Goat Cream Cheese

I'm inspired to share this with you today because one of my dreams has come true. My daughter, Emilie, has made our cream cheese two times in a row.

Imagine a world where someone else is responsible for and enthusiastic about a food staple that should always be in your fridge, ready to feed the family. That's right, people, the stuff dreams are made of. 

To quote Emilie this morning, "Hey! If I made this when we would need it the next day, instead of waiting till we do need it, that would be really good!" I love this girl.  I love her, I love her, I love her. Love. 



Goat Cream Cheese
1 log goat cheese
3/4 cup to 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cow)
- cream together.
Allergy Notes: I think you could make this with another type of milk. I would start with 1/2 a cup and add more as needed. 

Our favorite ways to use this are:
- goat cream cheese toast, way better than butter. Sprinkle with a bit of salt, fresh ground pepper & Kirkland Signature No-Salt Seasoning. Or strawberry jam. Or onions and lox. Etc.
- on tilapia, with Kirkland Signature No-Salt Seasoning, salt and pepper, baked in the oven.
- in enchiladas for added creaminess and flavor.
- a tablespoon of it on lentil soup or chili adds delicious flavor.

You can add herbs, onions, citrus juices as you like.

Here is a what the No Salt Seasoning looks like from Costco. It's really great.

Let me know if you make it and like it! It's a much cheaper to make it this way (and it makes enough to enjoy all week), instead of buying it at Trader Joe's in a teeny-tiny container that is gone in one setting. Enjoy!
