I have a brand new sponsor for this week’s pod that I’m SO excited to share with you—Califia Farms. While they’re new to the pod, they’re not actually new to my life—I’ve been using Califia for years, and actually call them out as a brand I love in my cookbook. And now they’re part of the podcast fam, so welcome Califia! I’m a huge fan of all of Califia’s non-dairy products, but I especially love their non-dairy creamer (the one in the carton). I’m a huge fan of making caffeine-free lattes, with super weird flavors like Birthday Cake, Carrot Cake, and Churros, and I love using the Califia almondmilk creamer as the base for that, since it makes it super creamy and delicious. It’s also of course great in coffee or tea!
