Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bodybuilding and Cottage Cheese Dip

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! This is my piece for 'Bodybuilding'. It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") based on a classic photo of Arnold Schwartzenegger.


 For the Dinner Date, I tried this cottage cheese dip and it is really creamy and good!

1/4c pickled jalapeno (or to taste)

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c cottage cheese (I used 2% fat)

1 green onion diced

1 tbs olive oil

2 sundried tomatoes

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Blend together and serve with crackers or chips!  Daughter L says I should try a cottage cheese spinach dip, maybe next time!

I really liked this dip, after a few days the flavours seemed to meld in deliciously.

If it's just me and I'm not in the mood to cook anything, I also do just dips and crackers. As long as it tastes good, right?

Io sono una fan di Schwartzenegger e l' idea che hai avuto di rappresentarlo in quadretto è proprio bella.

I'm afraid the dip appeals to me more than all those muscles! 😊
