? Or nuts? Or caffeine?

A die hard baker and overall lover of good food, I have been sideswiped by not being able to eat dairy or nuts or caffeine (including chocolate) while nursing my second child.  Since I can still eat eggs, some of my recipes are not vegan- but some of the tips and inspiration I received (after coming out of mourning) were from vegan websites -so a little internet search and reading is a great place to start.  Determined not to pout forever, I have adapted a few of my favorite recipes and found some great products that fool me into thinking I am still part of the yummy eating crowd.
