What do you get when you combine an empty belly and a very bare fridge? Often times at my house, you get #strangebutgood.
Without having a lot on hand to work with, I basically just threw together some random ingredients that sounded like they might work. The result was shockingly delicious! This happy little accident has since been one of my go-to quick and easy meals. It is often in my weekly meal prep rotation, as it makes for an easy lunch at work.
While I have gotten numerous comments on how yummy it looks and smells (garlic + Parmesan always = win), I have also gotten some stares from picky less experimental eaters. So, I’m filing this one under #strangebutgood, and participating in the link-up love! See more on Laura’s page!

Do you avoid taking odd things to work to eat?

Thanks for linking up! I wish I had cottage cheese to make this right now – looks awesome!
I go through phases where I eat it almost daily!
I finally found the no sodium added cottage cheese you keep mentioning on your blog! I have been hunting for it forever!
Oh good! Is it the Friendship brand?
Yes ma’am! It definitely works better in my sweet concoctions!
DELISH. I always eat my cottage cheese savory style with nutritional yeasts ALWAYS. I would so get down with that bowl of yum.
If you can find it Friendship makes a whipped cottage cheese that you can spread on bread or portabellas or whatever and basically it’s like ricotta when it bakes. I love adding it into some steamed broccolli slaw and pasta sauce and nuking it (with nutritional yeast. Obvs.)
I haven’t seen that! I will try to find it for sure! Sounds uh-mazing! Thank you!
