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>

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
