So, as you can see over in my sidebar, one of my goals for October is to try out some new proteins. I'm no stranger to cottage cheese, but it's not something I eat all that often. Well, while I was in the dairy section of The Fresh Market to pick up some yummy Fage Greek Yogurt, I stumbled upon something new.
I'm a sucker for pretty packaging, and something in a sleek black cup with a pop of color caught my eye. Cottage cheese?? Oh, but not just *any* cottage cheese - it's Rachel's Wickedly Delicious Cottage Cheese. Cute package, fun name.... I'm buyin' it!
Turns out - there are several different mixes. I've only seen just plain ole' boring cottage cheese before, but Rachel's comes in several holy-cow-im-drooling-over-cottage-cheese flavors; Cucumber dill, Sun dried tomato pesto, Roasted red pepper, Pear Magosteen, Pomegranate orange cranberry, and Lemon verbena berry. Um... YUM!I decided to start out with the cucumber dill and the roasted red pepper. Both were truly amazing. And it's nothing fancy... it's as simple as a cucumber and dill chopped up with cottage cheese on top. You just mix and enjoy. Next time I grab some, I'm going to try it as a side to some grilled salmon - that would just be delish! The roasted red pepper was super yummy as well!
To beat it all, cottage cheese is packed full of protein. This makes a wickedly delicious, healthy little snack :) Here are the macros....
Check out their yummy website to find out where you can buy some near you!
PS - just wondering.... my hubby gets totally grossed out by cottage cheese. What are your thoughts? Love it or leave it? Leave me a comment & let me know! :)
ok........ I agree with your hubby... I won't try cottage cheese, but my boys love it
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog from SITS :) I really love the bland and pink of your blog... so fun!
and isn't digiscrapping so addicting? I started about 3 years ago... I don't scrap much anymore, I mainly design...but I really should scrap at least a couple times a month
have a great weekend!
Pomegranate Blueberry... YUMMMM! what a great find. your blog is inspiring! have a happy saturday, joanna of simple blueprint.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I really like the taste of cottage cheese, but think it looks gross and I have to psych myself up to eat it LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog from SITS :)
Happy Saturday Sharefest! My sister loves cottage cheese and eats it daily. I am jealous and wish I did like it.
ReplyDeleteHey Lindsay~
ReplyDeleteThanks so very much for coming by my blog and for leaving such a sweet, sweet comment. I appreciate it and your prayers more than you know.
Now, as for this new cottage cheese you've discovered, well, all I can say is EEEWWWW!! That stuff is nasty. 8^) I'm glad you like it. I just can't stomach it. I'll have to get my protein somewhere else, like maybe a nice juicy steak, a Wendy's hamburger, a Chick-Fil-A sandwich, or maybe even just a PB&J sandwich or something! LOL!
Oh, and, YES, YES, YES! You MUST watch Private Practice since you like Grey's. It comes on right after and they are totally interlinked. Addyson, who used to be on Grey's, is one of the main characters. Plus, next week Bailey is going to be on PP and it looks like it is going to be totally awesome! However, you really need to get caught up some on the characters. Do you think you could go on HULA and watch ALL of last season's episodes before Thursday? ;0) Seriously, it is an amazing show and I find it incredibly hard to decide which one I like better. If you have any questions, just let me know.
HAPPY SATURDAY SHAREFEST!
Teresa <><
P.S. LOVE the pink!

I consider cottage cheese to be a pile of nasty, slimy curdled milk :)
ReplyDeleteIck, Ick, Ick.

ReplyDeleteI love cottage cheese! But I love your blog more! I just whipped up some cottage cheese with pumpkin and spices (no sugar or substitues)! I thought it was really tastey! XOXO
ReplyDeletethere are no ifs about cottage cheese--people love it or they hate it. I love it, and usually put some catalina dressing on it or a side of avacado if I need the main meal...thanks for stopping by and for the comment, glad I could make you laugh! I will give this Rachel's a try. Oh -- I am with you on Clnt Eastwood. My favorite movies with him are 'Play Misty for Me' (he's never been sexier) and 'Two Mules for Sister Sarah.'
