quick tip: shred your cheese

For the love of food… shred your own cheese people.

Yes, yes, I know… there are times when even I resort to store bought shredded cheese, when I’m in a hurry, or don’t feel up to it… However, for the most part I self-grate.

Store-bought, pre-graded cheese is treated with a waxy, flour like substance to protect the cheese from sticking together. And, what that really means, is that when you eat said cheese, you aren’t really eating “just cheese.'“

Self-grated cheese means that you are getting more cheesy flavors and less “extras.”
