Daiya works really well on pizzas, grilled cheese(ya gotta flip it easy), broccoli cheddar soup and even unmelted in salads, tacos, etc. And I love it when I can find it for under $4! Can’t wait for it to hit WalMart and Meijer stores in Michigan.

I had ice cream yesterday with a massive amount of peanut butter sauce on it and it was delicious.
Ahh…I feel better getting it off my chest.

Hi Tina,

There’s always mail order…. It might take a while, but here’s a link that you may want to browse: women’s pumps

Hi Daniel,

If you have the time, many of the vegan “luxury” items can be made at home for a fraction of the cost. Cashew cheese, seitan, even vegan ice cream. But it’s not always practical or convenient.
You have to do what is right for you. We save pizza for our trips to New York. They aren’t that frequent, so it doesn’t start us down a slippery slope. I think if I had it more frequently, I would give in to temptation more often, and ultimately wind up being an omni again.

I slip about once a month.I don’t make a lot of money to afford cheese substitutes and other vegan luxury items.I try the best i can, but sometimes we run out of grocery’s and or i feel an urge and i give in.

Hi tina,
Jane and I feel that it is impossible to be a perfect vegan if you live in today’s society. If you drive a car, your tires have animal byproduct. The sheetrock in your house has animal byproduct. Crayons contain animal byproduct. We strive to do the best we can.
More than likely, your croissant contained animal product (butter). Should you castigate yourself over this? No! You feel bad, you’re not going to do it again. But more importantly… you’re vegan 99.99% of the time. One step off the path doesn’t mean you’re not vegan. (And it’s not like you had a steak!) Now other people don’t agree with our philosophy. Basically, you have to decide what works for you.
We feel that we are doing more by being vegan all year with the exception of our two slices of pizza when we’re in NY, than most of the rest of the population. We’re comfortable with our decision. It’s your life, you need to decide what works for you!
You do the best you can, and that is all you can do. Hope that helps.

i slipped for the first time today.

I HAD A CROISSANT. i ordered my coffee this morning and really wanted something plain to eat. so i asked the waiter if there was egg or dairy in the croissant, and he just looked at me like i was a freak and laughed, completely un-helpful and rude. they couldnt even reccomend anything else to eat. it was so upseting and dissapointing.

so i had it anyhow hoping there wasnt any animal products even thou i had my susspicions. i dont know why i did that but i feel really bad and i wont ever do that again.

was i weak in my decision. ?
