When a recipe calls for "goat cheese" what exactly am I looking for? Is it
going to be cheese labeled "goat cheese" or is it called something like
Queso Cabrero. Am I going to have to just read ingredients as I got though
the cheese section?

they probably mean chevre, fresh goat cheese with a cream-cheese like
consistency.

Most packages will say "Made from goat's milk" or something of the like, but
what you're looking for will say Chevre...which is kind of like cream
cheese, and made from goat's milk. It's sold in logs, and sometimes has
additional flavoring agents (herbs, cracked pepper, etc) on the outside.

Thank you all for your input. I did indeed find the fresh goat cheese. I
thought maybe there was a type that one could grate. I'll have to try the
recipe and see how it goes. It's for a Broccoli Frittata. It's made with 9
egg whites and light on the cheese I'm thinking it may be Weight Watcher
friendly. If it is any good I'll post it.
