Hello friends, do you enjoy creating recipes? Have you ever entered a recipe contest? Do you, or does someone you love have a restricted diet? Do you enjoy a good challenge? Then this post is for you!
I’m on a very restricted diet. I have a lot of “trigger foods“, sadly one of them is cheese. I had been enjoying a delicious cheese substitute. It was “melt-able” flavorful and I enjoyed it in a variety of recipes for several years. But a couple of years ago they stopped selling it here in Utah. So I contacted the manufacturer and offered to purchase a few cases, but they declined. I did try a couple more times to get them to help me find the cheese. But sadly, no luck. They actually said stop calling us and go to Washington or Oregon to get the cheese. EEK… I did call many stores in Washington and Oregon but not one of them would sell and send me the cheese. Of course I offered to pay all the shipping fees, etc.

So you might be asking what’s so special about this cheese Katherine? Well besides being delicious, melt-able and free of trigger ingredients it is made from rice! They actually spell the word cheese with a z “cheeze” you can see in the upper left photo. (smile)
I spent hours upon hours searching for my “some might not call it cheese, cheese. ” I’ve tried to recreate the recipe, but no luck yet. So what does someone do when they are bereft of cheese?
I thought of YOU!
My sweet bloggy friends. Surely someone out there loves a challenge.
How the The Recipe Contest Works:
- You create a rice cheese recipe free of my triggers
- You send me the recipe
- I make it
- I pick the best recipe and send the winner my unending gratitude and $100.
- Contest ends on May 31st
So what do you think? Are you ready to make some rice cheese?
Thanks to Laura and you for reaching out to me. I’ve made cheese sauces out of: 1) potatoes, 2)white beans, 3) oats and 4)cashews but I’ve never made sliceable cheese or rice based cheese. What a fun contest! Good luck!!
Thank you Heather, maybe you’ll take my challenge (smile) Hugs!
Well, if you can’t get it, making it is the next best thing. Hope someone comes up with a good one for you.
Thank you my friend. My hubby is helping me with the prize . hugs
Hi! I’m sorry you can’t get your favorite cheese anymore – I know exactly how it is to fall in love with the perfect thing, then have it discontinued! I’ll think about the recipe contest and see if I can come up with something you’d like. Fingers crossed!
Thank you Barbara, it’s happened to me with so many things. I’ll cross my fingers too. hugs!
HI Katherine
What a great idea! I am going to email you a blogger friend who may be able to help you source this brand of cheese. xo laura
Laura you are such a caring friend, thank you xo
Unfortunately I don have any recipes. But I do have a special diet also, Im gluten free.
I’m sorry to learn of your diet restrictions. Do you find it’s getting easier to find foods and recipes that are gluten free? Thank you for your comment, hugs!
