Breaking Up with Cheese

Cheese has been a huge part of my life. Growing up in Wisconsin. It was a staple that was at every meal. I love cheese. In some ways it was like having to break up with a boyfriend when I had to stop eating it. It got me through some tough times, it was my go to when I needed to be cheered up. Who didn’t love a good grilled cheese or cheese curd when they were feeling down, I mean seriously! It was the hardest thing I had to give up when I was eliminating dairy products. I would be reminded of it everywhere. When I went out I would see people enjoying their cheesy, gooey nachos or they would be eating their creamy pastas brimming with melted cheese. Happily licking the cheese off their fingers. Don’t take it for granted i thought. You never know when it could be taken aways…. Luckily we have come so far in the dairy substitution area. I would soon love again. But it would be a new love, for substitutes. It’s amazing what cashews and nutritional yeast can create. And like any break up, time helped.

Creating Vegan Cheese Magic.

After many attempts, I have nailed my best vegan cheese sauce yet. I love this Instant Pot Ultimate Vegan Cheese Sauce recipe because it makes a lot and you can freeze it or save it for later. I always have at least 1 or 2 cups of it on hand in my fridge to use at any moment. It should stay up to 2 weeks in the fridge. I use it to make mac and cheese, artichoke dips, cheese sauce for my potatoes. The options are endless. I know you will love this too!
