alfredo sauce?


i was thrilled (to say the least) when i found a mix for alfredo sauce from Fred Meyer that i could have...gluten free, dairy free, soy free. i haven't had alfredo in geez, i can't even remember how long. i've always been a little scared to try gluten free, dairy free alfredo sauce...doesn't it scare you? well this new brand looked pretty legit so i decided to try it and called Derek on the way home cause i was so excited!

the first thing i noticed when i added the extra ingredients to the dry mix was that the sauce was green? ok. i've seen some weird colors in my day but this color resembled a diaper, not food. i also assumed that the sauce would be the consistency of sauce...weird i know...but as i stirred the sauce didn't become saucy, ever? needless to say...we did not use this sauce - and when i tried to clean the pan, it wouldn't come out...i even turned the pan upside down and shook it and, nothing. what are they trying to do, kill me? sooo, you tell me...green refried beans or alfredo sauce?

So you're telling me that a sauce that's staple ingredients are butter, cream, and cheese is disgusting when made to be dairy free? Weird. :D (love you!)Obviously, I know nothing about dairy-free, gluten-free cooking, but do you think you could make it according to a regular recipe, but just substitute all soy/rice stuff for the dairy? Sorry your mix didn't work out though. That's always disappointing.

This is sad!
I hope you find a better replacement soon because gluten free, dairy free and, what, soy free[?] sounds a bit hard to come by.
Did you try Co-op?
Better luck next time, deary!

[oh, and thought you thought know my code for below is BEANO!]
