These low-calorie, low-fat egg white bites make a quick weekday breakfast and they're equally as convenient for midday snacks. In order not to waste egg yolks and to save time, I like to use a carton of liquid egg whites. Egg whites tend to be rubbery, so adding in the cottage cheese helps make them creamier. You can store extras in the freezer and reheat as needed.

Lemon ice is an easy and refreshing summer treat. I use lemon zest, lemon juice, and the classic Italian granita technique to makes this. I love the contrast between that light texture and bright, vibrant flavor.
