Enjoy your mornings with these Cheezy Vegan Waffles with Soy Chorizo
What is your favorite comfort food? Mine has to be cheesy, fluffy waffles to enjoy on a Sunday morning. It doesn’t get any better than that if you ask me.
What if I told you that your favorite cheesy comfort food such as these waffles, mac and cheese, quesadillas and grilled cheese sandwiches can love you back? Yes, you read that correctly.
I’ve partnered with Daiya, the leading maker of plant-based foods, which produces better-for-you versions of comfort foods that people already love to eat. Their latest national advertising campaign, “Comfort Foods That Love You Back,” highlights their extensive line of great-tasting comfort foods that are free of gluten, dairy and soy.
As part of the campaign, Daiya features a digital video, “Daiya Loves You Back”where a delicious bowl of Deluxe Cheddar Style Cheezy Mac is professing its love to a young woman. Nobody can resist those lines, especially if the indulgence is a deliciously guilt-free bowl of Daiya Cheezy Mac.
For this tongue-in-cheek campaign, Daiya will also be giving away 150 “Boxes of Love,” the same talking box featured in the digital video to fans. Three of those fans will win a year’s worth of Daiya products if a video is shared and on their social media channels and selected. How fun is that?!
