Homemade Herbed Cheese Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1/2 cup packed fresh herbs*
2 garlic cloves, peeled - coarsely chopped
8 oz cream cheese, at room temp.
1/2 cup unsalted butter - at room temperatu, re
1 salt and pepper, to taste
1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Recipe Preparation
*Choose a combination that includes chervil, chives, parsley,
tarragon, marjoram or basil.
Pick over herbs, removing any coarse stems; wash well and pat dry.
Place herbs and garlic pieces in a food processor fitted with a steel
knife. Process several seconds until minced. Add cream cheese,
butter, salt, pepper and lemon juice; process until very smooth.
Taste and adjust seasonings.
Spoon into a crock or small bowl; cover and chill to develop flavors.
Serve at room temperature as a spread for crackers or as a filling
for raw vegetables.
Note: The food processor yields quick results but, if ingredients are
at room temperature, this cheese can be blended by hand just as well.
To vary this and for fewer calories, substitute 2 cups of low-fat
cottage cheese for the cream cheese and butter.
Yield: About 2 cups.

Dieting tipsIn deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Some reduced carb diet tips:
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce problems with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet system.
