Can you believe it?! I actually don't miss cheese in my diet! Before I chose to live vegan, I used to eat it EVERYDAY! Bought gigantic, warehouse-sized bags of it every week! I grew up on the stuff! And now I never even think about it...
I miss cheese so little that I hardly even buy the dairy-free alternatives like Follow Your Heart or Daiya, which I used to rely on more heavily as a "younger" vegan. These brands are a taste treat, don't get me wrong, (sure makes a decadent lasagna!) only I don't need to consume them on any regular basis. And no one is more amazed by this than I...
Many people think they cannot live without cheese. They're wrong. It's an addiction that CAN be broken.
I'm proof of that.

Remember when I used to ache for cheese? I don't think I could even look at it now....It is funny how ou tastes evolve!
We constantly surprise ourselves by what we've outgrown and used to crave. Congrats, Valerie!
Thanks, Brandi!
Yes, I DO remember when you wanted cheese all the time! Only earlier this year. (Have that many months passed by already?!) You've come a long way yourself!! :)
Thank you BlessedMama!
I guess we're always evolving, huh! But hopefully we're going in the right direction! :)
You said it Valerie! I love Daiya, its delicious and i love how it does melt the way cheese does. Now if only we could get everyone in the world to have an open mind and try it out. Most people run when they hear the phrase "vegan cheese"
If I dont talk to you have the merriest christmas
It's so true- I used to LOVE cheese- it's been 5years and I haven't looked back! But that being said, Daiya does not suck one bit either...Happy New Year!

"......."weaned" (pun intended) :) from such a fatty, artificial, and cruel product. "

i never really think about cheese anymore, any addiction can be stopped, its hard at first but very possible. you are so right.

Michal, VKO, and Dirty Duck! Sorry it's taken me so many weeks to thank you for your comments!

I use vegan cheese slices from Whole Foods when I make sandwiches or vegan quesadillas. And I still like vegan cheese on vegan pizza too :-)
