Four Foods on Friday

By Elizabeth | April 16, 2008

I am having so much fun participating in this meme every Friday, and I think Val at Fun, Crafts and Recipes is a genius for coming up with it! If you like recipes for good, basic food that is easy to prepare and kid-friendly, I recommend signing up for her free daily recipes email.

#1. Cottage cheese. Small curd, large curd, chunk or whipped?
#2. Burgers. Made fresh, preformed fresh or preformed frozen?
#3. If you could only buy one kind of salad dressing what would it be?
#4. Share a crockpot or slow cooker recipe.

#1-Cottage cheese is nasty, but if I had to eat it, it would have to be small curd. There’s whipped cottage cheese?

#2-My All-American Burgers, the recipe is in my FFoF post from last week!

#3-Hidden Valley Ranch. It’s good on EVERYTHING.

#4-Interesting you should ask this! If you type the keywords slow cooker hot fudge cake into Google, guess who is number two????

    You’re not the only one a little disturbed at the idea of whipped cottage cheese.

    Also, I’m a big fan of Hidden Valley Ranch, but what happened to Ranch? Now there’s Bacon Ranch, Lite Ranch, Blue Cheese Ranch, etc. Are these worth picking up, or just stick with what you know?

    Gus-I bought bacon ranch one time by accident, and it’s actually not bad if you like salads with those artificial bacon bits on them. The blue cheese ranch is pretty good too, I craved it big time when I was pregnant with my daughter!
