Hi Jan, WOW, it was sooooo yummy! Initially I wasn't sure about the cottage cheese part, but you couldn't even taste it. It was a true mouth *******! Thanks! Maryellen Can't wait to try the chicken parm. Please continue passing on the recipes. Thanks again!

I made a batch of this today. What I love most it is has so much protein because of the cottage cheese and the milk in the pudding.

Hi Maryellen - I used to go to Starbucks almost daily, I had tons of girt cert. from my birthday. Once I had to pay for it myself I changed! I decided I could do that at home, heck I watched them long enough to learn how. I buy DaVinci Sugar Free syrups (carmel and butter rum are my favs) and have a Senseo coffee maker (it makes one cup at a time). While in Europe this spring we also found they had tea pods for the maker so I bought the holder (it works in my machine) and I now make hot tea too. Love it! For the Chai tea misto, it's actually half hot Chai tea (from the bag) and half steamed non fat milk, I add Splenda. If you get it at Starbucks you need to tell them to make sure they use tea bags. The Chai syrup is way too sweet and I won't try it. I am so darn addicted to the Kay's Naturals! I even came up with a recipe for Healthy Chicken Parmesan and submited it to them - they in turn loved it and they are putting it in their next newsletter and sending me 2 free cases of my favorites! Boy was I happy!! I'll post the recipe for you guys. Jan

Hi Jan, I just ordered some samples from Kays. Can't wait to taste them. The lattes you buy, are they from Starbucks? Just curious. I didn't think they had the chai lattes sf? Maryellen
