    I have melted them and used them to dip fresh veggies, mainly carrots, in. They're also good in wraps. A wrap, some turkey, a laughing cow wedge, and some light dressing makes a pretty good little wrap.

    I use the garlic and herb cheese wedge for mashed cauliflower. Tastes almost like mashed potatoes to me. Yum!

    I also just discovered the Laughing Cow cheese wedges and love, love, love them. I'm going to have to try some of these ideas, especially using them as a spread instead of mayo and on omelettes. Thanks.

    I get it from Costco in the cheese/fridge section but many grocery stores have it in their deli - it's sometimes with the "fancy" cheese, not the regular dairy.

    It might seem weird but it's good on a banana. I also make a cream pasta sauce with it (1 wedge with 2 T light sour cream and 2t parmigiana cheese is for 1 serving pasta).

    I mix the Fresco Queso Chipotle flavor with shredded chicken, black beans, whole kernal corn, and sauteed onions and peppers, and then use the mixture to make quesadillas. Yummy!

    Here is the recipe I sent out in a recipe exchange email recently, but the quantities and ingredients are easily adjustable to your tastes:


    Chicken Quesadillas

    2/3 cup cooked, shredded chicken
    1/2 cup whole kernel corn, rinsed and drained
    1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
    1/4 cup chopped green and red bell peppers
    1/8 cup diced onions
    3 wedges Laughing Cow light cheese (both Queso Fresco & Chipotle and Sun Dried Tomato Basil are good)
    1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
    2 La Tortilla Factory 100-calorie tortillas
    8 Tbsp salsa (for dipping)

    - Sauté onions and bell peppers in a small pan coated with cooking spray 3 minutes or until desired doneness.
    - Add corn and black beans, mix.
    - Add Laughing Cow cheese wedges, mix until melted.
    - Add chicken and cook until heated through.
    - Place tortilla in large skillet, top with chicken mixture, Mozzarella cheese, and second tortilla.
    - Cook on alternating sides until tortilla is as crispy as desired.
    - Cut into 8 wedges, serve, and enjoy!

    Servings: 4
    Serving size: 2 wedges w/ 2 Tbsp salsa
    Calories per serving: 223

    Stir fry some shredded cabbage just until slightly soft, add canned tuna or chicken and 1-2 wedges of LC cheese for a yummy, super low cal lunch!

    Love the laughing cow!

    I make stuffed chicken breasts with the garlic one. I also use it to give a creamy texture to pasta (cook the pasta in chicken broth, keep some of the broth and mix in a laughing cow and some veggies and whatever other seasonings and let it mix/boil down to the right texture. Yum!)

    I love the Garlic and herb cheese on Rosemary Olive Oil Tricuits- yum

    I find mine at Walmart, where the specialty cheeses are (in a separate case by the Deli)

    Aloutte Light cheese is another good, and similar product. The Herb and Garlic lite one is the same or a bit lower in Cal then the Laughing cow, and very yummy also. Comes in a small tub.

    All good on tortillas, wrapped around some turkey or chicken breast. or lunch meat.

    Love love LOVE laughing cow cheeses. I don't know what I would do without them. A lot of people have mentioned these, but here is how I've used mine...

    *Spread on celery
    *In my egg scrambles
    *on my bagel thins
    *In my tuna fish (instead of mayo)
    *In pasta. Like someone mentioned, Hungry Girl uses these in a lot of recipes. I made one of their recipes for a cheesy cauliflower bake and it used these. DELICIOUS!

    Really, this cheese works for anything! I can't believe it tastes so good and is so low in calories. I mostly stick to garlic and herb if I am mixing it with anything (eggs, sandwiches, etc) and I use the bleu cheese when I am putting it on my celery and on bagels. They also have little bite sized "cubes" in the swiss flavor and those are pretty tasty for just a snack! Yum!

    I can't wait to check out the website. Thanks for sharing!
