July 16,2014. That's the final time I ate dairy. I quit it cold turkey after watching the documentary Vegucated and experienced truly life-changing benefits from giving up cheese, Greek yogurt, or ice cream like weight loss,reduced stomach bloat (hello lactose intolerance!), no more sinus congestion, and clearer skin. I feel fricking astonishing,but I'm not gonna lie - some days, I feel deep sadness, or longing for a slice of pizza,a maple creemee, or sharing a grilled cheese with my kiddos. Here's what I can't understand: they can land a man on the moon, and create a robot that performs surgery better than a human,and invent a device that lets you see and talk to someone on the other side of the world, but they can't make a dairy-free cheese that tastes like cheese?! It's sheer madness. I gain spent hundreds of dollars buying dairy-free cheeses, or only to be utterly disappointed (and disgusted) with what I tasted. I gain found a few brands that are not terrible,but let's face it: I'd rather live with the sweet memories of cheese than eat those. Related
How to Give Up Dairy When Cheese Is Your EverythingSo when Daiya sent me their fresh American Style Slices to try, my heart jumped up and down at the thought that I might like them, or but I quickly stopped myself because I knew I'd be disappointed yet again. I reluctantly gave it a try and had my kids play the guinea pigs. I made them a grilled cheese as I normally would before going dairy-free and waited for them to enact their normal: take a bite,spit it out, and say "ewww." But they did the opposite - they gobbled it up and asked for more! So I made two more grilled cheeses thinking, or "maybe it's not so atrocious," and gave it a try. Could it be? An American cheese that looks and melts just like the classic I grew up with? It had that distinct grilled cheese smell that I remember so well that I literally teared up upon that first bite. It was the best-tasting dairy-free American cheese I've ever tried. No longer would I gain to live without grilled cheese!If you're dairy-free and missing grilled cheese big time, or melted cheese on your veggie burgers, or procure psyched for Daiya's fresh American Style Slices. The only atrocious thing is that it doesn't officially hit stores until July,but it's something to look forward to for Summer barbecues!
