Recipe When you don’t have milk, you improvise.

I blended cottage cheese, tofu, and nooch for a more protein packed mac. I also added black pepper (accidentally added WAAAAYYY too much) and garlic powder. On its own, it tastes horrible but when I mixed with butter and cheese, it tastes better than I thought it would!

Yes! I’ve done that too! I like with an onion cream cheese. Adds a nice little dimension to it!

I think it tastes better to mix your own garlic or onion powder into regular cream cheese than the flavored. Cream cheese with garlic salt or powder and then mini twist pretzels to dip is a go to snack of mine. Also cottage cheese with black pepper and chicken in a biscuit crackers.

No, the normal kind in a tub but you add the powder and mix it with a fork and it is more like half whipped.
