I wanted to find out once and for all if goat cheese is more tolerable than cow's milk. (I'm a little afraid to try it myself to see what it does to my system)! I know I should take one for the team and try to find out, but I think lactose intolerances are individual and vary from person to person.

Goat Cheese Cheesecake with Roasted Rosemary Pears
(recipe from Whole Foods Market)
Substituting goat cheese for some of the cream cheese in a cheesecake results in an absolutely stunning dessert that is slightly tangy and not too sweet. Add some rosemary-roasted pears and your guests will be dreaming of this cake for days after you serve it. Make it natural by using only organic ingredients.

I hated having to give up cheese, but feeling better was much more important! In my quest for "fake" cheese, I have found several alternatives.
Here's the skinny:
Rice cheese: I think is the tastiest, especially for sandwiches, BUT it contains casein-a dried milk protein that enables the cheese to melt.

This was SO delicious, and only 120 calories per serving!
I am in culinary school and yesterday I had my Nutritional Cooking class. We worked on Salads, Soups and Appetizers and as soon as I saw this on our production list, I said I would make it (due to my love for goat cheese).

This weekend my friend April was having an appetizer potluck birthday party in the park. I wasn't sure what I was going to make, so I got up early and went to the farmer's market to see if I could find something that inspired me. I ended up getting sidetracked on my way to the market and ended up not having too much time.

Just recently I ate bruschetta with goat cheese, hazelnuts, cashews, grilled onions tomatoes and, I believe, raisins. So much better than the traditional bruschetta of mozzarella and tomatoes! I think I will have to give this a try for my next party!

I have been eating a lot of scrambled eggs (1 whole, 1 white) lately for breakfast, with sliced tomatoes. Since going Vegetarian, eggs are a prime source of protein for me.
This morning I did something a little different.
