    Blending cottage cheese is fantastic! It can easily be substituted for sour cream :) Very similar. I like to mix half a packet of hidden valley ranch and some garlic powder in a 16 oz container of cottage cheese. Delicious, and would be awesome as a veggie dip. I think there's some good recipes online for a super low fat and inexpensive ranch dressing using pureed cottage cheese. The others that posted about jello are absolutely right! It's delicious and super easy. Just mix a packet in some cottage cheese, add some fruit if ya like, and you have a yummy sweet treat!

    I combine a 1/2 bar of nonfat cream cheese, 1 cup of nonfat cottage cheese, herbs on hand (parsley usually), a clove of garlic, some scallion tops and and salt and pepper in the food processor.

    Great dip or sandwich spread.

    This may sound gross but I put 1/4 cup into maple brown sugar oats revolution oatmeal (100 calorie pack). You can't taste it and it adds some protein. And it cools down your oatmeal so you can eat it right away! Some strawberries and almonds and its a yummy breakfast!

    I do the same thing! Love it that way!

    Yummy ideas!

    My go-to is cottage cheese on a bed of lettuce, topped with chopped tomatoes. Growing up, my mom and siblings preferred cottage cheese topped with fruit cocktail instead of tomato.

    I used to love CC!
    I prefered it simple with just a dash of pepper.

    But I also added fruit and cinn. for sweet, and for savory I typically added cucumber, lemon juice, and greek seasoning

    2 things I've started adding cottage cheese to:

    1) Protein shakes. 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 banana, big handful of berries, big handful of spinach. One of the fruits usually frozen to make the shake cold. Blend. Makes 2 servings.

    2) With Egg Beaters. I mix 6 Tbsp. Egg Beaters, 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 T parmesan cheese, bacon, old bay, and make an omelet.

    These 2 together have been my breakfast of late. A little sweet, a little savory. A lot YUM.

    I defrost a third of a cup of frozen raspberries quickly and mix with 3/4 cup cottage cheese. AMAZING. Eat this most days.

    This may sound a bit weird, but I love putting nutritional yeast & salsa on it, with lots of black pepper. YUM!

    I dont eat meat, so as an experiment I stirred some into some left over stir fry for a protein add. It was delicious.
