Made these today with my 2.5 year old. These are sooo good! The pumpkin spice flavor really shines. We will be making these on repeat this fall and winter!

#GoodCulturePartner viral cheese-stuffed sweet pot #GoodCulturePartner viral cheese-stuffed sweet potatoes!!!! 

why make a cheese-stuffed sweet potato when you could make a TWO-cheese stuffed sweet potato? the @good_culture adds protein and extra creaminess, making it so much more satiating.

to make it: 
wash and dry a sweet potato, rub with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. bake at 300°F until tender, about 1 hour. (I preferred the air fryer version). leave in the turned-off oven or air fryer for a few minutes until it’s still warm but not piping hot. 

slice off the top of the potato and stuff in a few slices of butterkase cheese (or another havarti-like cheese). mash some of the sweet potato down to make room for cottage cheese, then add a big spoonful. season with black pepper. continue to add more cottage cheese as you eat!

Magnolia who?? 🤭 Blended the cottage cheese right Magnolia who?? 🤭

Blended the cottage cheese right in the container, added maple syrup and vanilla to taste, then popped in the nilla wafers and banana and let it sit overnight. so dang good.
cottage cheese edition!!!!! saw @okonomikitchen r cottage cheese edition!!!!!

saw @okonomikitchen recreate the 2-ingredient yogurt cheesecake trending in Japan and of course had to try with cottage cheese. 

head to her page for the yogurt version (or her website which is filled with tips and flavor ideas) or try this cottage cheese one! 

IT IS SO GOOD. I want to do banana pudding next.
