One of My FAVS: Light Laughing Cow Wedges!
First off—I’d like to say THANK YOU for such wonderful comments (I adore reading them! Really—I do!) AND for keepin’ GGB going!!! Keep ‘em coming because I LOVE to hear what YOU have to say!
So—for you GGBers–I’m starting something new!!! Hope you like it!
Here’s the plan– once a week (aiming for Thursday or Friday) I’ll highlight one of my favorite foods! As you may have guessed–all will be healthy, good for your bod, but most importantly, they’ll jazz your taste buds in sweet surprise!
These healthified tid-bits will be a good way to break up my weekly longer posts, keep you entertained, and a lean, green, mean, disease-fighting machine—all part of my goals!!!!
Okay dok—I better start! Must stay on track to offer healthified nuggets!
Here we go!
This weeks Healthified Pick: Light Laughing Cow Wedges!
Why I Can’t Get Enough of These WONDERFUL Wedges!
They’re:
- Oozing with creamy goodness!
- Only 35 calories per wedge
- Portable
- Flavorful & comes in 3 fabulous flavors to meet any of your cheesy cravings: Light French Onion, Garlic & Herb, OR Swiss (my all-time go-to wedge)
- Preportioned
- Spreadable—on anything!
- Doesn’t taste like a “light” version of cheese
- I happen to really dig the package (yea, I know—but it still counts!)
- Way better for you than an ounce of cheese! These lil’ wedges are about 65 calories, 7 grams total fat & 5 grams saturated fat LESS than an ounce of regular cheese (1 ounce= the size of 4 stacked dice or 1 slice cheese)
- Good at ANY time of day!
Top 10 Ways I LOVE to eat these wedges:
- On a turkey sandwich with Ezekiel Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Bread & Dijon mustard (also known as the lettuce sandwich because I pile it high with the leafy greens!)
- Ms. Healthy Blog Snack’s very own Lindsey Toth has this amazing alfredo sauce: MIX 1 laughing cow wedge, parmesan cheese & non-fat Greek yogurt to taste & dress your pasta … whole wheat that is!
- On Ak-Mak crackers (I adore these crackers!)
- Standing in my kitchen against my counter
- On top of Fiber One English muffins (gotta get my digestive lovin’ fiber in there!)
- On apples
- On top of a sweet potato!
- In mashed cauliflower: steam cauliflower, so it’s mashable, MASH, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, add a wedge or 2 & MIX!!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
- In my stir fried veggie sauce: MIX low sodium teriyaki or soy sauce & water in a 1:1 ratio to taste & 1 light original laughing cow wedge, SPRAY skillet with canola or olive oil cooking spray, pour in veggie sauce, add veggies, STIR FRY!
- On celery or carrot sticks
Happy Healthifying!
What’s your favorite way to eat this lil’ wedge?

My Perspective
I say goodbye to fad diets, bogus "fat-burning" pills, and processed, non-food food. And, I smile hello to a healthifying lifestyle full of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, sweaty workouts, the occasional "chocolate fix," sleep, family and friend time, and quality "me time" with a focus on health. I look forward to your comments and thoughts as the posts healthify on by! Meet Corinne!
great meeting you too! just added your blog to my post tonight. i need to make a page with my new favorite blogs!
lots to do on my blog still! 
thanks for stopping by and hope to meet up again!
I loveeee laughing cow cheese. I’ve tried all of the flavors except the swiss. I usually just eat it as is with crackers, however I like your ideas. I also love ezekiel bread!
Great idea! I just got on the laughing cow cheese band wagon and I really like them! It’s great for an afternoon snack and as an addition to pasta for that little sumthin’ extra to wow the tastebuds without a lot of extra kcals
mmm I like the garlic herb so far
It’s a sad thing that I’ve actually never bought these! I usually go straight for the Cabot spicy cheddar, but I’m going to try some next time I’m at the store. Lindsey’s alfredo sauce and your sweet potato ideas sound delish!
I love them, too! I used LC in my Egg Beater omlet last night – yummm! I also make poor man’s chicken cordon bleu with laughing cow — delish! Love this and love LC!
Yum! I’ve never tried that, but I hear it’s fabulous! I’ll take YOUR word and give it a whirl!
Jessica–you simply must try. End point
YUM! I love that cheese too but only had it when they were handing out free samples! Thanks for the reminder I should have it again!
I love these wedges! I like using the garlic and herb in pasta. Yum!
Hi! It was so nice to meet you last night!! Hopefully we can have another meet-up soon
Laughing Cow cheese is one of my staples… I eat it right out of the package; so creamy and delicious!
It was great to meet you last night, Corrine! I love Light Laughing Cow wedges… I almost always have a supply of them in stock
.
I love it with apple or the other day I tried it with Eggs – delicious!
I have yet to try it on eggs, BUT I keep hearing it’s wonderful…I now must try it! Thanks for the suggestion
I also heart Laughing Cow cheese. I put them out with crudite and wheat crackers at parties.
YES! That’s one of the best ways to get a party going!!! In my opinion
Thanks for the comment!
Great ideas! I am going to try it in the cauliflower!
Good! Let me know if you like it!
i love to throw one in my bag for my train ride home after a long day. Eating one – maybe with an apple too – curbs my appetite and keeps me from devouring every chocolate thing in my kitchen once I do get home!
Love the new idea!
Love the laughing cow but i’m boring..I love it with just crackers of veggies, especially carrots. Great suggestions. Honestly, I have never thought of spreading it on a sandwich, sounds so yummy. I will definitely have to give it a try.
AMEN TO EVERYTHING IN HERE!! i love love love LC! my fav is garlic n herb and swiss
like it on -pita bread, in savory oats AND sweet oats, on noodles, crackers, popchips, pizzas, omelets, wraps, sandwiches w. apples, soo much more!
Yes–that’s a yummy one! Glad you also feel the LC love
I love getting 4 packs in 1 box at Costco! Saves so much moolah.
I only discovered the Laughing Cow wedges a couple of months ago. They go with anything!! I like to melt it and stir it into spaghetti squash.
That is genius! Thanks for the tip!
