Hi Anthea,
I strongly dislike cottage cheese. ?It makes me gag, so I must add ingredients to cover up the taste and texture. ? First I mix the FOCC with an immersion blender and let it sit for 3 or 4 minutes. ?Then I mash up some fruit and stir it into the FOCC with a few drops of stevia and vanilla extract. ?For a savory FOCC, I use some chopped herbs - cilantro, dill, scallions, a dab of Dijon mustard, maybe some capers - and fold these into the FOCC to make a dip for carrots, celery, etc. ?
Regarding dinner. ?It¡¯s a challenge for me because I¡¯m Italian and love pasta!! ?Sometimes I gently simmer some chopped plum tomatoes with a little basil, fresh garlic and a drop of honey to cut the acid. ?I serve over spaghetti squash with some grated Parmesan cheese and a little crushed red pepper. ?Sometimes I make a gremolata by mincing fresh garlic together with lemon zest or lemon peel, parsley and a bit of sea salt. ?I sprinkle it on lightly steamed vegetables (zucchini or eggplant) and add a little dash of real balsamic vinegar (no sugar added, only made with grape must). ?
?
I hope this helps!
Best,
Marilyn
