If you have read my blog at all, you know I love cheese. Cheese is just one of the reasons I could never go back to vegan. There are many great and yummy vegan foods, but vegan cheese is just not one of them. My favorites are goat cheese, feta, Brie, Camembert, Swiss, Provolone, cheddar, Colby-jack, Montery Jack; O.k. I think you get the idea. I love them all! So I was particularly intrigued by the many whipped cheese recipes on Pinterest recently. I was thinking about them tonight when I was going through my fridge, freezer, and cabinets to get a food check.

Whipped Feta

1/3 of a container of cream cheese, 1/2 container of goat cheese, a couple of tablespoons of olive oil

Put in your food processor and whip. Use as a spread on sandwiches, crostini, flat breads, or pizza. Use as a dip for chips, pita, apples, etc. So yummy!

I just made enough for one serving, so no exact measurements…
Add a drop of 2 of Sriracha for a kick!
Can’t stop eating sun-dried tomatoes!

Creamy sun-dried tomato spread

Most mornings I wake up just wanting coffee. Then by late morning, I start to get pretty hungry. I want a little snack or light lunch, and I want to make something easy, yet healthy. So this morning I was taking stock of what I needed to buy at the store later and found an unopened bottle of sun-dried tomatoes in the back of the fridge. I immediately opened them up and had one. I love the tart chewy taste of these little beauties. They are so versatile; you can chop them up and throw them in a salad, on top of a pizza, in a sandwich, or make them in to a spread. I decided to make a spread. All you need is a food processer and these…

You can make a batch of this and keep it in the fridge for future snacking. It would be a great dip for pita, bagel, or tortilla chips. You could spread it on a sandwich instead of mayo or mustard. It would be lovely on little toasted baguettes, like a tapenade. It would even be great for entertaining or bringing to parties. I spread mine on a piece of wheat toast for a healthy snack!
