[Vonus5591]

Supposed to have good cholesterol and omega 3

So healthy choice

And finally something I can have

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest ways to eat

Can't have carbohydates like bread, pasta/noodle. wrap etc

Do you like salad? You can try to cut up the goat cheese and add it to the homemade salad either as a side salad or big salad.😀👍

[Vonus5591 in reply to Activity2004]

Yes, excellent idea. I have been trying to eat salad and usually make cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce and have with beetroot or reduced/low fat coleslaw. This is definitely the way to go!

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Vonus5591]

This is good news. Please post pictures of your salad when you have it and get the chance.😀👍

[Vonus5591 in reply to Activity2004]

Will do, thanks x

I make a salad with beetroot, goats cheese, radishes and grated carrot. I like it chunky so the only grated thing is the carrot I dress it with a simple olive oil mixed with some balsamic vinegar.

Cheers, Midori

That sounds good. Thanks x

I’m a big fan of goats cheese and I also drink goat milk and eat goat yogurt. There are a lot of advantages to goat dairy as opposed to cow dairy.

I love a salmon fillet, place skin side down on a tray or on foil and on the top put a spoonful of pesto and spread it over the top, then top with sliced goats cheese and bake. This pesto and goats cheese topping works well with any meat to be honest.

Chicken breast stuffed with goats cheese is amazing.

If you google Ottolengi (he’s a chef) and goats cheese salads, he has some really lovely ideas.

Goats cheese pairs very well with fig too - I avoid this except for special occasions as it has too many carbs.

My flavour thesaurus also says goats cheese pairs well with; basil, cherry, butternut squash (I imagine it would be lovely crumbled on soup), chilli, chocolate (i can vouch for this one), coriander leaf, cucumber (in fact it’s great in any Greek style salad), garlic, fig, lamb (YES! This is an amazing combo), lemon, mint, mushroom, olive, pear, raspberries, rosemary (if you are able to eat carbs it’s amazing with a drizzle of honey and some fresh thyme and rosemary chopped and sprinkled over), walnut, watercress.

Enjoy.

Oh sorry, I just noticed you already said you can’t have carbs. Well depending on how you feel about fruit - which is very carby - so of this may not be relevant. I mostly Don’t eat anything above 5g per 100g carbs but still manage to make very good use of goat dairy.

I just googled “goats cheese recipes low carb” and there are some lovely ideas - I will try some myself.

I eat it alongside grilled Mediterranean vegetables or grated onto it.

crumbled in salads, crumbled over roasted beets, great with eggs (though eggs too often, not good for prostate).

[Vonus5591 in reply to Sagewiz]

Thanks I have high cholesterol

But others might enjoy

[Sagewiz in reply to Vonus5591]

works with veggies. People with prostate cancer should not have more than one egg every week and a half or so. I gave up eggs almost entirely, but some use it.

[Vonus5591 in reply to Sagewiz]

Thank you for information x

[Sagewiz]

one recipe I do for guests is goat cheese mixed with lemon zest and a touch of powdered sugar stuffed in a halved date and topped with a pean

[Vonus5591 in reply to Sagewiz]

Thanks but I can’t use as sugar and sugary dates my problem

I hope someone else can use though
