    with a spoon usually. I do not recommend a fork...

    chopsticks if you're really adventurous.

    You could sculpt it into a mound and drive toy monster trucks in it.

    It would take a crowbar, a very strong person and probably involve some type of knock out drug.

    Mix some pumpkin or apple butter into it, or a little jelly. Or some canned pumpkin with pumpkin pie spice. Eat it on toasted raisin bread with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top. My mom used to mix up banana and sour cream into cottage cheese when I was a kid. Or just eat it plain.

    I like it plain with wheat thins or over the top of tomato with salt and pepper

    It's also delicious with a little tomato sauce over the top and served over a piece of sourdough bread

    You can use it as a replacement for ricotta in lasagna

    Some people like it with fruit, but I've never cared for any combo I tried like that...

    For me I prefer my CC plain, I don't like putting anything in it, but you could try fruit or as a dip with crackers.

    Cottage cheese is something I realized too late in life just disagrees with my system. I get fuzzy headed and feel generally degraded. So, I do not eat cottage cheese under any conditions. I realized this about 10 years ago and then when I read "Eat right for your blood type" saw that it was not recommeneded for my blood type (Type A). I don't totally believe the blood type categories as they seem too broad, but in this case it was correct. Give me a bowl of blueberries instead, any day.

    I love cottage cheese! Typically, I'll enjoy it with fresh pinaple.

    I add 1/4 cup blueberries and some grape nuts (for crunchiness). Also add 1 packet of sweetner.

    Mix with fruit
    Add to salad instead of salad dressing (measure carefully)
    eat as a dip with veggies
    throw in a blender with protein powder and fruit

    I like it plain, or with pepper, or with fruit (especially mandarin orange slices), but my most recent method of eating it is with cocoa powder and honey. I have been eating that every single day for like three months now.

    Cottage Cheese is not something I can eat plain...or even with fruit..I find it disgusting....HOWEVER....comma....I put a half a cup of cottage cheese in my morning Protein Drink every morning.

    1 cup of calorie countdown hood chocolate milk.
    1 handful of spinach
    1/2 cup of cottage cheese
    1/2 cup of old fashion oats.
    1/2 cup of cold hazelnut coffee
    3 to 4 ice cubs
    2 tbl spoon of Skippy natural PB.

    and blend away

    That makes two servings which I drink all by my damn self. after an awesome workout!

    I personally don't care for it, but my mom eats it with pineapple and lots of black pepper.

    Try it in a smoothie too.

    I like to add a little chopped onion and crumble up a few saltines over it.

    or I like to add it to scrambled eggs

    Step one - open tub
    Step B - stir
    Step Red - eat with spoon, spork, fork (+4 for that), chopsticks (+10) or fingers (-20 gross)

    But honestly, it's peachy just plain. Or mix some fruit in it, chia/flax seeds, sprinkle some protein powder ontop...

    I don't care for it with the sweet/fruit additions, but LOVE it with tuna. I can't wait to try the tomato and chives idea from above. :drinker:
