Fall is here and that means back-to-school, colorful leaves, holidays, and…FOOTBALL! Watching grown men in tights tackle each other on the field is one of the greatest American pass times. The other is eating and we love to do these in tandem. Traditional game day fare is tempting, mouth-watering, and typically dairy-laden. This is a big problem for those of us on the non-dairy path but solutions abound.
Many traditional game day recipes like sour cream-based dips and cheesy snacks can be converted to dairy (and even gluten free) easily and still other tasty treats, like roasted nuts or raw veggies and hummus, are naturally non-dairy. If you are attending a viewing party at a friend’s house, honesty is the best policy. Let your host know about your dietary restrictions, ask which foods are friendly, and offer to bring a dish or two.
If you are hosting, score a touchdown with your guests by serving some dairy-free versions of your favorite snacks. You don’t even have to tell them. In this case, what they don’t know definitely won’t hurt them. In fact, you’ll be doing everyone a favor. Many of these alternatives have less fat and calories than their dairy-laden counterparts. Happy snacking!
