The Case of Cheese Topping for Fruit

You can meet someone in person or online and like him or her right of the bat. That's the case with my friend, and Cynthia's fellow Imajin Books author, Kenna McKinnon. Kenna has been doing a blog tour and on, this, the last day I asked her to share one of her favourite veggie recipes. I have purchased all the ingredients and I'm looking forward to trying it myself. I said to Kenna, "I bet I could serve this as a fruit dip as well as a topping." She agreed it would make a great dip too.

Cheese Topping for Fruit

8-oz-carton cream-style cottage cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark rum (or flavoring)
cinnamon

Drain cheese and press through a sieve.

Combine with sour cream, sugar and rum.

Put in small bowl and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Chill until serving time.

Spoon over fresh berries or pineapple.

Serves 6.

Hear about the Sasquatch sighting near Squamish, BC? A biologist has uploaded a video on YouTube that's creating controversy about whether Bigfoot (Sasquatch) is real. "It's not human," he says, "and it's not a bear."
 
Whether you believe in Bigfoot or not, Squatchers (a First Nations word for "white men who go into forest and see nothing") spend many hours, days and weeks searching for "Squatches". If the beasts are intelligent as Errl is, they will not make themselves visible to humans! I wouldn't.
 
Look what happened to Errl.
 
Read all about it for 99 cents May 23 - 30 only on Amazon worldwide.
 
By the way, the alien Bigfoot are vegetarian!

  1. Kenna, thank you so much for offering this recipe on my blog. As I hinted I'd do, I made it myself by blending the ingredients I had on hand (cottage cheese, sour cream, white sugar, 1/8 tsp vanilla, no cinnamon) and served it as a dip for fruit. It reminded me so much of a recipe my mother made as a topping for her jellied strawberry rhubarb salad. I never really got into her strawberry rhubarb molded salad, but I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED her cream cheese and marshmallow topping. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your Cheese Topping for Fruit! I'm sure it's healthier than Mom's topping too. Wishing you good luck on the last day of your BIGFOOT BOY sale!

Wonderful to meet  YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace . Yours, Becki Green (Vegetarian Detective)

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno!   I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right!   But wow...Italy!   I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person!   So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat.   Things I learned in Italy:   In the regions we ...
