This was really good! I was pleasantly surprised - after tasting the cottage cheese mixture I thought it would be just OK, but after adding the ham and cheese it was great! Love the touch of heat from the chiles. I cut this in half to make one serving and used whole wheat bread and Black Forest ham. Broiled on high for a few minutes just to melt the cheese on top (the cottage cheese was still mostly cold). This made a good quick (and healthy) weeknight meal. Thanks for sharing!

Canada

I'm Danish-Canadian! I immigrated to Canada in 1968 and lived in B.C. until 1979, then we had the wonderful opportunity to live in Hawaii for almost 3 years. We moved to Southern Ontario in 1982. Of profession, I'm a Doctor of Human Biochemistry, specializing in Nutrition, a Doctor of Homeopathic Medicine, and a Registered Nutrition Consultant Practitioner, I have my own full time practice. My passion is cooking! I have tested and tried over 10.000 recipes over the last 30 years on my beloved husband who is now residing in a Long Term Facility with Dementia, so I have to make meals for one, healthy and simple. />My pet peeve is too much garlic in a creamy rich sauce. My favourite cookbook is the one I have made myself over the past 40 years. My interests are knitting Scandinavian socks, sweaters, reading. If I had a month off I would visit our adult children and 4 year old Granddaughter, who resides in British Columbia and Florida, and cook them their favorite meals.
