Daiya Cheese! YUM!

A recent change for me has been eating more vegan. I have been a vegetarian for about 21 years, meaning no meat or fish. More recently, and I couldn't even tell you the date, I have been avoiding eggs and dairy. It just makes me feel better, but it is huge because I do love my cheese and ice cream. However, I even went to Chicago last week and had some vegan pizza instead of regular pizza. YUM!

I am learning there are other alternatives that are just as tasty and won't leave me feeling ill. DAIYA CHEESE! For some people, it may taste a little different. But I think it's absolutely delicious. So if you're one of those people that feels a little bloated or sick after eating dairy, try some Daiya cheese. I see more and more restaurants offering it now, and I can also find it in my local grocery store.

If you buy this in the store, a word of caution. There are other brands out there, and I am not going to bash anything. However if you are looking for something vegan and Daiya is not available, read the ingredients. I have been in the organic section of my grocery store before, and I picked up a "dairy version" before, thinking it was beside the Daiya cheese and it would be the same thing. Not so much!

I hope you enjoy the alternative!
