[topazz 4]

I found these ideas online. I thought I'd share!

*Toast a muffin, spread Laughing Cow cheese on it, add some lettuce, a Tomato slice, and a couple slices of turkey bacon for a low point BLT.

*put it in a bowl and get it nice and soft. Add in a tiny bit of brown sugar splenda and mix. Spread it on an english muffin or a bagel...It’s like sweetened cream cheese.

*Put it in a bowl and add some chopped broccoli thats room temp and season to taste. Spread it on boneless skinless chicken breast that have been flattened. Roll up to resemble chicken cordon blu. seanson chicken and bake OR you roll in egg beaters and crushed garlic melba toast and bake for crispy baked chicken with broccoli and cheese filling..YUMMMYYYYY

*steam cauliflower in microwave with small amount of ff chicken broth and garlic salt and pepper. Then add the lcl (flavored is great) and kind of mush it up. It is awesome for 1 point!

*sliced open chicken breasts and stuffed them with mushrooms, spinach, and a wedge of garlic & herb laughing cow cheese.

One of my favorite things to mix with Laughing Cow is those seasoned tuna packets. I mix 2 wedges of LC with one packet of tuna and it it with dill pickles.. cuz tuna and dill pickles always go together

I do a grilled sausage and cheese sammy for Breakfast sometimes. The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

2 slices of bread

1 wedge laughing cow

1 slice 2% cheese

turkey sausage crumbles (I like jimmy dean)

Heat the sausage up (or cook regular turkey sausage then crumble). Lightly butter one side of one slice bread. Put in pan. Cover bread with slice cheese. Add turkey sausage to top of sliced cheese. Spread wedge cheese on other piece of bread, then lightly coat other side with butter. Add to top of sammich (yes, I said sammich) in the pan. Heat till lightly brown.

Normally I cannot eat bread, but this ends up toasted nicely and I can eat it just fine. It's also under 300 calories.

Recipe from the new Hungry Girl Under 300 Calorie cookbook. Fantastic book that I highly recommend!

I love the french onion laughing cow in a salad - I just break it into pieces and it takes the place of a dressing easily. We did this last night with a grilled chicken breast and spring salad and it was divine!

Thanks for posting these. I plan on using them - all of them!

[MyTurn 4]

I LOVE these suggestions! Can't wait to try them!! Thanks!!!

I love laughing cow cheese! I am definitely going to try the Alfredo sauce recipe. I also like to use laughing cow cheese in my chicken salad and tuna salad instead of mayo. Thanks for posting!

I am impressed with all the various recipes, and glad you're all enjoying them so much.

With no disrespect, what is all the fasination with food? As I move along the banded journey, I keep becoming less ans less interested in food, or eating for that matter.

I used to think and fantasize about food all the time. But now it is way down on my list of things.

I don't feel like eating that much anymore.

Come to a WLS website to get off on food. To be skinny, one will have to think and eat like a skinny person does.

Sorry, just had to say.

I don't mean any disrespect either, but why do you care if people are posting recipes? Just because we have a band now, we are not supposed to think about food? Food is still a major factor in everyday life. This post is one of the many posts that offer a lower calorie and fat alternative to some typically high calorie fatty foods. I have a family to cook for, and it's nice to have these recipes and ideas.

I am glad you don't think of food much anymore, but I don't think the majority of us are that lucky. If it bothers you that much, why do you even look at the recipes?

You said it! These are some good recipes. I just found the LC French Onion....very mild. I like the herb and garlic on some crispy baguette crackers.

I think I actually think about food more. I dunno, maybe years of dealing with food and issues regarding it. I would love to be in a place where I didn't really care about it, but don't know if that would happen without therapy!
