Dairy-Free Cottage Cheese


I can’t honestly remember the last time I’ve had cottage cheese since I’ve become lactose intolerant 13 years ago. I came across this Lactaid Cottage Cheese at the local market and I was so excited! This is a great substitution if you love lasagna but can’t have the mass amount of cheese it has. We can use this for a ricotta cheese substitution or even a creek cheese substitution in baking recipes. What a great find!

Good Morning! A simple and delicious breakfast of champs!


20140328-071450.jpg

Coffee with Almond/Coconut milk (of course).

Steel cut oats (1/2 cup) with a sliced banana, blueberries and strawberries. Drizzle a tiny bit of honey if you have a sweet tooth!

Note: I use bananas that are not as ripe because very ripe bananas have a higher sugar content as well as a higher glycemic index!

Breakfast of champs.  Tried a new place out today and absolutely loved it!!!  Corned beef hash with two poached eggs.  We (attempted) to share a pecan roll too!
