PREPPING YOUR INGREDIENTS
When it comes to preparing snacks, appetizers, dips, and even lunches for potlucks, prepping your ingredients is key to achieving a delicious and impressive final product. One aspect that may be overlooked is prepping the ingredients before adding them to the bowl. This crucial step can make a significant difference in the texture and consistency of your dish. Take whipped cottage cheese, for example. By properly whipping it before adding any other ingredients, you create a smooth base that is easier to mix and creates a more uniform dip or spread. By prepping all your ingredients with care, you ensure that you are achieving optimal taste and texture, elevating your dish and impressing your guests.

When it comes to choosing a nutritious dip or snack for your lunches or appetizers, whipped cottage cheese is a great option. Not only is it delicious, but it also contains high amounts of protein, perfect for maintaining and building muscle. Additionally, cottage cheese is usually made with little to no additives, making it a healthier option than other dips or snacks. Pair it with your favorite veggies or crackers to boost the nutritional content even further. So the next time you’re looking for a tasty snack that won’t leave you feeling guilty, consider whipped cottage cheese – your taste buds and muscles will thank you.

Hi Allie ,
I’m making your cheese dip this morning.. I’m looking forward to it. Thank you… by the way, one of my occupations in my lifetime was an ad of illustrator for a large electronics firm, and I was an artist illustrator… I just sending you a little sketch on my clipboard on my lap no drawing board. This is for years ago Allie..
Since your whole lifestyle is incorporated and evolved around VENISON, I have to think about your logo, Miss Ali‘s Kitchen.. since it’s 100% VENISON I’m sending you a sketch just to give you a thought whether or not it would enhance your logo black as we know is not a color but I think you have to differentiate between the two that being the ant was all I had was a red tip pen. I think it looks cool. What are your thoughts? I would like you to take an inch and a quarter venison steak from one of the Leg quarters specifically the top of the round.. are bottom of the round add 3/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda to it… work it around with your hands.. ceramic wrap, over the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.. bring it out and the cold water and then tamp it dry with towing.. then fry it in the cast-iron pan… a tip.. since it has its own flavor, I have prime rib, fat and heated it down to the liquid state it turns gray white by the way maybe you could add a little rosemary to it.. you know VENISON cook quickly.. if you have the time in the last minute, play some butter in it and spoon it over the steak for the last minute then let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Give me some feedback thank you I have been a professional photographer for 50 years and I like your work.
I cannot paste my sketch if you would, please send me your email so I can send you the attachment picture … sketch… at work… prize winning picture for 2024 hee hee lol
