Notes from My Kitchen

I don't plan on indulging in any candy corn this year! (It's my weakness.) So this is my strategy to avoid temptation: a very satisfying earlyish dinner and a whipped cottage cheese parfait for dessert.

Cottage cheese is a go-to treat for me now that I've found a low-salt brand I like. But this event is going to call for toppings. I'm thinking pomegranate arils plus a few chocolate shavings!

Not a fan of pumpkin (I promise it's subtle!)? Make vanilla cottage cheese whip.

Wishing you health and cheer and a Happy Halloween,
