My teeny tiny small town grocer has agreed to start carrying Daiya cheese (shredded.)  I'm thrilled!  Does anyone have any suggestions for cooking / using this product?  A "go to" snack for me was a simple corn tortilla w/a bit of shredded cheese and some hot sauce, I'm looking forward to my tortilla snack. 

I use it all of the time in black bean quesadilla's. My almost 4 year old likes to eat it by the handful which I try to discourage since even thought it's not bad for you, it doesn't offer a lot nutritionally. lol

Daiya is wonderful!!  I use it to bridge the gap between myself and my non-vegan boyfriend.

My favorite dishes to use Daiya on are lasagna, tacos/nachos, and pasta.  Actually, tonight my good friend is cooking us dinner at her place, and I'm the only vegan.  Since my friend is on Weight Watchers, she's making wheat pasta with spaghetti sauce and cheesy garlic bread.  I told her I'll bring the Daiya and she can try it...I'm excited she's going to give it a shot!  So, I guess cheesy garlic bread can be added to my list of useful Daiya recipes :)

Thanks y'all for your input.  I've been living Vegan Mon-FriDay, then starting Friday nites, allowing myself some cheese here and there for the weekend, so my husband and I can eat "together" a bit more.  I can really feel the difference Sat/Sun mornings, esp on those cheesier evenings.  It will be nice to be able to put together some consecutive vegan weeks.....to see how my body really benefits.

It's good for pizza and topping chili.

Just bought the Daiya Mozzarella shredded cheese and I hope it tastes better cooked bc I opened up the package and tried some and I thought it was gross :/ I'm starting to think there is no substitute for "real" cheese 

Maybe some nachos

Daiya is kind of gross cold (as are most fake "cheeses"), but tastes wonderful once cooked/baked/melted.

Daiya is soooo good on pizzas! If you also like Brussels sprouts, here is a fun recipe to try :) http://www.spotlightonhealthyliving.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts-pizza/

Just had daiya on my mushroom, onion, pepper and broccoli pizza last night.  Yummy!  But absolutely do not eat it cold.  Not good.  I also love it in quesadillas and on nachos when I'm just craving something salty, fatty, gooey.  Not every day, but it is a great treat.  Oh, and I much, much prefer the mozzerella style shreds to their other flavors. 

Hi Kim, I agree the mozzerlla has the best flavor - ( I do use the cheedar for mac & chesse though. or a combo of both when not making the cashew version. 

Last night I also make a pizza with a vegan pesto sauce, organic spinach, artichokes, trader joes chicken strips and daiya cheese. Very tasty!  I prefer making my own cheese sauce with the cashews  - but daiya works on everything. Tostadas, Enchilldas, Tofu scramble etc.  

Kim - I agree, the mozzarella is definitely the best! The cheddar is ok and the pepper jack is not good (in my opinion). I think the mozzarella flavor is great in salads though! 

I've been using the cheddar shreds for a couple of years and it's great stirred into chili and to make quesadillas. I was super happy to have the pepper jack shreds come around, but something in the ingredient list on that one tore my stomach up so I can't use it.

My Whole Foods just added the new "brick" versions of the cheese and I bought the cheddar. I intended to melt it into my chili like the shreds but decided to cut a piece of it first to taste test it, and it doesn't suck!

I don't care for the uncooked shreds at all, but the brick cheese is actually a little zingy and I could see cutting cubes into a salad or having it with crackers.
