    I add about 50 grams in with my scrambed eggs (2 or 3 whole eggs) before I cook them....it makes the eggs really creamy and delicious!

    I buy full-fat cottage cheese (4%). Tastes better and not that much calorie difference. And I tend to prefer generic/store brands over Kraft or Borden or name brands!

    1/4 cup of 4% cottage cheese on my salads instead of dressing, on baked potato instead of butter, with salsa for my celery & carrots, mixed with black beans, tomatoes, avocado for a dip, by itself with a tomato, in 1/2 an avocado, with fresh pineapple and many times just plain ole' cottage cheese.

    I like to add frozen berries with cottage cheese (optional add your sweetener) and blend it away! Its my replacement for ice cream/frozen yogurt. or a shake if you add almond milk :)

    I also make pancakes or waffles. 1/3 old fashion oats blended or (the oat flour) 1/3 cottage cheese, 1/3 egg whites, vanilla extract or cinnamon, baking powder. Blend and you got your mix. Sound weird, but its delicious.

    I have never considered cottage cheese to be a sweet food. (peaches and cream? So nasty.) I like to get Dean's cottage cheese with chives and use it as dip for crackers or spread it on bread

    All great ideas thank you! Do y'all get fat free or full/low fat? I don't really know anything about what is best in regard to that.

    I get the 1% no salt added. I've come to really look forward to my nightly bowl with mixed in protein powder. I get kind of annoyed when my market is out of the cottage cheese and I'm running out at home. :)

    I like mine with a soft boiled egg, salt and pepper. Mix it all together and it's a protein powerhouse. I always do full fat everything as I find that the higher the fat content, the more satiating.

    Everything.

    Salsa, mixing it with eggs and making an omelet, using it as cheese in salad with some salt and pepper, mixing it with canned tuna/salmon and mustard, pomegranate seeds, pineapple and vanilla protein powder, frozen peaches and a peppermint tea bag (it's cheaper than buying dried mint spice), mixed with flavored Greek yogurt, mixed with PB2 and frozen/heated.

    I like getting the 1-2%. 0% tastes too watery and sour.
