fat-free vegetable cheese bagel
Another recipe I have to share. I'm keeping my weight off and eating like a queen. I make this ahead of time so it's on hand when I need a quick bite. I have taken this recipe and added smoked salmon or leftover salmon from a dinner. I just added the salmon with a little lemon juice and dill... so amazing. You can serve hot or cold. Wonderful for the summer out on the deck or for a winter snack toasted in the oven. The best thing is, it's guilt-free. For the bagel, I like to use Thomas multi-grain bagel thins.

This spread is a delicious high protein, healthy addition to your breakfast. Cottage cheese is having its moment and this is a great way to enjoy it. By mashing or pulsing it, the texture becomes smoother. It's filled with fresh veggies for a little crunch. We added a thinly sliced piece of smoked salmon to the bagel too. This is so good you won't even realize you're eating healthy. Keep a batch in the fridge for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.
