Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Cottage Cheese Dip

Smooth and creamy herbed dip is a stand-by at many a holiday picnic. I've developed a recipe that gives all the deliciousness of sour cream dip with significantly less calories and fat. This obviously is a recipe with dairy so I apologize in advance to those of you who cannot use it. And to those of you who can, you're gonna love it!
Ingredients
2 cups organic cottage cheese (16 oz)
1/8 cup of milk of choice (if using almond or coconut make sure it is unsweetened)
1 t dried dill
1 t onion powder
1 t celery salt

Directions
Blend all ingredients in blender. If the dip is too thick, add a little bit more milk and blend until smooth. Serve immediately or chill until serving.
