for fat watchers:president's fat free feta is very acceptable.

Thanks rvb, on that note, are there any other good fat-free foods out there?

Not like fresh veggies, but other products like the feta that rvb metioned above. Thanks!

 
Fat free half and half works fine in coffee and cooking. For other dairy products, I prefer the low

fat versions: sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese.

Tillamook reduced fat medium cheddar is very good, but it's actually only slightly lower-calorie than the full-fat version (90 cal/oz. vs. 110 cal/oz.)

 
I like the greek-style fat-free yogurt and..

the fat-free cultured buttermilk for baking and for making my chilequelas.
As for sour cream and cream cheese, I like the reduced fat rather than the totally FF.

 
Pace Picante Sauce is fat free and can spice up all kinds of otherwise bland dishes

I used to mix Pace Picante Sauce with cottage cheese, a little parmesan, garlic and pepper for a baked potato topping. I pour Pace over eggs, mix it into all kinds of dinner-type dishes, use it as a salad dressing sometimes too. It is a fat-free best friend.

 
Funny you should say that...

I just had a shrimp burrito for lunch. I made it with leftover grilled shrimp, brown rice, some of the veggies out of the soup I made, fresh cilantro, all wrapped in a Santa Fe Tortilla Co. whole wheat tortilla (it has 100 calories with 13 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fiber. I get these at Sam's and they are so much better than the other low carb ones I have tried.) and topped with lots of Pace Picante Salsa. It was delicious. I made hubby a grilled chicken one, same filling with a slice of colby jack cheese on top. He cannot stand burritos with "fillers", but he said it was really good.
I will try using your cottage cheese idea with baked potatoes later this week, and see how it flies with hubby. It sounds great to me! Thanks!
