And, of course, it wouldn't be Fall without some festive pumpkin treats! ๐ We are also tackling a cheese conundrum that many home cooks face: when is it okay (and not OK) to use packaged pre-shredded cheese? You might also be wondering if there is a nutritional difference between shredded cheese and regular cheese. As always, hope you find something you like!

โ Tips: When is it OK (and not OK) to use pre-shredded cheese?Pre-shredded packaged cheese is super convenient and has a minimal nutritional difference from regular cheese. BUT... The downside is that pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents (to prevent clumping) that can affect the texture, sometimes making it gritty and preventing it from melting evenly. It's OK to use shredded cheese in certain recipes where it's combined with other ingredients - the effects will be less noticeable. Examples are: tacos, casseroles, pizza toppings and salads. Avoid pre-shredded cheese when making: fondus, mac and cheese, cheese soufflรฉ, cheese sauces and grilled cheese sandwiches. For these types of recipes, it is recommended to grate your own cheese for a stronger and creamier taste and texture. โ What you're saying... โRoast Pumpkin Salad With Couscous Also delicious with sweet potatoes.This was sooo good!!
