I’m not talking about it as much but I’m still trying to find a new way to eat, and trying to develop healthier habits that I can maintain for the rest of my life so that I can lose my extra weight. One of the things that we’re doing, both Michael and I, is finding healthier versions of those foods we both love. Kraft cheese has been a staple in my home as long as i can remember. I’m not 100% brand loyal on many things but my cheese almost always has to be Kraft!
A couple of months ago my husband found Kraft Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella and Fat Free Shredded Cheddar cheeses. He has willpower and is a lot more willing to try foods than I am. I’m picky. He was thrilled to find this, as so much of our food calls for cheese- quesadillas, salads, sandwiches, pizzas…so many things! We picked up both kinds, because to my amazement Kraft didn’t charge any more for this than the regular kind. As we all know, most of the time healthy foods cost a lot more than the kind that’s filled with fat and calories and bad for you stuff.
We love it! Michael started eating the Kraft Fat Free Mozzarella and the Kraft Fat Free shredded Cheddar on a lot of things but our favorite food is what I described in this post. It’s basically a flat bread with garlic and shredded cheese. You can find the bread at Walmart in the bakery department, but if you’re lucky you can find it when it’s been marked down to $1.50 per pack when it’s a day old. They’r still perfectly good, and when we find several packs we freeze them. They’re perfect with a salad or alone, sprinkled with fat free cheese.
My favorite way to eat Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheese is to take the Tandoori Naan and sprinkle it with garlic, a little cheddar and mozzarella cheese (fat free of course), and a little bit of shaved buffalo chicken breast from the deli. We always buy 1/4 pound from the deli and it lasts us 2 weeks because we just put it on those. It’s oh so good! The cheese tastes like cheese, and not a disgusting aftertaste like other fat free products. The cheese is still moist, not dry, and actually melts really well.
I’m hopeful that I will be able to find other things to replace the full-fat versions of the foods I eat now. The cheese was a big one, and I’m thrilled! I’m so glad that Kraft has Fat Free Shredded Cheese, and that they are keeping it as affordable as their other products, at least for now.
If you’re looking for a way to reduce the fat you and your family consume then this is a small way to make a huge difference. I truly doubt they’ll even notice the difference when used in dishes with lots of flavor!
