Dairy Makes Sense

How lucky are we…June is Dairy Month! Finally I can celebrate and eat all the cheese I want! I would put cheese as one of my top five foods. I eat it every day!

To celebrate Gary and I dropped into a quaint dairy in Lynn, Wisconsin. Of course it is called the Lynn Dairy!
Years ago all the dairy also served up gas.

 

Nothing like Swiss cheese for me! Brett loves Marblejack and Gary enjoys Medium Cheddar!
I loved this lady actually writing up a sales receipt the old fashioned way taking all the time in the world making sure she was doing her job exactly right. When was the last time you had a hand written sales receipt?  She was our bonus at the Lynn Dairy!

Cheese is great bang for your buck! An ounce of cheese contains 8 grams of protein per 1 ounce serving. It provides high quality protein, that as part of a diet higher in protein can curb hunger. To save money, we buy our cheese in block form and shred it ourselves . The best part of shredding cheese?  Feeling no guilt snacking on it while you are trying to cook your meal!
