Flashbacks to culinary school.....

Hey all! I know that my posts are few and far between, but I really enjoy reading everything that goes on here.  You all are great!   I just wanted to share a little something I came up with this weekend, while I was playing in the kitchen!  Do you know all those yummy dip mixes that everyone loves to dip crackers,veggies and other stuff into?  Well, I have found a version for all you protein craving WLS folks!  Get whatever dip mix you like.  (I am a fan of the tasefully simple ones, if I am not concocting my own.)  Take your 2% Cottage Cheese from kemps and give it a whirl in your food processor until smooth and then add your dip ingredients.  Voila!  High protein yummy goodness.  It ends up being tangier than if you use mayo and/or sour cream, but is is sure tasty.  Even my hubby liked it.  I just finished my fifth nutritionist appt today and I am excited that next month is the last one before I submit to insurance!  So look for more of these crazy tips and ideas coming from me as I get ready for the flip side!!!  :) Jeanne

That sounds like a GREAT recipe.  You think the fat free cottage cheese would be okay too?

Thanks, can't wait for more!

 

I think it would be ok as long as there wasn't excess whey (the liquidy stuff) in it.  If there is a lot of whey, then drain it off  and try it.  It wouldn't hurt!  :)

Thanks for the great idea Jeanne! It sounds good and easy too. You are getting closer to the final stage...let us know how it goes. We are all cheering you on! connie d

Wow, wouldn't it be fun to start a WLS cooking Group?  Just a thought or at least exchange great receipes

That would be sooooooooooo fun!  My husband is trying to get me to write a WLS cookbook.  He thinks it is the way to make my millons.  (probably better than the lottery tickets that I have been trying thus far!)

That's a downright AWESOME idea!!!  I always buy 1% cottage cheese, but heck - pop that in my Bullet and YAY!!!   I have a load of dip mixes - some from Tastefully Simple, some from Homemade Gourmet, some from At Home America, some from craft shows....  NOW I think I may actually get to try them!  THANKS, JEANNE!!!
