Honey Goat Cheese

As you might have noticed I’m always on the lookout for new non-cow’s milk cheese.  Since I’m lactose intolerant and now know I can enjoy goat and sheep stuff, life is good!  Whole Foods had quite the displays out yesterday for Easter and the one that caught my eye was a Dutch goat cheese with natural honey flavor.  I love the proper name — Hollandse Honey Bzzz Chevre.  It was pretty good.  It was that nice sweet hint in it.  For goat cheese not too soft, which is what I prefer.  I would say it’s along the lines of a soft cheddar.  Worth checking out if you’re looking for something new.

Simple (Dark Chocolate & PB) Pleasures

Simple things for simple minds?  Or simple, old school favorites tweaked to make lactose intolerant people thrilled?  Maybe they go hand in hand.  When I was at the store the other day there were some (unfortunate?) free samples of peanut butter cups.  Normally I just walk by them because they are the typically milk chocolate.  But, these looked a bit darker than usual.  Then I saw the display bag — dark chocolate.  I did some investigative work by reading the label because (too) many companies say their product is dark chocolate and have milk, lactose, cream, etc in them.  Oh, no, heaven be thy name.  There is no dairy in these things!  Thank you Justin’s.  You have brought me to eternal peanut better cup bliss!  And, aside from the little sample pieces, the store was giving away full size treats.  Simple things…
