And then there’s the smell of garlic cooking in butter or olive oil.

That alone can make everyone in the house suddenly appear in the kitchen asking:

“What’s for dinner?”

Fresh garlic, roasted garlic, minced garlic, garlic powder, garlic paste…

There are plenty of ways to use it.

But could you really give it up?

Garlic fans are probably already shaking their heads.

🧀 Cheese: The Great Comfort Food

Cheese might be the hardest ingredient to eliminate for some people.

There are so many varieties that giving up “cheese” means giving up an entire universe of foods.

Cheddar.

Mozzarella.

Parmesan.

Swiss.

Brie.

Gouda.

Blue cheese.

Pepper Jack.

Cream cheese.

Cottage cheese.

And that’s only scratching the surface.

Think about all the foods that rely on cheese:

🧀 Pizza
🧀 Mac and cheese
🧀 Grilled cheese sandwiches
🧀 Cheesecake
🧀 Lasagna
🧀 Nachos
🧀 Quesadillas
🧀 Cheese-filled pasta

Melted cheese alone could probably convince some people that this ingredient is completely non-negotiable.
