It is common for people to think of their favorite foods from their childhood as comfort foods. Although my typical pancakes, pasta, and oatmeal are some of my favorites, there are many other meals that I enjoyed as a child that I crave now, one of them being GRILLED CHEESE!
It’s been over five years now that I haven’t eaten dairy, and although I occasionally noticed the presence of dairy-free cheeses at the market, I was always too skeptical to try them. In fact, I only discovered my love of vegan cheese by accident after ordering a vegan pizza at a local pizza restaurant (assuming that they would simply omit the cheese like most other restaurants in my area), and receiving a pizza covered in this unfamiliar cheese. After skeptically tasting it (and asking Spencer to try it to make sure the cheese wasn’t “real”), I fell in pizza love. Soon after, I finally decided to buy some vegan cheese at the market and try it out in my childhood favorite sandwich.
I have to say, the vegan cheeses I have tried are pretty amazing. My personal favorites are the slices by the Chao and Follow Your Heart brands. I love these because they are made from simple ingredients and they melt beautifully! The classic grilled cheese sandwich is once again a comfort staple in my routine. I hope you try it out, and enjoy!
