It looks so healthy and delicious. Thank you!!
Love the avocado cottage cheese recipe ❤️
I usually have all the ingredients on hand, I’ll happily give it a try!
What could be an alternative for the avocado? I just can’t take the taste of avocado.
Thanks for the simplicity. I’ll try this recipe without the garlic.
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it.
