    I use it as the base for salad dressing, for example, 56 g cottage cheese, 1 t olive oil, and a little mustard. Did that yesterday for a salad with ham and swiss. Today's salad will be turkey and cheddar, so I think I will mix the cottage cheese with some whole berry cranberry sauce.

    When I have about 200 calories left for a bedtime snack, I mix cottage cheese with 4 ounces of applesauce.

    My favorite is to toast an English muffin, place sliced tomato on top, cover in cottage cheese and sprinkle with black pepper. I eat it as an open faced sandwich and it's awesome.

    Mixed with scoop of whey (chocolate peanut butter is awesome), 20-30 grams of some cereal and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon is one of my basic meals. I also use a low-fat version, so if I want my fats higher I can mix in some peanut butter.

    I top mine with crunchy almond butter or mixed in with a can of tuna and a squirt of dijon mustard.

    With fruits, berries or in a salad. Banana, cinnamon and CC is a favourite. With half frozen strawberries it almost tastes like rice pudding. And I have recently started making scrambled eggs with it, mixing half'n half. We also make small pancakes with cottage cheese.
    You can also mix it with a bit of greek yoghurt, add some agave syrup or vanilla seeds, and have it as a dessert with fruit when you have cravings for something sweet. The possibilities are endless :)

    I either buy the cottage cheese doubles with strawberry. Or i eat it with sliced strawberries or drizzled with honey and a piece of toast. My mom loved eating it with salt and pepper. Fruit, honey, toast and crackers would be good. Its your choice. Its very versatile. I love it plain too its amazing.

    I like both sweet and savory:
    plain, with black pepper
    with chopped apples and cinnamon
    with pineapple
    with sliced green onion and black pepper
    on any mixed green salad
    as part of a salad with peaches and french dressing
    with tomatoes
    with broccoli, onion and red pepper in an omelet
    instead of ricotta cheese in pasta dishes

    In a blender with artichoke hearts, garlic & red chili flakes. Makes a fine dip for veg or crackers.
    Or blended with salsa verde as a dip for tortilla chips or topping for enchiladas.
