What cheese do you recommend?
DJ Blatner, RDN says
We do cheddar cheese! YUM. PS: Use your favorite cheese, just not fake cheese like American cheese, which you see on the label actually says “cheese product,” because it can’t legally say cheese!

After hearing you on WGN I started eating more legumes. This particular recipe has become one of my go to for meals and you can do so many variations like adding arugula on top, etc. Who knew chickpeas were so delicious. Thank you so much and I truly love listening to you on Thursdays on the radio. You are helping change the way I am eating.
