We happen to really
enjoy cottage cheese. I know not
everyone does, must be a texture thing, but we happen to be a family that
really does. Plain with a good bit of
cracked black pepper on top or as a key ingredient in a pasta dish it manages
to make its way into many of our meals.
Whenever it goes on
sale or markdown I like to stock up. I
didn't used to, because I'd over buy and end up having it go bad before we'd
eat it. I even tried freezing it, but
didn't really care for how that altered the texture. Then I stumbled across this tip.
Store unopened tubs upside down in the refrigerator and it
will literally last for months.
I was skeptical, but
thought what the heck. I'll try it. And guess what?
It really works!
I've done it for
years now and actually kept a 16oz. tub of cottage cheese in the refrigerator
for 6 months. It was perfectly
fine. I was amazed.
I don't know how it
works, just know that it does. Anyone
else know about this trick?
I've done this for years, too! (Only don't show your family, if they freak out about past-due dates.) It works for sour cream and some creamy cheeses, too.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Some people are seriously bothered by that.
DeleteJust found this incredible recipe for a whacky-style carrot cake (with gluten-free alternative)...and thought of you!

Oh yum! Thank you Cindy. I love carrot cake! :)
DeleteDon't know why it works but I do the same and it works for me too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that weird? I'm glad it works though.
DeleteI do this too! I love to add some cottage cheese mixed with some salad dressing like ranch or blue cheese to my green salads for a protein boost. With my various autoimmune illnesses, having extra protein is a must for me. :)
ReplyDeleteYesireee! We've got to get it where we can. Plus cottage cheese just tastes good. :)
