    Roasted butternut squash. We grew some in our garden this year-- peel and seed it, dice it. Toss with EVOO and some salt and pepper and maybe some garlic or onion powder. 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. Top with a little REAL butter. So creamy I could die.

    We made some really awesome spicy pickles from cukes we grew. I can only eat like, 2 pieces at a time 'cause they pack some serious heat but they have the best flavor.

    Lowfat cottage cheese

    Favorite brand?

    Is this for marketing research? Haha! I like Good Culture branded.

    Always curious what people are buying :)

    I was just about to write the same thing!

    There's a vendor at my favorite green market that sells pickled everything (as well as some tasty spicy sauces), and while I of course go to the green market for fresh produce I always pick up something from them. Currently into pickled green beans. I should just make them all myself (as I do with pickled onions), but so far have not.

    Now I am really craving some pickled okra.

    Does pickling okra make it more palatable? One of my least favorite vegetables :/

    Cold watermelon sprinkled with sea salt!

    A liberal dosing of salt is pretty much a fundamental requirement to eat any kind of fruit!

    The idea of putting salt on my fruit makes me cringe... you guys really enjoy that..?
    I can see oranges to knock out some of the acidity, but I'd never use more than a tiny bit. Lol.
    I don't know, maybe I just hate salt? Haha. I don't even keep any in my house. If I do any baking I usually have to ask my mom or a neighbor if I can use some of theirs, because if I buy a container of it it'll sit in my cupboard for literally years.

    Ha! I like salt and don’t care much for fruit. No way I could eat fruit without some kind of ‘flavor’ on top—salt, dip, peanut butter...could never in a thousand million years just eat a piece of plain fruit. Salt is always handy and least caloric, so when I do have the occasional fruit dish, it’s my go to.

    If your issue is texture, pickling makes okra a whole different experience. I love okra anyway I can get it, but pickling makes it tart and crisp and crunchy and delicious. Especially in a nice Bloody Mary!

    Lowfat cottage cheese

    Favorite brand?

    Nordica for me.

    I love you guys for this.
    I’m soooo brand specific for my CC, but I can rarely remember which one I really like best... I’m constantly comparison testing.

    I still drool over the memory of pickled green beans, garlicky and spicy and mustard seed studded and awesome.

    Childhood.
    Never found them ‘quite right’ in stores.
    Haven’t thought to make them, although I have been doing a ton of ferments. Thanks for the reminder!

    Prawns grilled with most of my lunches - I vary the vegetables between roast, steamed and chargrilled to go with them.
    Always loved seafood.

    What’s been your favorite so far?? Cottage cheese is one of those things that’s so regional! Haha. Like me, I have never heard of Nordica..

    I bought this huge seedless watermelon...then wondered how 2 people were going to finish it. I did share part of it, but we are almost done. It's so good and sweet and juicy!
    I also love coffee and chocolate...

    I’m on a local creamery kick (Humboldt creamery is a fave) but I also really like the organic store brand at Safeway.
    Knudsen in a pinch.
    Nancy’s is too tangy for me, Trader Joe’s too whey-y, and (although I keep trying to like it) the crystal just lacks the right silkiness but I like the short ingredient list..

    Tried good culture...thought texture was messed up/didn't like gumminess. Maybe I got a bad batch, exp date was good but cottage cheese is notoriously slightly inconsistent even from batch to batch (even from brands like friendship & breakstone). Always check exp dates because CC does not exactly fly off the shelves because of how polarizing it can be (I commonly find expired ones on shelves all the time/at least once a week at a variety of grocery stores)

    In our house we’re currently going crazy on cauliflower rice. We buy the frozen steam bags of regular rice and cauliflower rice with are the same size bags but rice has 360 cals in 1 bag vs 60 cals in 1 bag of cauliflower. We’re impressed!

    Same here! I've been hooked on riced cauliflower lately too. I've been buying the huge bags from Costco. It's so good with hot sauce on it and super low calorie. Yum.

    If you like pickled things, yes! But I also love okra.
