Not until a friend of mine informed me last year that I probably couldn’t judge the taste of non-dairy milk compared to regular milk did I really think about that issue. The longer you stay off dairy, the less appetizing it really is. Did these need cheeze? Not really. I had Daiya pepperjack in the freezer, though, so I used it. I’m glad it freezes well since it’s $6 a bag at Whole Foods or Wegmans; needless to say, I don’t buy it often.
