The first day being cheese-free was not difficult. Having just returned from vacation, there was no food in the house and it wasn’t much of a step to not buy cheese when I went grocery shopping. To pre-empt what I’ve heard can be very intense cheese cravings (think Trainspotting but in the kitchen, not the bathroom), I bought fresh salsa for my chips and made a bean dip that is creamy and delicious. I mixed:<\/p>\n
1 can white kidney beans, drained
\nhalf an onion, chopped
\nseveral cloves of garlic
\n2 hot chili peppers
\nlime juice
\ndill, cayenne, salt
\nfresh cilantro<\/p>\n
then blend them with whatever means you happen to own. I own a hand blender. It worked fine.<\/p>\n
