05 Sep Win Alouette Cheese Gift Pack!
When I was a little girl, my family owned a cheese store– since then I’ve fallen in love with cheese. Recently, I discovered this spreadable cheese from Aloutte. They’re perfect for entertaining (my guests loved them!) or for a satisfying afternoon snack. Read on about the health benefits of cheese then enter to win a fabulous gift from Alouette.
Health Benefits of Cheese
Cheese is a great source of both protein and calcium. Protein increases satiety, which means it will help keep you full between meals and snacks, aiding in weight loss and weight maintenance. Protein is also a key nutrient needed for muscle strength and recovery, making it a good food to include in a post-workout meal.
Calcium is a mineral crucial for bone health. It helps prevent fractures and the development of osteoporosis. Cheese is also a good source of zinc, a mineral that helps boost your immune system, which we can all use during cold and flu season!
Some folks worry about the artery clogging saturated fat and high amounts of sodium found in full fat cheese. Low fat and low sodium cheeses are available or you can just enjoy a small amount of regular cheese. Alouette offers some light options of their traditional varieties which come in 40-calorie individual portions (hello portion control!).
Enter to Win!
The Aloutte gift pack includes: (pictured above)
- A wooden Alouette keepsake box

Posted at 13:24h, 05 SeptemberCheese (as far as I am concerned) is the beginning, the middle, and the end to all parties great and small. I love cheese (all cheeses) and I love sharing when we have company. I love cheese naked. I love cheese covered with crackers. I love cheese smothered in a cheesecake.

Posted at 13:55h, 05 SeptemberMy favorite way to eat cheese is with my mouth! I love all kinds of cheeses; hard, soft, aged, stinky French, melted on a pizza, brie in puff pastry… the list could go on forever. I LOVE the Alouette Perfect Portions Italian Herb. Best thing for keeping on track with the diet without skimping on taste.

Mark Bitterling
Posted at 16:54h, 05 SeptemberChoosing a favorite is extremely difficult because I love cheese any way that you slice it . . . or shred it . . . or spread it . . . or crumble it . . . or melt it . . . etc. There are so many wonderful ways to eat so many different delicious cheeses that to choose just one way that is absolutely better than all the rest is just an impossible test. How can I decide whether it is better to have a thick slice of melted Wisconsin cheddar on my grilled hamburger or some rich aged Swiss roasted in a Reuben? How do you compare that to the layered blend of Ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, Provolone, and Asiago in a baked lasagna? Or the simple pleasure of bite sized morsels of raw cheese on a tray with fresh fruit and a bottle of wine? On any given moment of any given day, the best way to eat cheese changes with the weather or with my mood, but the one thing that never changes is that cheese is my favorite food.
