This week it is all about Ice cream, after all July is National Ice cream Month. Check out all our Reviews of Ice cream of the low fat variety of course. Try a flavor you haven't tried before.

The Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese Forget what you think you know is swiss cheese. You won't find any hole-y, yellow, thin cheese slices here. Instead, The Laughing Cow, (don't you just love that company name? We do!) is in a round container, which you open up to see 8 triangular wedges. Each wedge of cheese is a white, creamy, smooth, spreadable 'cream cheese lookalike' swiss flavor cheese. Note the use of the word flavor here. This is because, this is not pure swiss cheese. A look at the ingredients shows a combination of cheeses are used to bring you this delight. Cheeses such as light cheddar, cheddar, swiss and semisoft cheeses.

Whatever the combination, The Laughing Cow Light has a clear winner with this one, and a new favorite of mine. This cheese is soft, with a mild delicate cheese flavor. It may look like cream cheese, but the flavor is more like a combination of mild cheddar and swiss cheeses. The best thing is that this cheese is spreadable and good on any sandwich and great on bagels, which is one of the two ways I love to use this cheese. The other way is to dip a finger in the cheese and just eat it straight, a la kid style.

The next best thing about this light cheese is the nutrition. Just 35 calories per wedge, and 2 grams of total fat, and 1 gram of saturated fat. You also get a little protein and calcium. The regular, holey swiss cheese is about 70 calories with 5 grams of fat and 3 grams of saturated fat (from The Calorie Lab). The price for The Laughing Cow Light, is around $3.00 for the round container with 8 wedges.

So let's summarize the things we love about this cheese: the name, Laughing Cow, the packaging, the taste, the nutrition, and the logo - a red cow with earrings which look suspiciously like the round container. Do we need to say we are giving this two thumbs up? And thanks France for bringing us this cheese

They are delish! Laughing Cow's Gourmet Cheese and Baguettes are great as a quick snack, too. I tried the Onion Poppyseed. Very flavorful.

In most all supermarkets, ask them to order it if not available. I love it with apple slices (Fuji in Spring) and add 3 oz. of Black Forest Low Sodium Ham for my meal. Add a Kiwi for good nutrition & taste. (Don't refrigerate until semi soft). Peel and eat!

Simply the best! I love this cheese with a few carrots and snap peas in the afternoon to tide me over until dinner. The size of the wedge is substantial, but still surprisingly low in fat and calories!

I'm not a fan of cheese, but I must say I absolutely love The Laughing Cow cheese. It doesn't have that typical, pungent cheese taste to it at all.
