Laughing cow cheeses have been a life saver. I have craved a rich and creamy sauce, over pasta, over anything! I am also a big fan of gravy....any kind, country, brown it doesnt matter. I have found though that a wedge of laughing cow light swiss or light french onion melted over a cup of mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots are my favorite) will cure my craving and at only 35 calories per wedge it's soooo much better than alfredo sauce.

    The herbed flavor is really good with some sauteed veggies in scrambled eggs in the morning. It makes a delicious quasi-omelette. I cube it into little pieces and then toss it in the pan for the last couple of minutes after the eggs have set. Try it!

    Get the herbed kind & spread on a lower calorie tortilla. Add a little bit of pizza sauce & maybe some turkey pepperoni & microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Roll it up for a quick little pizza roll-up!

    Love that stuff!

    That's a great idea! Way to think outside the box. I love the Laughing Cow wedge, so I will have to try that some time.

    So do you melt it before you put it on the veggies, or is the heat from the veggies enough??

    It is amazing, isn't it? I love to eat the Swiss with grapes or apples. The blue cheese is good too. I have these mini sweet peppers right now and have been stuffing them with it. yum!

    It doesn't take much heat to melt them. I steamed some veggies last night for my lunch today and threw a wedge into the container with it. About 30 seconds in the microwave and a little shake had all the veggies coated nicely!

    I've have never seen the flavoured ones, have any of my fellow Canucks ever come across them? Or are they just not available in Canada? :o(

    I live in Alberta and have seen some of the flavored ones at the Super Wal-Mart and Safeway in the gourmet food section. Happy hunting!!
