Happy Thursday, everyone!
Have you entered the cookbook giveaway yet? If not, you’ll want to get on that.
Sorry for my lack of Daily Delish yesterday, once I landed in LA I was totally friend and I’m sure any post I would have put together would have made you all think I’m even crazier than I already am!
Now that I have had a good night’s sleep in my oh-so-comfortable bed, I’m ready to embrace the day.
This week I am thankful for another amazing year. Yes, in light of my upcoming Halloween birthday, I would like to thank the Mister, my parents and God for giving me yet another incredible year in this crazy world.
Some highlights:
Getting my Master’s degree
Taking trips with the Mister
Starting the blog!
Race for the cure with my mom
Celebrating every holiday and special event with those I love most.
Thank you mom and dad, for everything. You are the reason I have become the woman I am today and I couldn’t be more thankful for your guidance and support you’ve provided every single day of my existence.
Mister — thank you for making me a better person and for making each day I’m with you better than the next. Here’s to getting old together…
I cannot wait to see what year 25 has in store! I’m now a quarter of a century! BRING IT!
Make sure you remember to email your Fashion Friday photos! Send all emails by midnight tonight for a chance to win!
What are you thankful for this week?
I’m headed to LA this afternoon (hopefully it is better than my last trip to the west coast!), so I am going to make this quick. I’ll be gone until Friday evening, but I’ll be blogging! When I get back on Friday the Mister and I are meeting my family for a celebratory dinner (my Mom’s birthday is on Friday and mine is on Saturday – ie HALLOWEEN! – yes I am a little witch 
). Saturday morning, the the Mister and I are heading to Chicago to celebrate my birthday in style.
I’ll be sure to keep all of you in the loop along the way.
First things first, have you entered the cookbook giveaway yet? I’ll announce the winner on Friday.
Second.. have you sent me your photos for Fashion Friday? Remember this is the week of the CONTEST! Email me your photos by midnight on Thursday.

What did you read this week that didn’t make my list? Please share in the connents!
I’m here today to share my latest addiction. People, I do not care if the ingredient list isn’t perfect… so don’t bother on trying to sway me, because I’m not going anywhere.
Behold….
Fiber One cottage cheese
Note: FiberOne did NOT contact me or ask that I promote this product in any way.
Creamy perfection in a tub. So incredibly delicious.
Cottage cheese is a touchy subject, no? It can often be dry, crumbly or even sour tasting (blech!) Sometimes the curds can be too large and feel like spoiled milk in your mouth. Other times the curds are so small that it feels like you’re eating grainy yogurt. Sorry for the gross visuals!
But when a brand gets it right, boy do they get it right!
My cottage cheese criteria:
- Creamy
- Light
- Small/medium curds (p.s. how TERRIBLE is the word curd? — ugh!)
- NOT sour (if anything verging on sweet!)
- Low (or no) fat
The new Fiber One reduced fat cottage cheese fits the bill perfectly. I grabbed a tub of it a few weeks ago to give it a try and I’ve gone through 3 more – it’s that good! Each 1/2 size serving is only 80 calories and with 10 grams of protein and 20% of your daily fiber intake, this product will be hard to beat.
Cottage cheese, in general, is a tasty, filling and healthy snack. I love having mine with fruit — how do you like yours?
Are you a cottage cheese lover or hater? The Mister is a HATER!
