Today is National Cheese Day.

Cheezy Vegetable Bake (vegan, GF))

Do you like cheese? Any favorites or favorite recipes using cheese?
Links welcome and here’s a compilation post with all my Cheese Recipes
There’s one day left in the Gourmet Crackers Sampler Pack Giveaway, which are intended to be eaten with cheese.
I have a new cheese-filled post coming up next. Clearly, I took this holiday seriously.
I just started working at a store that sells tons of gourmet and imported cheeses so I’ve been trying tons and loving most all of them! Not a fan of blue cheeses I decided but I’m now a huge fan of lots that I didn’t even know existed.

Can’t wait to see what you have cooking up. I love a nice smoked gouda, feta, or goat cheese. And I really have become addicted to Daiya, though not technically a cheese I suppose.

Those mini grilld cheese sandwiches get me everytime! I gotta make them ASAP. Goat cheese is my favorite………… soooo creamy. I love it in salads with craisins + almonds. Oh and I adore cream cheese. My boyfriend HATES it but we ate key lime pie cheesecake (seriously, so so good!) over the weekend and he raved about it. I don’t have many cheese recipes on my sight, but I made oreo truffles over the weekend with GOLDEN oreos! Those will be posted this week. :) Happy Cheese Day!

National Cheese Day! :) Gorgeous photos as usual! That Chili and Cheese Casserole looks out of this world! I don’t eat dairy, because it hurts my tummy, but once a year, at christmas, I will have a couple bites of Triple Creme Brie…its an XMas tradition…and it is SOO worth the tummy ache afterwards! hah….thanks for sharing!

Triple Creme Brie…if there’s anything worth a bit of a tummy ache, that sounds like something I’d pick too!

Cheese is my biggest love in the food world (chocolate is a very close second). My absolute favorite is goat cheese! I recently tried my first raw goat cheddar cheese and it was amazing (espeically with some raw honey drizzled over top. Don’t knock it until you try it, I saw it on a cooking show, tried it and loved it). Cheese right now is a special treat for me as I am currently eating a high raw mostly vegan lifestyle. In fact, I think I could live a full vegan high raw lifestyle if it weren’t for my love of cheese! LOL :D

Cheese day? Awesome. I really need a calendar with all of these national holidays and special food days. I’ve missed pi day every year and it’s seriously one of my favorites.

Pi day. People blog about that every year and it’s not one I pay attention to…but if I remember it, I’ll remind you!

Cheese is marvelous stuff. I’m partial to Brie and Camembert. And a good cheddar with apples is divine…
Happy Cheese Day!

Apples and cheese is a win, for sure!

In my house, every day is national cheese day :-)

I can’t believe I used to hate cheese, to the point were I was ordering cheese less pizzas and would never add cheese to a lasagna, now I eat it I am not crazy about it, but I love my pizza with lots of cheese, love gouda and sharp cheddar cheese with apples and honey, I also like hard cheeses like romano and parmesan, and absolutely hate blue cheese, I can’t even smell it! :)

Averie @ Averie Cooks replied: — June 4th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
of all the cheese, blue is my least fave..I’d much rather sample just about any others! i love SHARP cheddar too!

Wow girl, it all looks amazing but especially the herb doughnuts!!

Gahhh, National Cheese Day!!!!!?? How did I not know about this! I am a HUGE HUGE fan of cheese and like pretty much all cheeses (except blue). My favourites are Gruyere and goat cheese.

I’ve eaten enough cheese for 10 people this weekend on a blogger’s cheese tour in Madison, WI – but I could still eat more!

My dad would shoot me! We are Chicago Bears fans ;)

my husband is a HUGE Bears fan. Born and raised Chicago guy!
I like feta, Gouda and Brie, and I even made fresh ricotta a couple of times. I am wanting to try some raw cheese–people seem to love it so I think I will too! Have you tried raw cheese? The closest I came to cheese today was nooch in my home made salad dressing!

Raw cheese? Yes goat’s milk and cow’s. Remember, I grew up in rural Minnesota (near Wisc the cheese capital) where everyone had barns and cows…raw milk and cheese were pretty common. And now it’s trendy in CA to have raw milk and cheese. So yes, and I’ve lived to tell the tale :)

Ohhhh, how I love cheese :-) I don’t think I could ever choose a favorite.

I’m running out of adjectives for you, Averie. Lol! Seriously, National Cheese Day?! What kind of delicious nonsense is THAT?! What’s a few more recipes on the Pinterest recipe board, anyway? ;)
Reply
Everyday should be National Cheese Day… I don’t know I missed this holiday! Good think I ate feta on my salad tonight. I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. I especially love smoked gouda or smoked blue.
Reply
Oh, I missed it. I don’t think I had any cheese today! :( All your dishes look wonderful! I really love the mini toasted cheese sandwiches!!

Hey, I did not know about Cheese Day – and me. married to a Cheesehead from Wisconsin ;) I spent this afternoon working on a creamy pesto recipe, so guess I was going in the right direction.

Do I like cheese? :) Every day is a cheese day in this house! :) We love cheeses, especially the raw milk cheeses. favorite would be sheep’s milk Pecorino Romano. Show me tomato and slice of pecorino, and i would melt instantly…:)

Cheese is the best…i can never have enough of it…lol. All of those recipes look yummy! I am especially digging those mini sandwiches!

Coming from Wisconsin I am a cheese fanatic!!! Fresh squeaky cheese curds all the way. I put fresh mozzarella on my grilled pizza last weekend and it was divine too.
Reply
Oh my! I love cheese, only can’t have too much of it these days. I really want to try those cheesy veggies. Maybe that would help my kids eat them!
Reply
I rarely eat real cheese anymore, but when I do it has to be soft, creamy and stinky.Brie will do lol. To celebrate the day I had cheesy nacho sauce from nutritional yeast :)
Reply
Cheese is one of my favourite foods! I love that it has it’s own national holiday. Yum!
Reply
Oh, man! How did I miss out on national cheese day? Looks like I need to celebrate a day late!

Happy National Cheese Day! Hope you’re week is off to a great start

Is there anything else in the world as fantastic as cheese? All these look and sound rockin’ especially those mini grilled cheese sammies! YUM!

I always tend to get more in the store than originally anticipated so I try not to go hungry :-)

I love cheese, but it doesn’t always love me. My body can handle yogurt and ice cream a lot easier than cheese. So I guess the first part is good, but CHEEEESE!

This holiday was MAAAADE FOR MY MOUTH.
