Okay, so I wasn't always open to the idea of trying new foods. Not only was I a picky eater, I was also particular when it comes to texture. Oatmeal was a no-no, and keep cottage cheese away from me!!

So as I was whipping up my cottage cheese ranch dip I noticed that sometimes it comes out more lumpy than other times. Lumps= me not eating it. :lol: I have found a little trick!! Make sure you use the right sized container for mixing. So, if you are only whipping up a cup of cottage cheese, don't use the large bullet cup. I have found that the less excess space in the container helps in whipping that cottage cheese nice and smooth. To me, that makes a world of difference.

If you don't own a bullet, my suggestion is that you get one. ;) I have a whammadine 7-speed KitchenAid blender and it has nothing on my Bullet. Worth every penny. Not to mention, it is very easy to travel with.
