Cream Cheese ideas?

[caseysmom]

Thanks everyone, this all sounds great! Too bad I don't have enough CC to try them all. I love CC and I knew there was other stuff you could eat it on I was just drawing a blank. I think I'll go with putting them on graham crackers first. They're Nathan's favorite cracker so we always have them, he also likes CC, so we might try this together.

Can you believe my dad thinks CC is the most disgusting thing there is?! I have no idea what's wrong with him.

Thats how I feel about sour cream and everyone thinks I am crazy

Really? My kids love it and all their friends...can't make tacos without the stuff.

I LOVE sour cream! I can eat it by the spoonful!

One of my faves is taking a baking dish and putting in a layer of sour cream on the bottom, a layer of salsa, and then shredded jack and cheddar. Nuke or bake. Dig in with nacho chips. YUM!!!

Sour cream with plain chips if I don't have nacho chips.

Sour cream on chili with cheese.

Thin out the CC with sour cream.
Rotel makes a chile/tomato base that is pretty handy if you don't have salsa handy.
Add a layer of refried beans to this for filler.

That is one of my favourites! I love nacho cheese that is of an almost liquid consistency. Take a block or half block of Velveeta style cheese, cube it up, toss in a can of Rotel, and eat with chips.

Then go the extra step?

Diced tomatoes, lettuce, browned hamburger! Taco salad!

Take some lemon juice, dill and mix it with sour cream? GREAT on fish or fish tacos!

Since we are headed there.....

COTTAGE CHEESE!


I love cottage cheese, dortitos, sliced dill pickle chips and a Blood Mary!

That is a good idea!! I never thought to use it for taco salad. That is one I will definitely try!

I have never had a fish taco! I wonder what that is like!

Fish tacos?

It depends on where you go to get a FT.....

There are different 'recipes' - The FTs you get in Baja California are pretty much just a fried hunk of fish inside of a corn tortilla with salsa or cabbage.

The FTs you get in a restaurant here are breaded then fried and packe with a bunch of stuff....

I found this recipe and thought the cream cheese would be as good as the ricotta.

California Rolls
1cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
2(11-inch) flour tortillas
1medium tomato, thinly sliced
2cups stemmed, washed and torn fresh spinach leaves
1cup chopped onion
1/2teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2teaspoon dried basil
1cup alfalfa sprouts
4ounces sliced turkey breast


Preparation: 1.Spread cheese evenly over tortillas to within 1/4 inch of edges. Layer tomato, spinach, onion, oregano, basil, alfalfa sprouts and turkey over 2/3 of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour. Cut each rolled tortilla crosswise into 10 slices before serving.
