I can't stand greek yogurt. I am scared to try cottage cheese... I want to though, be very helpful with eating protein.0

I was really grossed out by cottage cheese as a kid and wouldn't touch the stuff. I just discovered how it can be good and dressed up at age 22. I love adding it to my salad.
My favorite version of cottage cheese? Add a savory dressing (I like creamy caesar or a peppercorn ranch that used to be at my work), and Mrs. Dash.
On top of that, pepperoni slices, spinach, tomatoes, peas, ham, literally anything.
I haven't quite worked up the courage to try sweet cottage cheese yet...but I think it could be good with green apple slices.0 -

My favorite was always cottage cheese with pineapple though. I might need to get back into that.
Boy, does it ever! I don't think I would have had the courage to get it if I had to get plain stuff. Maybe one day.
Ummm what! What are the flavors? I've never actually gone shopping for cottage cheese, just eat it at the restaurant I work at as my side job. Tell me more about the flavors!!

I definitely prefer cottage cheese as my main protein at night, but when my store is out of the only brand I'll eat, some Fage 0% greek yogurt is substituted. I can only really eat greek yogurt if I mix stuff into it (like the protein powder or pb2 and some splenda). Otherwise it's wayyyyyyyy too sour for my taste.0 -

Yes! When I actually decided I was gonna get some I was like "What? Choices? No way! Should I get chive & onion or garden vegetable?" I went with chive & onion. But they also had a pineapple one and maybe another fruit one plus two or 3 other flavors.0 -
I was in the same boat as you when I was a kid. You couldn't pay me enough money to eat cottage cheese or alvocados.
I did find a new level of enjoyment and respect for them both as an adult.
I like to eat my cottage cheese with some unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon or use it as the "mayo" with tuna salad.0 -
I eat it for breakfast, and a lot of times with dinner as well. I'll go through two containers a week most of the time.0

No flavoured stuff here, but my husband introduced me to a good combo: half an avocado filled with cottage cheese and some chilli sauce

My absolute favorite way to eat it is stirred into chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado with garlic, salt and pepper.
It shouldn't be as delicious as it really is.
Sometimes I throw a little green onion on there, too.1 -
I'm glad you two made up, I just can't even with cottage cheese. It's the texture for sure.0
-
Yeah I didn't touch the thing until a month ago and now I have some every day, lol. Just got to find the right brand... been trying a few, so far Friendship is the best!0

+1 (Also can't get past the ...milkiness. Shudder. I have been known to leave rooms when my husband eats his cottage cheese.)

Wait - are we talking about cottage cheese or cream cheese? I've used those flavors in Philadelphia cream cheese. If it is indeed cottage cheese, however, I'm so jealous!! We don't have anything like that here!0 -

I'm not sure what's in your area, but Friendship brand makes a no salt added - and you can tell it, lol0 -
Lol! I still haven't reconciled with any kind yogurt but cottage cheese and avocados and I are best buddies now. As a kid, no way! I actually like it plain or with Triscuit crackers.1

cottage cheese with beef pepper stew is amazing0

Pressed cottage cheese that comes in a block is great for people who dislike the slimy lumpiness of the normal type. It's harder to find but has a great crumbly texture and is more versatile for cooking 0
