Tips of the Cow-free trade

• Coffee:  If you have as finicky a baby as I do, you may not even be able to drink decaf coffee regularly.  I seem to be able to get away with 1-2 times a week -if I spread it out.  Another option, especially if the place doesn't have decaf coffee, is to order a decaf Cafe Americana, which is espresso and water (with a shot of flavoring if you're feeling sassy) and then add your own Mocha Mix or So Coconut milk creamer to it. 

• When traveling, bring along a travel coffee mug and either bring your Mocha Mix in a cooler or buy it when you get there.  Then you can pour some in your little travel mug and bring it with you to restaurants or Starbucks to add your own non-dairy creamer to your coffee or Americana. (You can also start slurring your words at breakfast to give the waitress a good laugh since you know they are wondering what you are spiking your coffee/tea with).

• Don't be afraid to ask if something has dairy and remind people that butter is dairy.

• You can have most mayonnaise.  

• Most fast food does not have butter-it is too expensive and they are too cheap.
