Cottage Cheese Is My Friend, and Bob's too

Now that I'm eating better, cottage cheese is one of my favorite foods, and I must have it on hand continually. It tastes great and is easy to dish up and eat with very little preparation. In fact, when it gets down to the bottom of the container, you don't even need a separate bowl! I especially enjoy it with garlic powder sprinkled gently or liberally (depending on my mood) on top and then mixed in for an all-over great taste.

Miraculously I got Bob to taste my 1% Old Home cottage cheese last week. And he likes it!! In the past he was not willing to even try dairy products with less than full-bore fat content. (I need to moderate that by saying we do buy 2% milk. I'm not a milk drinker, so it doesn't matter to me whether we have skim or 2%.) So when we were at Walmart a couple of days ago, he looked to see if they carried 1% cottage cheese. They do not. BUT they have fat-free Land O Lakes. And miracle of miracles, he put a big tub of it in our cart! He said that since it was a major brand and since the 1% tasted so good, it was most likely just as delicious as the 1% Old Home. Besides, we were tired and Bob didn't want to stop at Cub; he just wanted to go straight home and collapse in his recliner. I agreed I too was looking forward to my recliner. So hooray for another improved food item in our refrigerator!
