The best low carb cheddar recipes and a giveaway for great cheese and a 1 year subscription to ChopChop Magazine.
Do you like cheese? Sorry, stupid question. Of course you do.
Do you like real, whole food fresh from the farm? Sorry, stupid question. Of course you do.
Do you like cooking with your kids? Mmmm, that’s a tougher one to answer. Sometimes, when time and patience allows and you aren’t stressed out and worried about the mess your kids are going to make. Still, in a perfect world, that would also be a stupid question. Because cooking is fun and kids are fun and we should be having more fun in the kitchen with our kids.
So have I got a great giveaway for you.
My friends at Cabot Creamery have partnered with ChopChop Magazine, a fun cooking magazine for families. It is the publication of ChopChop Kids, a non-profit organization devoted to getting kids and families cooking and eating real foods. And not just doing it, but doing it together, as a way to battle childhood and adult obesity.
The Fall 2015 issue of ChopChop Magazine, which I have in my hot little hands right now, includes recipes for roasted broccoli, mashed cauliflower, and herb-roasted chicken, among other veggie-filled ideas. And the quarterly magazine is available in both English and Spanish, with ethnically diverse and inexpensive recipes for everyone. So often, when I make food with my kids, we are baking and making sweets and desserts. I love that ChopChop focuses mostly on the healthy mains and sides.
So we are giving away a 1 Year Subscription to ChopChop Magazine AND a $25 Cabot Cheese Gift Box. Open to US Residents only.
You know I am a huge fan of Cabot and their cheese, so I have plenty of ideas for you to use up all that cheddar!
Southwestern Pumpkin Cheddar Soup
Bacon, Sundried Tomato and Cheddar Scones
Sour Cream & Cheddar Mashed Cauliflower
Chorizo & Cheddar Jalapeño Poppers
Spicy Cheddar & Sausage Stuffing
Yum! I love Cabot cheeses!
I appreciate the thought that getting kids cooking helps to combat childhood obesity. It makes sense to me that a person who learns to cook with real food ingredients instead of a bunch of processed shortcuts will develop an appreciation of real foods. It also makes sense to me that a diet based on those actual foods will help people, including children, to understand what they are really eating, and I think that kind of consideration is one of the keys to overcoming obesity.
My daughter helps me cook just about everything but meat! Her favorite is anything that is baked 🙂
I don’t cookwith my kids, because I only have fur babies
Fair enough! 🙂
I love cooking any holiday themed food with my kids!
I love to cook for my two dogs. They are grain free!!
I think that the magazine is a wonderful idea – I would like to see families cook at least one meal a week together – might help alot of problems –
All my kids are grown.
I love to make homemade mac & cheese with my kids. They love stirring all the cheese! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

Cookies are always fun to bake with my kids.
I like them because they’re owned and operated by farmers, and supporting farmers is important to us! I don’t have kids, but I do love to cook with my fiance. He’s taught me everything I know about cooking (I am really more of a baker) and he’s been a huge support since I’ve cut carbs! I don’t have a specific food I like to make with him, grilling meat would probably be my favorite if I was hard pressed to choose, but I do like to watch him make pie! lol I’ve made cheese chips probably four times this week with Cabot cheddar! Yum.
I love baking with my kids. They mostly love breaking the eggs and dipping their tiny fingers in the batter when I’m not looking…or so they think.
I like to cook something inspired bby whatever is fresh at the farmer’s market that week!
No kids at home, but I love Cabot cheese and can’t wait to try many of these recipes. I’ve made the biscuits and they are great!
I’m glad I don’t have any children when I think about what a struggle it would be to teach them what’s “healthy” in this day and age. All the flashy advertising and subliminal brainwashing that goes on in regards to food, and all the misinformation out there about what’s “healthy,” is just utterly horrific. When this type of thing comes up I always think of your fish nuggets recipe/blog post where you were telling us about your kids singing the McDonald’s “fish jingle” and begging you for the fish mcnuggets or whatever they’re called…lol. I really admire you for sticking to your guns and making them a homemade version instead. Anyway – the magazine looks like a really good one, even though I don’t have kids to cook with! 🙂
My kiddo is 3. She likes watching me make eggs and stir batters for me!
My son isn’t very interested in cooking, he’s usually too busy playing to help. I’d love to change that though!
I love making cookies with my kids, just like I did with my mom.
I like making breakfast with my kids. I tend to be a bit of a control freak in the kitchen, though. I often find it best to point them in the right direction, then move to another room of the house until they need help witg something.
I love to bake with my nieces and nephews (no kids for me yet).
These recipes all look amazing. If I had kids, I would totally try them with them! Cheese is my favorite food group so…..
Pizza is my favorite thing to cook with the kids. It is one food that their “help” can actually be help. You can’t really screw up putting toppings on, and they love to customize their own little pizzas.
When my kids were little, my favorite things to cook/bake with them were cookies and pancakes! I think if the kids know they will like the end product, they will be more interested in the process. Of course, who doesn’t like cookies and pancakes? 🙂
we love to make enchiladas
My daughter loves to bake pretty much anything with me.
I LOVE Cabot cheese – it is the best – have a giant block in my fridge right now.
I always enjoyed cooking with my kids – both my son and daughter are great cooks now.
The grandkids are fun to cook with too.
I love making cookies, breads and anything the kids want to help me with.
Cheese has always been a part of my food plan. Versatile, low cost, this protein source lends itself to endless dishes, hot or cold. I would love to win the Cabot cheeses.
I love cooking with my kids. We typically make cookies or muffins but my oldest daughter (11yrs) has begun to help me with making dinner. She loves chopping vegetables.
I love cheese, especially Cabot 3 year cheddar in the black wrapper.

My son loves bake with me. He’s also learnt to be a grill master!
MY “kids” are too old, but when I found Cabot Cheese (white), I stopped buying an other cheese. My “fave” for cooking with grand kids is grilled cheese sandwiches in the stove top griddle utensil that closes over the sandwich and preforms the cutting sections.
We love Cabot cheese in our house! It is always in stock. Thank you for the give away.
I love Cabot sharp cheeses I haven’t seen the lite one will have to look for it.
My granddaughter loves helping with cheese quesadillas.
Absolutely adore cheese. Any kind is ok with me. Would love to win the package.
I love cooking things like shish kabobs with my kids (sweet and savory) so they can actively participate and use things they like!
No kids but I love trying new recipes!
Cabot is my favorite! I cook with it almost everyday.
At 27, I’m still half-kid myself.
My kid self loves cheese in every form, on every thing….and luckily, my adult side knows how healthy cheese is (and knows to snatch up a minimum of 6 packs when Cabot goes on sale).
Needless to say, that box you’re so generously giving away is a mirror image of what I see when I open my refrigerator’s “meat drawer.” (Hummus and turkey, you have good intentions, but again I must relegate you to the back.)
Would love to have the Chop Chop books for nephews. Might have to keep the cheeses for myself. 🙂
Ah! I love cabot cheese. I first happened upon it last winter when traveling in vermont! Yum 🙂 I particularly like the everything bagel one
I love trying new recipes with vegetables with my kids. My daughter is the master at the food processor and Kitchenaid mixer. We also love baking low carb desserts from your site!
Breakfast for dinner is always fun with the kids and we do pizza a lot too. They are getting to be the age that I can allow them to use the cook top, it makes cooking/baking fun!
I cooked your pancakes with my son just this morning! He spilled the almond milk all over the counter and dropped about 4 eggs, but it still worked and he was having fun with me rather than just plopped in front of the tv while I was alone in the kitchen!
Some of our favorite things to make with cheddar cheese are soups, sauces and enchiladas. All of my kids help in the kitchen and love to cook.
Yum I love cheese..and I have a little neighbor girl who comes over to cook with me and she loves cheese too…I call her mouse! She would love this mag.
My kids are off at college, so very little cooking is happening with them, these days. But when my kids are home, we make breakfast for dinner. It’s one of their favorite meals. I shove some bacon in the oven, make either waffles or dutch babies (GF, grainfree, sugar free ones, of course) and scramble up a dozen or more eggs! My kids each have their own job to do, Daughter makes the waffles, son makes the eggs, and I make sure the bacon doesn’t burn. Considering the kitchen is the smallest room in my house, It’s a shoulder to shoulder job that we all have a blast doing!

Mmm, Cabot cheese.
I like baking with the kids. And every year at Christmas we make sausage balls together.
My kids love to bake with their dad, since he’s not as serious about low-carb living as I am. So I would love to have more main dish and veggie inspiration for them. My 7 year-old daughter loves to make cheesy omelets (with more cheese than egg!) and she’s been asking for linguini alfedo, and my 13-year-old son likes to make croque monsieur, so they would both be thrilled with a bog box of cheese!
i don’t have kids yet, but my fiance is a kid at heart! we like to make chocolate chip cookies together. 🙂
No kids of my own yet, but I like to bake with my younger cousin. I talk about food with my students in school and encourage them to get involved in making smart choices at home!
I love trying new recipes – These all look amazing!
Our two girls are grown now with a tiny one each of their own. Can’t wait to start cooking with the next generation!
I love to make collard green wraps with my son. He really likes rolling them up.
WE LOVE CABOT CHEESE! We just bought some at Costco and it is super sharp, just like we love. I’m really excited to try some of these recipes! Thanks!
We like to make pepperoni & cheese bread, homemade pizzas, tacos and cookies!
I love making bacon cheddar biscuits!
I love cheese and your blog. Thanks for your hard work!
Empty nester, here. 🙂
We like to make cookies and also salads together.
I am a fur baby mom so I cook homemade dog treats for my babies!
I love cheese. Especially that Seriously Sharp Cheddar!
I don’t have kids, but I always loved making popcorn with my brother when we were kids (I know, not exactly a recipe, but we had so much fun) 🙂
I don’t have kids, but my niece and nephew love to cook! They’ll tackle anything and everything.
Pizza.. fun to put on all the different toppings and get to choose/personalize.
We make apple pies together!
Love cheese of all kinds!
My kids and I love to make mini pizzas together.
I love to make grilled cheese sandwiches and cheeseburgers with my kids!
No little kids, but I have two big kids (my son *and* husband — wink), and everyone loves cheese.
I’ll have to try your cheddar drop biscuit recipe, regardless of whether or not I win.
Thanks for the opportunity, Carolyn!
Chedder…Mmmm!
Oops, Cheddar!
My kids are grown, but when they were younger they liked to help me bake, especially cookies. I love baking cookies, but decorating them isn’t my “thing”, so sprinkles, icing, etc was their “job”. We also liked to make pizzas and would put out bowls of toppings so they could make their own with whatever they wanted on them.
cookies and baked mac & cheese
I have no kids, but I surely do like cheese 🙂 I do think it’s important, though, to cook with your kids. It’s part of becoming a competent adult.
My kids always loved it when I would let them make individual pizzas.
My son and I like to make chocolate graham crackers together.
I’m only 18, but some of my best memories include baking a banana cake with my grandmother. She always let me smoosh the banana and “use” the mixers. I felt so special making patterns in the batter and loved cleaning the bowl after (with my tongue <3)
I love Cabot Cheese, almost as much as I love AllDayIDreamAboutFood!
My favorite flavor recently is the Habanero Cheddar. Wooo it’s hot!
Oh yea, that stuff is seriously hot!
