IT'S NATIONAL CHEESE DAY!

I’m one day late celebrating National Cheese Day – such a  glorious food!   So many beautiful creations out there from goat’s cheese (which I love on a salad)  to creamy brie’s that are just delicious!  

Yes, this is a high fat, high calorie food, but when you use a cheese with a bold flavor, a little can go a long way!  Eating the highest quality cheese that you can will help you be able to enjoy it and keep it on the healthy side.  Avoid overly processed cheese and instead purchase organic or grass fed cheese which will help you avoid  hormones given to dairy cows and pesticides used in feeds.  A healthy portion is one slice, two small cubes or two tablespoons, depending on the cheese.  

My favorite way to eat cheese is to grate a block of white cheddar and sprinkle it all over organic tortilla chips, pop it in the oven to melt and top it with my husband’s fresh salsa!  I just can’t get enough of that goodness!

 What is your favorite cheese and how do you eat it?
