Re: Help, I love cheese!

[Guest guest]

There is a recipe in The Gradual Vegetarian that I think calls for cottage

cheese in Mac & Cheese. But I don't recall that it's very binding.

Yes, In fact how my mom makes lasagna is to put cottage cheese, low fat

ricotta, and eggs in the blender till its smooth and use that in the layers.

I did something similar sunday with pasta and pesto and veges.

Altho I am a cheesemeister myself, I dont think I have ever used

cheese in a casserole(?) perhaps ON some enchiladas or such but my

other choice to use in a casserole is soup. Yep the s soup

thats holds the traditional greenbean dish together works well with

other stuff too:

A couple of casserole ones on here:

and at the s soup site:

topping ones! lol!)

When I do casseroles, I leave a small part (like 1/5 of the top) with just a

little cheese, for me. Of course this won't work if you put the cheesy goodness

throughout your casserole. : ) I don't bother with lowfat, I just use a tiny

amount.

Help, I love cheese!

I find that, probably once a week, we find ourselves with

nothing to

make for dinner, and on those days, I can usually scrounge together

enough little pieces from the cupboards and freezer to make a

casserole. But what makes it all come together? Cheese.

Lowfat cheese is hard to come by here, but I *can* get lowfat cottage

cheese. Has anyone tried making a casserole with cottage cheese? I

haven't dared yet, but maybe someone can confirm that it is possible.

Anyone??
