I've looked in a few grocery stores and I can't for the life of me find vegan cheese. There's "soy cheese" but it has a milk protein in it so it isn't vegan friendly =(

Don't stress Annie, it isn't that good anyways, i don't find sandwiches or other foods incomplete without cheese when there are so many other yummy things to add
Some people enjoy the taste of soycheese, however, most of it is pretty expensive and highly processed stuff, so don't feel too left out.
Also, why don't you eat lunch??

I guess I just miss cheese in general to be honest...so I thought mabye the vegan cheese would help vill that void.

I don't eat lunch b/c my days usually consist of: breakfast, classes from 9:40 till 1pm then I have time for a snack, then I run, then I shower and by then it's 4 so I just wait for dinner =/

I bought the Toffutti mozzarella slices. It doesn't have milk protein.

To be honest, it doesn't taste like cheese. I bought it on a whim and I was trying to use it up before it went bad.

I couldn't find any for a long time either. It tastes very different, but for a cheesy-type flavor, you could try nutritional yeast.

You know what, I don't think nutritional yeast tastes cheesy at all. It has a nice, savoury taste, but not cheesy.

Your day sounds de-lish!

Tigerlily-
I agree that Nut. yeast tastes very different from cheese, but I made "mac and cheese" with it and the flavor was similar (but had its own distrinct taste). I guess you're right about the savoury taste though...that describes it well.

soya yogurt, 2 kiwi fruit, peach + oats

2 pitta bread filled with hummus, tomatoes, cucumber + rocket
2 carrots dipped in hummus

apple, pear

red peppers filled with millet, mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn, celery, herbs + yeast flakes

small scoop of lemon icecream

morning snack: 1 persimmon and 1 tangerine

lunch: rice vermicelli, with chopped raw tomatoes, fresh basil, and almond oil (lovely flavour!). Followed by 2 persimmons and green grapes

snack: some chocolate, 1 banana

another snack: 1 pear, 1 persimmon, 1 tangerine, 1 small apple

supper: stuffed oven-baked zucchini (stuffing consisting of bread, breadcrumbs, onion, olive oil, tomatoes, the marrow of the zucchini, soy sauce, curry powder, paprika, fresh basil, oreganum) and Rotkohl (red cabbage prepared the German way, ie chopped and cooked with vinegar, veggie stock sugar, salt, onion, raisins, and apple)
more fruit: 1 persimmon and more grapes

I agree with you guys - it is different - but I really like it - a while ago this summer i made a grilled cheese using some semi thick cheese sauce I created using nutritional yeast and brown rice flower, mustard, other spices and i really enjoyed it. im so glad cheese isnt an option now because i love nutritional yeast and i would have never discovered it before
