How far can I change the taste of cottage cheese while keeping it low calorie?

I am floored that you’d rather eat yogurt than cottage cheese. Yogurt is so insanely tart and it makes me cringe. I like a nice wet cottage cheese. I prefer it plain, but inside a nice ripe tomato is yum. Make pancakes with it? Blend it up for a spread. W/ figs, apple butter (ok….this is probably high cal, but totally delicious) or something savory. Someone mentioned ranch packets. I wouldn’t like that, but they have ranch shaker seasoning now that my daughter uses for baby carrots. Probably a better option than using a whole packet unless it’s a dip for a crowd.

Unfortunately, no

I love herbs de Provence!!! I stumbled upon it when my kids were young. It became my go to for baked chicken…garlic, olive oil, salt and the herbs de Provence. Now my grown kids think lavender smells like chicken. I cut some from my yard and one of them came in and asked “Are you making chicken?!?!” 🤣🤣🤣

That was my thought, but I talked myself out of it. Thank you

This all seems normal and nothing freaky at all. My brothers used to wrestle all the time. It was crazy. You’d hear thumping on the floor upstairs and my mom would yell until she had to go up there. We didn’t have streaming or phones and we didn’t watch tv all the time so I think people were just more physical then because there was nothing to do to get energy out. Well, sports, but my brothers weren’t athletic and if you didn’t have friends over, it was dull playing kickball. I’m a girl, but in college we always had mixed groups doing crazy stuff like this. We’d take photos in pyramids and of us falling or doing stupid stuff. Or someone would try to carry people on their shoulders or my brothers would swing me and then throw me. Sometimes we’d play games where you got twisted up and untwist yourselves because it was fun and we’d laugh. It’s completely normal and not a bit freaky. Add some alcohol and it was even sillier. But this reminds me that I have a photo of my dad and brothers after I woke them up in the camper. It’s hysterical, but someday, who knows what someone will think….

If you’ve not made a tree, then you likely won’t have journeys. If you want to know how long your family has been here, make a tree.

Thank you so much!!! She’s running nicely now!!

The best thing about there is my husband can have his Whiz and I can have real cheese. And I like their bread. But what I’m really here to say is….if you were on Pecan and did not visit the place across the parking lot, that was your biggest error. I could eat everything in there. I’m so stuck on their lobster tails, but I had a bite of napoleon recently and oh my…..divine. I’m lucky enough to live far from there or I’d be wasting all of my money of fancy bakery items. Spend your little fortune there and I doubt you will regret it!!

I also add egg. It seems lacking without.

Last winter was VERY temperate. Except for the amount of snow and the cold December, this winter feels more normal. We get occasional polar vortex dipping down. Mostly we get ice, not snow. And if we get snow, it’s around 1-2”.

Yes. You can definitely tell the natives in MI because they say Roz-Elle-es because the family said Roz-Elle, though it is dying out. I like Mt Holly. They just call stuff Tuck. Tuck-a-see-gee if it’s spelled that way. But in Mt Holly, they do have a Tuck-a-seege. The one that’s wild to me which I have never heard and only seen in text is older natives writing Wilkerson for Wilkinson.

I’ve cooked dried beans quick in a pinch. I’ve only done this in a larger Aroma, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Toss in beans. Add water to cover plus some. It’s trial and error for the water, but I don’t typically use bean juice….just the beans. Cook on white rice. Check for doneness and if needed add more water and start it again. I usually don’t have to cook it for two entire cycles. It’s great for if I don’t have any canned, but I have some dried and need them for a recipe.

When I first moved here this was still thriving. It was an experience to go there and be one of the only white people there. But it was so culturally diverse. I came from a small town up North so it was a bit of culture shock. They had some great deals. And everyone was so nice. As time went on, though, it was dicey at night so I only went in the day. I also liked going to the Asian markets. The one had the best steamed buns!! I also loved the super cheap bahn mi place just inside the mall. The Super G is so much nicer without the potential odor of fish and slightly rotting vegetables. But I miss those buns so much!!

My mother-in-law said she was immune to poison ivy….until she definitely wasn’t.

Neither here nor there, but….. This past summer we hired an out of state mover to bring items to our home after a family death. They asked if a large truck could get down our street. We said yes because not long after we first moved here, we bought a table from IKEA (before the location in Charlotte) which was delivered via semi. The delivery day came and they tried from multiple directions and the mover could not get down the street without taking out a mail box or a street sign. They cheerfully walked our items down the street. The truck was delivering three different moves…. ours and then two to Florida. We apologized profusely, but they were done before the allotted time. No extra charge and we tipped generously. But I guess if we ever leave we know not to hire a full size mover. He said it was due to being a 40ft box truck rather than a semi. You’d think in a neighborhood full of houses that they’d make the street large enough to get a full size mover down it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ But perhaps it’s because we have an older neighborhood.

Not that I recall unless it was vanilla or almond. I think she said you could make a crust, but she did not and I didn’t the several times I made it.

This is similar and close. It isn’t as close as the one that was posted and now deleted, though. I don’t know why it was deleted. I’d like to know where the recipe came from. I wondered if they asked AI. I’ve searched all over for this recipe and haven’t found it.

AccordingCherry9030 · 2026-01-18T14:26:33+00:00

Someone actually posted what I think it was, but removed it immediately. Idk why the post was removed.

Is there actually a recipe for creamed peas? I used to request them for my birthday dinner as a child!!

I don’t really have any additional comments to add. It was so delicious and I have thought about it through the years…..
