Easy to make and tasted good. I've never thought to put the cheese and jello in the blender before. It came out so nice and creamy. Now if you have children that don't like cottage cheese/milk you need to try this recipe. They will never know if they don't see the empty cheese container. I made this for PAC Fall 2006 -
Yum, this sounds great and very low-cal. However, I'm wondering what type of jello should be used.

I'm a civil engineer, born and raised in Denver. After losing about 60 lbs through a sensible diet and exercise, I have learned to cook quick and healthy meals. I still take a day to splurge once a week and I love to make desserts too!
My main activities outside of the long hours I spend at work are kickboxing, fitness boot camp, ballet and tap. I also enjoy cooking but as a single girl, I'm always looking for recipes that can be made small and will last a few days.
