Now I want some cheese with cucumbers! Jennifer Peanut Butter and Peppers on April 18, La Vache Qui Rit was a popular cheese when I studied in for a semester in ' I liked it then and am happy to have it here now!
I like how everyone is offering up their ideas on how to use them! The blue cheese one is great mixed with a can of chicken or leftover chicken and with a little Frank's hot sauce for some buffalo chicken dip. I agree with Cristina, though, that cheese isn't meant to be low-fat or light. They have a lot of extra additives and don't melt well!
However, I do like Laughing Cow as a spreadable option. Carrie Season It Already! I found a knockoff at Aldi and it's great, too! Their wedges are a bit smaller and only 25 cals each. Just one flavor, though. What a good idea to put it on cukes with paprika.
That's a keeper idea! I like to use the wedges on my sandwiches and especially in wraps I found some Ezekiel break tortilla wraps that are out of this world! I love those babies piled high with fresh veggies and some LC wedges inside and some deli meat and i'm in heaven.
Lunch, anyone? Angie M. The queso fresco and chipotle flavor is REALLY good when melted, and I use the garlic and herb flavor as a cream cheese substitute almost daily. Right now I'm stalking their new cream cheese flavors, hoping they'll appear in one of my local grocery stores any minute now Oh and the BabyBel rounds are also very good!
Marla on April 18, Buying the multi packs at Sam's or Costco is far cheaper than a single pack in the store! Unfortuneatly you don't always have a variety choice : Love this cheese! You can substitute it in so many recipes for breakfast, lunch, snacks dinner! Caroline on April 18, I recently bought some cinnamon flavored hadn't seen it before but my husband keeps stealing it! Heather on April 18, Laughing cow is great -- I buy it at BJ's where it's much cheaper than the grocery store. Ellen on April 18, A wedge of the garlic and herb smeared on half of a light toasted whole grain english muffin and topped with a few bits of roasted pepper--now THAT'S a satisfying snack and all for under calories!
Caren on April 18, I'm so glad you did an article on cheese! I LOVE cheese and have been struggling trying to find a way to incorporate it into my diet. I always see these laughing cow cheeses and have wondered how good they were and how good for you. I'm definitely going to pick some up on my next trip to the store.
Thank you!! Brittani on April 18, I love Laughing Cow so much! My favorite is the Light Swiss wedge-perfect to dip carrot sticks in. I also substitute the wedges for other cheese in wraps and even "grilled" cheese in the oven. Kailey on April 18, Hey, have you laughed today? Brenda the Barefootcookingirl on April 18, Portion control and portable! I have about 10 packages in my fridge right now! All kinds of flavors! I love their new Cinnamon Creme flavor has 45 calories I put it on mini cinnamon bagels, add some fresh fruit and my morning beverage and I am good to go for under calories and quick out the door breakfast.
Costco has the cheapest price on these but you have to buy it in bulk pack. Their expiration date is into the next decade LOL! If you watch for sales on these, you can get them even cheaper as they tend to be a bit pricey in regular grocery store every day sales price. Walmart also has a good price and I find my local Walgreens, Sav-On and other big chain drug stores sometimes has great sales on these as well in their food section.
So does Trader Joe's. I can't even remember the last time I paid grocery store price. They also do not need refrigeration, so you can put them in your purse they do get mushy soft for a quick snack on the road. I put them in a little plastic container with a snap lid, cheese wedge, couple of crackers, a small tangelo or apple and I am ready to face any hunger dragon I may meet on my day of errands. Catzz on April 18, I'm a fan of all the flavors haven't found the cream cheese yet, but I'm psyched for that!
Pretty satisfying! The blue cheese and spicy chipotle or something similar are quite tasty. Sarah Semi-Sweet on April 18, We keep loads of it in our fridge from Sam's Club and have spread them on cukes by themselves or on Wasa with the cukes on top. MotherRocker on April 18, Crystal Farms also makes a similar product now, with several flavors.
They're good too, and much cheaper. Linda on April 18, Stacy on April 18, While it is true that fat doesn't make you fat, we eat way way way too much fat for a healthy diet and especially saturated fats which are a part of cheese.
If we can cut the fat content and still have a tasty snack - which is still filling then I say go for it. I think that is a healthy choice we can count on. I have tried the Crystal Farms cheese wedges all flavors and I find them to be an odd texture slick, waxy and the flavor not as intense or yummy as Laughing Cow - but in a pinch I do buy them but they are not my first choice.
I mix a French Onion cheese cut up with a raw egg white and nuke it for a bit and it's sooooo good for a low cal snack or on a piece of bread, crackers, name your poison for a quick breakfast with a piece of fruit. Lourdes on April 18, I love cheese and I have loved the laughing cow cheese folr a long time. Your right it is the only low fat cheese I have tried that tastes like cheese. Eva on April 18, Laughing cow has totally replaced my need for cream cheese.
I even spread it on the top of a veggie omelet to add a cheesy flavor to it. The mini's are also good and only 50 calories. Thanks, Snack Girl, for alerting us to what's out there in case we miss it!! Best of all, the finished product contains far fewer additives and preservatives than most processed cheeses. The Laughing Cow texture and taste is at its best when its kept refrigerated, however due to high temperatures used during the production process The Laughing Cow has a long shelf life and is safe to consume when kept out of the fridge in a cool dry place.
Each cup contains just calories and a mere mg of sodium, which is pretty manageable for such an indulgent treat. Be aware, however, that the pure dairy makeup of this snack means that saturated fat is a little high: 6g of saturated fat per serving. Answer: Cheese can typically sit out at room temperature anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the type, and remain safe to eat. Soft cheeses have a relatively high moisture content, which in turn encourages bacterial growth, so leftovers should be refrigerated as soon as possible.
According to Sarah Hill, Manager of Cheese Education and Training for the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, cheese can be left at room temperature for up to two hours, as can all perishable foods.
Soft cheeses such as cream cheese, cottage cheese, shredded cheeses, and goat cheese must be refrigerated for safety. As a general rule, hard cheeses such as cheddar, processed cheeses American , and both block and grated Parmesan do not require refrigeration for safety, but they will last longer if kept refrigerated. The cheese will stay good through the expiration date printed on the outer packaging, as long as it is kept refrigerated properly. After opening the individual packaging, we recommend eating the cheese right away.
Exposure to air will dry out the cheese. As they do contain dairy, The Laughing Cow products are suitable for lacto-vegetarian diets. During World War I, trucks carrying meat to the French front lines carried the logo of a cow drawn by Benjamin Rabier.
