7. If it weren't for cheese, I'd be half the man I am today...

May 3

Having said that, it's tough to pick a favorite cheese.

I love Cabot's Seriously Sharp cheddar - it's delicious as a snack with tart apples, it melts well for quesadillas, and tastes great period.

I also love Romano cheese on pasta and pizza (after it comes out of the oven).

And while I'm a bit of cheese snob, one of my guilty pleasures is Velveeta Mac and Cheese. I almost can't stand it out of the package but it's so good in mac and cheese.

So there you go - my true cheese confession.
