Cheese for the Non-Dairy Eater

June 21, 2011

I’ve seen almond milk become main stream and I love it in smoothies!  However, a little while ago I came across a product that was new to me- ALMOND CHEESE! I thought it would be a great alternative for someone with a lactose intolerance and decided to try it out.  I was further impressed by [...]
