you can also use the alternative "milks" such as almond, rice or the boxed coconut milks ( not the tins) rather than the milk if you might haven any allergic or lactose intolerant folks eating this. i do this whenever i'm cooking for potlucks etc. now. i have food allergies and am gluten intolerant so i know how hard it can be to eat at church fellowship meals. there are several others in our congregation with the Celiacs (gluten) issues and it is so nice to be able to eat without my tummy hurting. Better than funeral fellowship, i attended last weekend at another church where everything on the table would have made my tummy hurt.
