Cheese Recipes : Over 100 Cheesy Recipes - Pitchfork Foodie Farms (2024)

I’m bringing you the BEST Cheese Recipes in the world. These cheese appetizers, cheese dishes, and other food to make with cheese recipes are going to be your favorites!

Cheesy recipes are the ultimate when it comes to comfort food!

One of the most FAQs on my site and when people meet me in person is, “Do you really have a farm?” YES! My family really does have a dairy farm! The cows are right outside my kitchen window!

Another FAQ is, “What happens to the milk you produce on your farm?” It’s taken by truck to a cheese plant about 70 miles from our farm where it’s all made into cheese. The cheese is then sold to Chipotle Mexican restaurants.

As you can imagine, my family is madly in love with cheese! I mean not only do we love the way it tastes, but it’s also what we do for a living!

All about cheese

Be sure to check out my post all about how to buy, store, and even freeze cheese.

We take almost all the recipes we typically use and turn them into recipes with cheese! We literally add it to almost every meal.

It’s easy to stock up on too because it stores in the fridge for about 3 months and in the freezer for up to a year.

Let’s start with breakfast…

Cheese Dishes

If you’re having trouble getting your kids to eat dinner, try adding cheese! It’s the secret!

Add cheese to Mexican food, Italian food, American food…is there anything else?

Cheddar cheese is a great choice if you’re only going to keep one cheese on hand. It’s a great melting cheese and can be used in place of Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, American in most recipes. Mozzarella melts a bit differently than cheddar but you can substitute if needed.
