Super yummy cottage cheese toast is packed with protein and flavor. Try it on Sourdough bread, with low-fat cottage cheese and tomatoes from your garden. Top with EVOO & balsamic for an extra punch of flavor.

🫒🍋 Whole Foods had a new sourdough pasta I just had to try—and it did not disappoint! The texture was fantastic, and I love finding more fermented foods to add to my meals. While sourdough fermentation can offer some digestive benefits, it’s also a delicious way to enjoy traditional foods. This one is definitely going back in my cart!
Have you tried sourdough pasta yet? Let me know what you think! 💚

Don't know how to select the finest extra virgin olive oils? Prioritize oils from a single estate, verify that they are cold-pressed, and choose a dark glass bottle to preserve vital antioxidants and phytonutrients.
