That's good to hear :) I have their mac and cheese and have been a little afraid to try it--didn't think it would be that good... But you've given me some hope !

I find with the mac and chreese, I have to use twice as much liquid as it calls for, and lots of olive oil (or you can use Earth Balance). Then I add some sea salt. Then it's pretty good. :D

I hear a lot of people say that. Maybe I find it edible becasue I really don't remember what real cheddar tastes like :lol:

I have to say I've never bought thier stuff because the boxes are horribly unnatractive. I don't really have dairy issues though, so thats also another reason to just buy Annies or Tinkyada.

And seriously Chreese? Someone should talk to their marketing people.

I don't want to rile anyone up, but nothing about thier products say "eat me" to me at all.

I agree on the name. haha. They think they're being clever since it's a vegan company and it's pronounced "trees." Maybe that was obvious but I didn't get it until I read it on their website.

Wow, I was on thier website and didn't pick up that tidbit. Thats a pretty inside joke. I know they're trying to be all "green" with thier packaging and everything, but still. I think I have a hesistancy because of bad luck with other gluten free things that turned out to be terrible. I have this thing, when I buy wine. "If you like the label, you'll probably like the wine" I don't know where I got it from, but it works pretty well. I think I extend that to other things as well.

i think it all depends on where you are from.. the company is from vermont ( which is where i am also)and thats what people up here enjoy.. i know the stuff cant stay on the shelves for more than a day or 2 .

people here arent really into "looks" not just food boxes .. im talking everything. hair, clothing, you name it.

dont get me wrong...its not redneck or white trash.. they'd just rather spend money on other things.

everyone has plenty of money.. its really expensive to live here and evryone has nice cars.. volvos , audis, subarus and nice houses!

they are just more concerend with politics and world issues.

im not from here.. i grew up in chicago so i know about city living and "vermont" living and it certainly took a lot of getting used to living here , but now i would never want to live anywhere else ( except when its 25 below zero outside) :P

people up here seem to like things that are good for them regardless of taste.

i didnt LOVE the chreese the first time i tried it but i added some stuff to it and made it yummy.

Ok well I was all excited when I saw the Shitake Mushroom Gravy but now i'm kinda torn as whether to try this. In NY we're big on packaging and taste. LOL!!!

I can overlook the packaging but Ebrbetty's review of the gravy didn't make me very hopeful.

For those of you who like it, what kind of cheese or cheese product did it most closely resemble? For those of you who thought it was gross, what was it about it that tasted so gross?

I'm a bit hesitant to order a bunch of stuff I might end up throwing out.

"Yuck" tells me you didn't like it, but it doesn't give me any idea of what it does taste like. Anybody?

Hmmm...with the exception of trying raw organic goat cheese a few months ago, I haven't eaten cheese in about 12 years, so I don't know whether or not it resembles cheese. LOL. Have you ever tried nutritional yeast? It's made with that and lentil flour, which makes kind of a "cheesy" sauce when you mix it with liquid and heat it. I don't think there's anything you can compare it to really, except maybe the consistency is kind of like mac and cheese. It's exciting for me because I hadn't had mac and cheese in so long! I guess you have to eat it without expecting it to taste like mac and cheese though. It's just a random gluten-free/cf/sf convenience food haha

Here's the scoop: even though the store-finder button on the website told me it was not available in my area, I found the mac and cheese and the penne in the ever-expanding gluten-free section of my local supermarket. I cooked up the cheddar-style one. The verdict? First of all, the sauce/assembly recipe was wrong. Although it called for 1/4 cup of 'milk', it took about 3/4 cup of liquid to give it the consistency of mac and cheese. And there was something about the flavor... Besides the almond milk I added sherry, butter, more salt, white pepper, paprika, and red pepper, but whatever it was, it didn't cover. So I don't think I'll buy it again. I can probably make it better myself from scratch.

It probably would have been helped a lot by a big glob of sour cream, like I used to add to the Kraft mac and cheese...

      My only proof

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
