We love cottage cheese. This salad works!

Fresh, creamy, crunchy, and packed with protein!
It can serve 4!

Ingredients:
• 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or 2%)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• ¼ red onion, finely chopped
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup olives, sliced. We used black. Green is good too!
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, and olives. Gently fold together without breaking up the cottage cheese too much.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
3. Pour dressing over the salad. Toss gently until everything is lightly coated and evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning.
4. Serve immediately for the freshest texture, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Notes:
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.

- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

I love little Smokies! Try this!

Ingredients
1 lb Lil’ Smokies cocktail sausages
1 packet ranch dressing mix 1 oz
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
6-8 pepperoncini peppers sliced
2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice from the jar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the Lil’ Smokies in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch dressing mix, brown sugar, garlic powder, and pepperoncini juice until smooth and well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the sausages in the baking dish. Scatter the sliced pepperoncini peppers on top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sauce is bubbling and has created a perfect, glossy glaze on the smokies.
Serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Notes
Slow Cooker Method: Place smokies in the slow cooker. Mix all other ingredients and pour over the top, stirring to coat. Cook on LOW for 2-3 hours or HIGH for 1-1.5 hours. Switch to ‘Warm’ to serve.
Secret Ingredient: Don’t skip the pepperoncini juice! The acidity is key to cutting through the richness of the butter and creating the signature tangy flavor.
Make-Ahead Tip: This appetizer can be prepared up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven, on the stovetop, or back in the slow cooker.
