    aha, just saw your post about the "healthier" cookies....so put a small dollap of the cream cheese on top and half of a strawberry, like I do with "unhealthier" cookies and voila !

    I prefer Philadelphia brand cream cheese, but my son loves Laughing Cow. He eats it plain or on crackers. I eat Philadelphia in all sorts of sinful ways...(on shortbread cookie and then topped with half a strawberry is like a mini-cheesecake).
    :D Love the creativity!

    Mini Babybel light also Philladephia light. Big fan of both of these :happy:

    The Philly spread is bit higher fat than the Laughing Cow but more tasty on toast or a jacket potato for my taste buds

    I only ever use cream cheese on bagels, I'll have to try baked potato.

    Thanks everyone for the insight, I don't know how my cheese story will turn out, I was just looking for suggestions and thanks for giving them. I've been reevaluating my food choices (as I'm sure we all are here) and just looking at the possibilities. I am not suggesting anyone restrict themselves completely from food they enjoy!. <3

    I like the blue cheese flavoured one stirred through sauteed leeks as a quick sauce.

    On their own, the sort of bland flavour works best with a strong flavoured cracker - my current favourite is black pepper ryvita.

    I love the leek idea. I usually just add a bit of butter to my leeks as a side dish.

    I have that same cheese addiction problem lol
    I also choose quality over quantity, and actually I prefer to eat "strong" cheese like bleu or goat cheese, and that way I eat less of them.
    I think real cheese lovers don't like "laughing cow" ;) Apart from sandwiches, you can also add it in soups for example, but honestly it doesn't taste like cheese.

    When I started MFP I thought I would never be able to have good cheese in my fridge and not eat way more than 30g, but actually I can!!

    Stinky cheese lovers united ;) Good luck!

    When we forgot lunch and money for school dinners we used to get a triangle of cheese, two digestive biscuits, a yoghurt and an apple.

    The sweet biscuits actually went quite nicely with it, but I can never really seperate the idea of cheese triangles as a punishment.

    I'm pretty sure Laughing Cow is the brand of Babybel.


    Personally I love both though haha. I just eat the triangles or the mini babybel rounds by themselves :)

    I just had Philadelphia light chive and onion cream cheese on thin rice cakes and it had plenty of flavours and came in at 15 cal for the Philly.

    Thanks for the support! I made a goat cheese and roasted vegetable sandwich about a week ago, I just gave half to my bf, problem solved! :D
    I generally don't eat heavily processed food, and I understand why after trying laughing cow! I swear I used to like it when I was a kid, but I liked Kool Aid and twinkies as well and I wouldn't eat that stuff now!

    That sounds like an okay lunch to me! Cheese punishment made me laugh.

    I usually have the light ones (25 calories each) with some reduced fat wheat thins and fresh fruit, like grapes or strawberries or blackberries. Salty-sweet-creamy :)

    Hey everyone I am a big lover of cheese and because of the high calories in a lot of my favorite cheeses, and seeing people mention it on MFP, I decided to buy some laughing cow light cheese triangles. I tried one spread on a cracker and it was not super tasty. The processed nature of the cheese leads me to think it would be good melted, like american cheese on a burger. So how do you eat your cheese triangles? I was thinking of adding them to omelets and melted onto chili.

    I really don't think those are very good. Maybe they could be used in cooking, but on a cracker or sandwich, the taste and feel is kind of repulsive to me, and way too expensive for what it is. I just choose to watch the portion sizes on cheese that actually is cheese and tastes good.

    I had the chipotle flavor and spread it onto a whole wheat tortilla, added some fat free refried beans, rolled it up and drizzled a little red sauce over, warmed it up and had a very good burrito.

    I spread them over the Cocopop light airy rice thingies. Crunch and creaminess for under 50 calories (it's 51 total, but I can't make one and not have kids at my side asking for a bite).
