    btw, Laughing Cow cheese wedges are available in just about any major food chain. sometimes, they are with the cream cheese; more commonly, they are in the specialty cheese department or occasionally, in some Walmarts and Safeways, with the specialty breads. - 3/31/10

    I wouldn't know where to get laughing cow portions. I'd just go for a chicken baked on top of the rice and broccoli and cheese over the top - 11/16/09
