Cottage Cheese Queso

 I've made homemade queso but I actually like this one better. It's super fast and easy and quite high in protein. CakebyCourtney shared it a few months ago and we've been making it ever since. 

1 cup cottage cheese

3/4 cup shredded cheese (ideally a Mexican blend) but I use Colby jack from Costco (sometimes I use less)

splash of milk to blend but let it be a thick as it can

taco seasoning to taste

Blend it all up, put in a glass dish and heat before eating. We keep it in the fridge and reheat until it's gone. 

Iced Oatmeal Bars

 I would bake these in a cookie sheet next time just to see if they cook quicker and can get more out of it. Don't go over the time. It will look jiggly but will firm up as it cools

Gluten Free Dairy Free Crepes

2nd recipe I've tried, but my favorite so far. I would omit the vanilla for savory

Mel's Hawaiian Haystacks

 Mel's Kitchen Cafe Hawaiian Haystacks 

Made a huge batch of this for the missionaries (should have made more) but it turned out super tasty. No cream of chicken. I subbed the flour for corn starch and just add a bit less. I thought it looked pale but it went great with all our toppings including B's beloved pineapple and whipped topping.

Easy Lemon Curd to Freeze

 Loved that I didn't have to separate eggs for this one.  Sets up really well in the fridge.
