The Local Life: Annessa Chumbley and Lucerne Dairy

June is National Dairy Month and today we're celebrating one of America's favorite dairy foods, cheese. So joining us now is dietician Anessa Chumbley with simple tips plus delicious recipes you'll want to try at home. We are celebrating cheese with three easy recipes and tips featuring Lucerne cheeses available exclusively at Shaw's and Star Market. Lucerne has been a trusted dairy brand for over 100 years, known for their quality affordable dairy and using ingredients sourced from wholesome family farms. They've added even more flavor to the lineup with their new recipe ready shredded cheeses and pepper infused sliced cheeses to make flavorful cooking even easier. First up, a crunch rack copycat. Here's my favorite cheese trick. Sprinkle Lucerne recipe ready shredded taco cheese straight into the skillet first then press in the tortilla. It creates a crispy golden crust that takes the crunch to another level. Layer in beef plus all the toppings including Lucerne's ghost pepper sliced cheese. Ghost peppers have a slightly sweet fruity smoky flavor and a heat level that is off the chart. And for the first tip, let that cheese come to room temp before adding it in in order to get the perfect cheese pull. Our second recipe is a must make for your summer celebration. Cheesy roasted street corn dip made right on the grill. Just mix onion, roasted corn, green chili, sour cream and Lucerne's recipe ready queso shredded cheese for maximum melt. Second cheese tip, layer in the cheese while the dip is piping hot so it melts perfectly even. Top with Lucerne's habanero sliced cheese. Habaneros are known for their intense tangy tropical flavor and it'll give us a gorgeous bubbly top layer. And for our third recipe, hatch chili breakfast sliders. This one is perfect for your summer breakfast prep. Fluffy eggs made with Lucerne shredded nacho cheese sprinkled right in and their hatch chili sliced cheese layered on. And for our third tip, cover those sliders while they're baking so the cheese gets perfectly gooey for another ultimate cheese pull. So grab those trusted Lucerne cheeses. It's farm-fresh dairy you will love. You can find Lucerne only at Shaw's and Star Market and I think you'll want it at the center of your table every day. You can shop Lucerne's delicious dairy on the app, in-store or online at shaws.com and starmarket.com. The Local Life is brought to you by Lucerne Dairy.
