EUROPEAN DILL CREAM CHEESE ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Hello My Dearest Foodies,
This is my first recipe for MAKE IT HEALTHY PROJECT initiated by amazing lady @woman-onthe-wing. She was one of the first Stemians who took me under her wing when I was a newbie. STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE that she was hosting at that time was where I've been given opportunity to show my work and rewarded for it very generously. I will be always grateful to her for that.
And now, I am so excited about this new MAKE IT HEALTHY PROJECT, so we can continue promoting healthy living together. So please make sure you use the tag #makeithealthy and follow @make-it-healthy. For more information please read "Make It Healthy Project" ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐๐

For many years my family was living in a townhouse near POLISH PLAZA where we were shopping often, especially for European delicacies. One of our favorites was a cream cheese with dill. I wasn't vegan back then, however, now after many years, here I am recreating it based on the taste I remember. Although, I can't say that it tastes exactly the same, because I would be lying, nevertheless, I can say for sure that it's delicious, super healthy and easy to make.
BON APPETIT & THANK YOU FOR VISITING ๐ธ๐๐ธ

Thank you so much ๐๐๐
Delicious ๐ Lena!!! I do mine the same but without dill, sometimes I add parsley and another thyme!! Good luck! I hope you win the contest! Go Vegan!
Thank you so much Dear Maru, I do it also with spinach or chives. But MAKE IT HEALTHY is not a contest, It's just a way for us foodies to join the forces to promote healthy living. You are welcome to participate as well ๐๐๐
I am excited to try this. Looks delicious, and must be very healthy
I am happy to hear that Dear @princessmewmew, thank you you so much ๐๐๐
This would be the perfect dip for some crackers. I love dill. ๐
Oh yes for sure, thank you so much @deliciousplants ๐๐๐
I made this cream cheese yesterday and finished it all in one sitting it was so good ๐ It was so delicious that I had to feature it in my weekly roundup of vegan recipes on Steemit ๐ฅ
Thank you for sharing this healthier version of cream cheese, I highly recommend this recipe! ๐ฑ
Oh wow, thank you so much, I a so happy to hear that .....I am sorry for the late response @deliciousplants ๐๐๐
I remember, when my grand ma made cream cheese with fresh herbsfor our garden. I know what you mean, It was really good! Your version looks absolutely similar to this "old version". ๐ Thanks Lena for your yummy recipe! ๐๐
I am so happy to hear that that Dear @babettxx, thank you so much ๐๐๐
Oh my, this is when I'm so glad you have a good camera that does your food justice! The consistency of this looks perfect! And so fresh looking with the dill. I can imagine the taste, oh Lena I will write this in my recipe book and make it for sure. It would go wonderfully with my homemade scones I can almost taste it right now!
Many thanks for such a lovely shout-out about my new project, and for being so supportive. It's been a delight for me to watch your blog and contest grow... One of the many things to celebrate about Steemit!!! :-)
Always a pleasure my Dear ๐๐๐
I am having trouble with the indoor lighting when I am taking photos, so it's not as good as I would like to be, lol. Nevertheless, thank you so much Dear Joanna for your lovely comment and everything XOXO
Oh it looks absolutely delicious! We are on the same wavelength as I made pasta earlier with a creamy dill sauce! Fresh herbs make everything just a bit yummier! ๐ฟ
My daughter bought the dill for borscht she made Thursday and she gave me half, because you know how it is when you buy herbs. They sell you more then you need, lol.
Thank you so much Dear @plantstoplanjs, I am glad you like it ๐๐๐
No sense wasting, so it's great to share! Mmm, now I want some borscht. ๐คฃ
LOL ๐ธ๐๐ธ
One of the things I found the hardest to let go of when I decided to go totally vegan was cheese. Not so much the hard cheeses, but I used to love goat's brie and ricotta. But making a spread from cashews is just as, if not more tasty as milk based cheese. Will use your recipe with dill next time I make it Lena. ๐ฆ
For me was more difficult to give up the melted cheese on pizza, lol. Although I do not eat pizza often, I do treat myself with Daiya once in a while.
I am very happy you like my recipe Dear Alison, it is truly delicious. Even my 22 months old grandsons like it, lol ๐ธ๐๐ธ
Wonderful for children to be introduced to such delectable vegan food.
I hadn't thanked you for the links you sent me for a vegan cat diet. Wonderful to keep for the time that a cat comes into my life. Wonderful to know that it IS possible. Thanks SO much Lena. ๐๐๐
