Greek Cream Cheese?



Recommended Posts

That is labaneh. I love it!! I'm Palestinian and we make this homemade in my home. Spread it in a plate with a drizzle of olive oil and it's Devine! I eat it with my eggs, wrap it up in lunch meat with cucumbers, or even spread it in Kim's magic pop! Yum yum! The best with it my moms homemade pita, but u know!! Lol

Susie, how do you make it?

Susie, how do you make it?

You have to scald whole milk (1 gallon) and one small container of plain nonfat Greek yogurt and salt to taste then let it cool. Once it is cooled, you put it in a bag (I use a pillow case) tie it up and set a big strainer underneath it for a few days , set in a bowl so it's doesn't leak everywhere. each night dump out the extra Water from the case that's underneath in the extra bowl. Once thickened u can put in a tupperware and just garnish with olive oil (optional) as needed. Time consuming, but worth it!

I used it in sf banana pudding with ff milk as a thickener and added whip topping and banana and it was pretty good

I really like it a lot - it has more flavor than regular cream cheese, I think. I use it in a lot of different recipes.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
