The hardest thing for me since trying to become strict vegan is letting go of cheese, I put it in everything. I love it on sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes, enchiladas, but due to health reasons I made the decision to cut back.
The alternatives to cheese haven't made it any easier. If your vegan you have a choice of rice, and, tofu cheeses, I tried both and if those are my choices I'd rather not eat cheese at all. It wasn't until recently that I discovered something awesome, a vegan cheese that isn't made out of harmful soy and that actually tastes good.
I'm talking about Daiya vegan cheese. This stuff is so close to the real thing I even fooled my dad and believe me he can usually tell if its a fake. So far I've used it to make pizza, enchiladas, nachos, mushroom burgers, and I even sprinkle some on my salad for a little extra kick. Its so close to the real thing it even melts.
Daiya cheese comes in mozzarella style shreds and cheddar style shreds
Also something really great about Daiya vegan cheese is that it doesn't contain common allergens like :
Gluten, soy, dairy, egg, peanuts, and tree nuts (excluding coconut)
