    Laughing Cow is great but it's still a manufactured food product - meaning that it's filled with lots of weird ingredients that I'm not so sure I want to be putting in my body (at least not in large quantities). Anyhow, I LOVED Laughing Cow but cut out all processed foods. What's a girl to do? Make your own!

    Okay, I promise it's not that hard, in fact it's super easy (two ingredients). See below:

    Step 1: Mix 16 ounces of plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt with 1/2 tsp salt (or less, if desired). IMPORTANT: Make sure your yogurt doesn't include gelatin or stabilizers - the ingredients should just be milk and active cultures. Chobani brand works extraordinarily well.
    Step 2: Drop mixture into a cheesecloth. Collect the corners of the cheesecloth and hang over a bowl in the fridge so that they whey (watery mixture) can drip out
    Step 3: Allow to sit for 24 hours, or until desired dryness is achieved. It will yield approximately 11 ounces. (And only has 25.5 calories per ounce!)
    Step 4: Enjoy!

    This "cheese" (actually called labneh, with origins in the Middle East) has the slight tang of the yogurt, and the texture of goat cheese (SOO much better than those processed wedges!). Personalize to your tastes by adding herbs and spices. Tonight I added dill and a pinch chile verde sea salt and spread it on tomatoes, it works well as a dip for veggies, spread for sandwiches and it also melts beautifully.

    Enjoy!

    I am addicted to LC cheese and cannot wait to try this myself! Thank you!!!

    I take a couple of triangles of Laughing Cow, mix with a bit of white wine and shallots or garlic, minced. Heat and serve over broccoli and cauliflower.

    Oh.
    My.
    Gosh!

    Like so many others have said, I've only eaten LCC on crackers or spread into a sandwich as a mayo replacement. I am soooo excited about these recipes! I've copied & pasted a bunch of them into a Word doc so I can print them out & put them into use pronto!

    THis is so simple....I steam broccoli (I like mine pretty soft). Put it in a bowl and stir a wedge of Laughing Coaw French Onion into it and nuke it just a little more to make sure it is nice and hot. Tastes almost like broccoli casserole and only adds 35 cals to that boring broccoli. Let's face it, we eat TONS of plain broccoli. Anything that can jazz it up is a blessing to me. Love Laughing Cow.



    YUM!!!
