Oh, cheese…you delectable dairy-product you. Every shape, size, consistency…you are always the solution to making someone’s meal, snack or midnight treat an extraordinary experience. I am sure I am not alone in recognizing some obsessive qualities when it comes to the topic of this pasteurized product. Like, what can’t you put it on? And why is it so addictive? In order to really know if you are in a food-relationship with cheese, check out my list of signs that show you may be just a little obsessed with it.
1. You have 5+ different types of cheese in your fridge: Cheddar, Swiss, Bleu, Parmesan, Provolone, you got it all.
2. You revolve your meals around using cheese. Omelets, grilled cheese, and broccoli-cheddar soup all day.
3. Every meal has cheese incorporated into it…even if it may be a weird concoction. “Can I put parmesan cheese on top of stir-fry?”
4. You always bring a cheese-platter to social gatherings.
5. Having a glass of wine always means cheese.
6. You spend the most time in front of the “cheese section” at the grocery store.
7. When you think of Chili’s your immediate thought is QUESO. And strawberry lemonade, but mostly QUESO.
8. You question why there is tortilla chips present when there is no queso. Forget salsa, am I right???
9. You eat cheese out of the bag while waiting for your meals to cook which will need cheese at some point.
10. At a restaurant, you always order something with extra cheese, or at least a side of it.
11. If you see something on a menu and it does not have cheese on it, you do not order it.
12. You have trust issues with anyone who says they “do not like cheese.” Like, what?
13. Your mind-set: Chocolate fondue? Forget about it. Bring on the cheese fondue.
14. You order your pizza with extra cheese, and a side of cheesy garlic bread for good measure.
15. In your mind, veggies are not veggies without a ‘healthy’ amount of melted cheese on top.
Alright, so you are in fact obsessed with cheese. Who can blame you? I certainly am not. From one cheese-obsessed individual to another… Stay cheesy.
