June is National Dairy month, celebrate with Hood® Cottage Cheese! Try some yummy Cinnamon Vanilla Berry Cottage Cheese Toast #Recipe!

This post is sponsored by The National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA). All opinions are my own. For more inspiration during #JuneDairyMonth, be sure to check out delicious ideas from NFRA at EasyHomeMeals.com #JDM2019

Did you know that June is National Dairy Month? I have to admit I had never heard of such a thing! But it is a pretty cool time to enjoy all that is dairy, I am surely up to a month celebrating some of my favorite food, aren't you? I can go on and on about my love of all things dairy... but instead, I will tell you a bit more about one of my favorite dairy items, cottage cheese! Are you a big cottage cheese fan like I am? It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner or a snack. You can use it in all sorts of recipes. 

I recently had the chance to celebrate National Dairy Month, by coming up with a favorite recipe using cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is packed with protein, Hood® Country Style Cottage Cheese is rich, creamy and delicious. You can enjoy it in so many ways, as a topping, a dip, an ingredient or as a healthy snack. I wanted a recipe that did not mask the flavor of the cottage cheese, a recipe that really let the cheese shine. 

When I was a child I remember coming home from school and I was famished, as my mother made dinner I would ask for a snack. My mother would make me cottage cheese on toast, and I loved it. My favorite version of the treat my mom would make for me is a Cinnamon Vanilla Berry Cottage Cheese Toast. It was slightly sweet, and very creamy and really was enjoyable. 

Now I have a daughter and she too comes home looking for a snack, when dinner's not ready for a good bit. I enjoy making this quick and simple snack that my mom would make for me as a child, and my daughter loves the toast as much as I did.  I just love that I get to share something I enjoyed so much as a child with my child, and I hope one day (in the far future) she will share this recipe with her children.  I feel good about giving her this snack because every Hood® product boasts a rich and creamy texture for a tasty snack that’s filled with protein. Check out the super easy recipe, and make this treat for your family.

Can you believe it?  Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs as a part of the Eggs Are Healthy campaign petitioned the FDA to update its guidelines around what can be deemed ‘healthy’ – spoiler organic eggs can’t but sugary cereal can. I really did not believe what I read, sugary cereals and toaster pastries... Healthy? What?

A new take on the classic holiday film, Dr. Seuss, The Grinch is in Theaters today! #TheGrinch

Grinch fans it is time to get excited! The holiday favorite is getting a new twist, ILLUMINATION PRESENTS DR. SEUSS’ THE GRINCH is in Theaters today! This fun movie has all you love from the classic movie and more, there is even a little version of The Grinch! Aww! 

There is also a re-imagined version of the classic Grinch theme “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” by Tyler, the Creator and Academy Award-nominated composer Danny Elfman. Check out the lyric video for the song!

“You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” Lyric Video

For their eighth fully animated feature, Illumination and Universal Pictures present The Grinch, based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic.  The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit.  Funny, heartwarming and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company.  With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Who-ville when he runs out of food.

Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations.  When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas.  To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.

Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who—a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer—plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother.  As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheme threatens to collide with the Grinch’s more nefarious one.  Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus?  Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all?
