• I'm Amanda, a mom to my amazing 12-year-old daughter Jessica, and wife to my supportive husband Alex. We live in Minnesota where I spend my days creating cottage cheese recipes and taking food photos for this site.
• I started cooking as a teenager, but my love for cottage cheese began when I was looking for healthy ways to add protein to our family meals. That's when I discovered cottage cheese recipes could be both nutritious and delicious.
• My husband Alex is a web developer who helped me build this website from scratch. What started as a simple idea to share cottage cheese recipes with friends has grown into our little family business.
• My recipes have been tested in over 80000+ home kitchens and featured in high-protein eating communities online.
• I develop recipes focused on nutrition-forward cooking and real-food protein sources.
• I actively study nutrition resources from: Harvard Health, Mayo Clinic, Registered dietitians and food scientists
• I study evidence-based nutrition principles to help families make higher-protein meals without complicated ingredients.
• I believe good food doesn't have to be complicated. You'll find cottage cheese recipes here that use simple ingredients and easy steps. From breakfast to dinner, these cottage cheese recipes work for busy parents like me.
