Tesco Feta - safe cheese

I love feta, absolutely love it! This is a safe one I found in Tesco and it's tasty.

I had fancied some filo spinach and feta parcels. Hubby got some wonton pastry from the Chinese supermarket so I made the parcels with that. They were awesome!

There was some left over spinach and feta mix, so we just had homemade pizzas which were also awesome.

I'm so glad that it has the sugar content broken down, as I wouldn't have been able to buy it if it just listed the carbs!

Morrisons Grated Mature Cheddar - safe cheese

Oh my another safe cheese and what a tasty one at that!

This is very tasty and is often found on top of pasta in my house! The hubby also uses it for cheese sauces and mac cheese.

I love it and we usually end up buying one a week.

Tesco Roquefort - safe cheese

Continuing the trend of real cheese that I can eat, here is another gem.

This cheese tastes kinda weird, hard to describe, but it's so good!

Had been eating it with the crackers. Me and the hubby were having cheese & cracker parties lol!

Tesco Finest Taleggio DOP - safe cheese

Tesco currently have an offer of 3 for 2 on selected Finest cheese. And to my surprise there are a few I can eat. Though these only tend to be available in the larger stores. I got 3!

First up...

This tastes lovely, kinda reminds me of alcohol but only just.

I had it with various types of crackers which I'll be posting as well.

I'm just so happy there is a good range of different cheeses that I can eat! And the fact I can eat real cheese too, wooo!

Morrisons Mature Lighter Cheese Slices - safe cheese

Another safe cheese find and thanks to hubby. I've got him well trained lol!

This is very tasty and quite crumbly. It's good with a ham sandwich hehe. I used a Tesco Ham with I'll post about next, the end result was this:

To die for! Sadly my new phone has a rubbish camera. I'll try and post the info once I get a better pic!

Edit - info:

Morrisons Savers Extra Mature White Cheddar - safe cheese

Hooray I'm back on track and with an awesome cheese. Out of all the cheeses I've posted this one has to be my favourite :-) It's so tasty and hubby makes a mean mac cheese with it too!

It took me ages to look through all the cheeses in Morrisons as this was the only one I found! It's awesome, tasty, makes a good salad sandwich and it cheap. Yum yum :-)

Tesco Mature Parmesan - safe cheese

Another safe cheese. This time a lovely parmesan that's great with pasta and other things! Very tasty I'd have to say.

Asda Swiss Gruyere - safe cheese

Today we have another safe cheese. This is quite tasty and Mr Non-Lactose Intolerant uses it to make home made cottage pie, yum yum. He does most of the cooking in the house and fully understands my lactose intolerance, thankfully!

Asda Mozzarella Cheese Slice - safe cheese

I've decided to make posts on 'safe cheese' that I happen to stumble upon!

Today we have Asda's own brand of Mozzarella slices! They make awesome pizzas!

Home Made Pizza, well sort of!

I bought some ciabattas from Sainsbury's the other day and had an idea to make a pizza.

I used the ciabattas, Asda's own brand of sun-dried tomatoes and my favourite hard goats cheese - see HERE.

Before it went into the over:

 And after 10 mins in the over at 180 this is how they looked:

They tasted awesome :-) This oil from sun-dried tomatoes worked a treat with the ciabatta.

Highly recommend. Any ciabatta or even baguette would do.

Home Made Macaroni and Cheese

My husband recently made a lovely Macaroni and Cheese. He used the cheapo pasta from Tesco (I think) and this cheese:

And the info we need:

Sorry it's slightly blurry! Basically it's got carbs, but of which sugar 0.0g! Yah. This is why it's vital that manufacturers break down the carbs or even let us know what the sugar content is. Some don't, so I cannot buy any cheeses that do have carbs as I've no idea of the sugar content! Could be nil, but they ain't telling us that!

I'm not quite sure how he made the sauce, but I do know he made it with soya milk ;-)

And the end result:

It was awesome, I probably ate too much, I no doubt put on a few pounds BUT I had no side effects, or any sickness. I was fine :-) It was delightful and it's amazing to think I can eat a real macaroni and cheese.

So there you have it, we can eat cheese :-)

Can I eat real cheese?

Do you like cheese?

If you do and have found out you are lactose intolerant, don't fear. No matter how severe your intolerance is, you will still be able to eat real cheese!

As lactose is a sugar, it's relatively easy to tell which cheeses you can eat.

So I'm idly going about my day to day life and boom! A life changing article (well almost). At first I wasn't sure about it at all. Apparently certain goat's cheeses contain no lactose (wasn't sure of the science bit) and my sort can eat them! No way. Happy days indeed. So I tried some feta. Seemed okay and after reading the nutritional information on the back, it dawned on me and my husband (joint effort). Carbohydrates nil of which sugar nil......... Lactose is a sugar so cheese which has no sugar has no lactose!!!!!!!!! It's been staring me in the face for all these years and so obvious really.

So there you have it, any cheese that has no sugar or no carbs, you can eat :-) Goat, cow or otherwise!

Now depending on how much lactose you can tolerate depends on what cheese you can eat! Myself, I've got a very low tolerance, a drop would set me off. So be warned if you are like me, you must always eat the cheeses that have no carbs or sugars, trace or 0.01g per 100g will set you off - as I've sadly found out :-( Funny that isn't it?
