Hi there! I'm Amanda, the cottage cheese loving mom behind recipeswithcottagecheese.com. I believe in being completely honest with you about how I keep this website running and continue sharing delicious cottage cheese recipes, so let me explain how some of the links throughout my site work.
How Affiliate Links Work
Throughout my cottage cheese recipe posts, cooking guides, and kitchen tips, you'll find links to cooking tools, cottage cheese brands, kitchen appliances, and other products I genuinely recommend. Some of these are affiliate links, which means if you click through and make a purchase, I might earn a small commission - but it never costs you anything extra.
These commissions help me cover website expenses and give me more time to develop and test new cottage cheese recipes for you and your family!
