Hello!
I'm TJ, new to the website and the group. I tried going vegan before, but I had no self control, so I regrouped and am willing to try it again!
I'm thinking of slowly cutting back on certain foods, instead of just giving them all up at once. My body doesn't deal with dairy well, so that's the first to go.
I love soy milk, and I found a vegan butter-like spread. Here is my problem: cheese
Mmm...cheese...I know, I'm awful! But I <3 cheese! Pizza, lasanga, etc. etc...
I have tried one or tow soy cheeses, and they are GROSS! Couldn't even finish the package.
So, my million dollar question for my stage one: does anyone know of a really tasty cheese substitute?

RE: New and with question...
Hi, TJ. I have been strict vegan for about 2 1/2 years, prior to that lacto-ovo vegetarian on and off for 20 years. The only "cheese" product I have found to be somewhat palatable is called daiya. It melts well and comes in a mozzarella variety and a cheddar variety. Both are shredded. I find it at my local whole foods market, but it is not always easy to find. There are some pretty good "parm" substitutes on the market as well. If you are truly wanting them vegan make sure and read your labels for casein. Some of the brands do add it. Also, if you love soy milk, I suggest you try the dairy alternatives made from coconut milk as well. They are really quite nice and a good change. Hope this helps.
