Laughing Cow Cheese

boaterswife · 11-16-2006, 12:53 PM

Have you bought it? Do you like it? I've been hearing a bit about it and was thinking of getting some. I looked at my local grocery store and couldn't find it, but now realize I should've maybe looked by the specialty cheeses/deli counter instead of by the cream cheese and shredded cheese etc.

I'm thinking it would make a nice snack with some fresh veggies like carrot sticks or celery....

Thanks for any input!

Love it. I get the light version. Yes, it is usually by the more gourmet cheeses at the grocery store, sometimes it is not refrigerated. It is also sold at my CostCo (don't know if you have one in your area). I love it lots of ways, one of my favorites is stirred into spaghetti squash to make a super-yummy, super-healthy version of "fettucine alfredo."

I also get the light version and I love it on Melba toast, english muffin, bagels..soo good!! And only 1 ww point!! I also was looking near the shredded cheeses and such and didn't find it. It wasn't in the refridgerated section of my groscery store either. Just ask them next time you're there..well worth it =)

I've never been fond of any light versions of food...to me, they never quite have a decent flavor...

But at my local Krogers, they are right there with the shredded cheese, cream cheese, etc. I tend to get the original one, and snack on them from time to time. I did try the others, but wasnt' overly impressed.

Yeah I am not much of a light food person either and was quite skeptical, but lite Laughing Cow cheese is very good. They have soft wedges but also a lite semi-hard round that tastes great and melts really well. Such a treat. I still occassaionlly have real cheese, but the Laughing Cow cheese is the way to go to keep points low. I love an onion and garlic lite wedge spread on rice crackers... very low points.

mmmm i am having the Light Garlic & Herv on Kashi Seasame crackers for the first time, it's darn good!

I put it in celery--it's great! I take LCL stuffed celery to events when I need to bring a snack, and the celery is always gone.

I've also used it in a chicken recipe that is really good and very easy. Pound a chicken breast, put a slice of deli ham on it, put a wedge of LCL on top of the ham, roll up the chicken breast, dip in egg white or FF milk and then roll in shake and bake, secure with toothpicks and bake. Haven't made it since I do Core more often so I forget the points, but it's very low because the shake and bake stuff is negligible.

This is my fabvorite chees. My 1st grader takes it to lunch with celery. We also like the garlic one Yummy So worth 1pt....

You'll love it. The light and the regular have the same points per serving: 1. I love it on crackers (TLC), english muffins with some fruit spread, to make a light 'alfredo' sauce for pasta, on veggies ...Yum, yum, yum!!!

OK, I finally remembered to look in the correct spot in the grocery store and found it. I thought it was a bit pricey....$5.99 for the 8-wedge-wheel, but I bought it anyway. YUM! I tried the light French Onion, and have been dipping my baby carrots in it. Nice way to get a cheese into my body, and feel decadent by dipping my veggies in something. No one else in the family has tried them, so I guess they're all mine! YES! I don't mind the little bit extra if it will actually be in the fridge when I want it! For a sweet low point snack I love the Special K Strawberry bars (2 pts), but so does every one else! I'll pick up a box of 6, and it'll be empty the first time I grab for one!

Just remember that Laughing Cow DOES NOT count toward a dairy serving.

Thank you for the reminder, I wasn't sure!

Kroger should have it in the speciality cheese section near the deli. Super Wal-mart also carries it near the deli the the specialty cheese section too
