if you live in an area with Chik Fil A's they're great about dairy free cooking ― altho nuggets in the kids meal have dairy in them, they'll substitute grilled chicken strips instead if asked (even tho not on the menu). beware, tho, that they use peanut oil....marla

I am unfamiliar with the "Willow Run" margarine but my favorite is "Earth 
Balance" from the Whole Foods health food store. We also like the Tofutti 
ice cream novelties. I recommend purchasing the book "The Milk Free 
Kitchen" by Beth Kidder which has been a great resource for everything from 
cakes and cookies to pancakes and main dishes. My son (age 8) has been 
dairy free for about two months now. We have gotten things pretty much 
under control at home but still have problems when eating out on the 
weekends (why does McDonald's put whey in their chicken nuggets?). It is 
very hard to explain to him why he now has to have a hamburger instead of 
his favorite chicken nuggets. I find that Brian's dairy infractions affect 
him for about 4 days (bowel problems, night waking, behavior issues, rash on 
his rear) so I am determined to keep him dairy free. 

Good Luck
