Hello, just came to your website when I was looking for girl scout cookie ingredients. I am alergic to corn products and am also trying to eat as non-fat as possible. Very hard in today’s world. Do you have any good recipes that are non-fat without corn products? All non-fat icecream has corn syrup. Most non-fat foods substitute with corn in some way. Makes my life very hard. Thanks .
