I usually put some pepper on it and chow down.

I usually eat it plain. It is super-yummy with canned peaches, though.

@lauraceaerosa, that sounds yummy with the cocoa powder and honey. I may try that.

grillnchill

with fruits like peaches, pineapple, strawberries, apple butter.

Lunch today was CC with tuna and egg whites add a little mustard and pepper

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.

That sounds yummy with the c. powder and honey. I may steal that from you.

I love 1% cottage cheese. I like to slice up roma tomatos and top them with cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. I also just love it plain. Or before I realized how many calories I was eating--I used to use it for dips for pretzels. I love the combo of pretzels/cottage cheese. Yumm!

With fruit: my favorite is strawberries, pineapple, apricots and peaches. With cracker, wheat thins, pita chips or raw veggies: put fresh chopped chives in it to make a yummy dip. On bake sweet potatoes: I put butter or Country Crock with low fat cottage cheese and mash it all together, yummy. On a garden salad: I add a heaping spoonful on top of a garden salad with tuna and sunflower seeds to add protein instead of using dressing.

fruit, granola, or plain!!!

I prefer savory uses of CC to sweet; the tuna ideas mentioned above sound really great.
My favorite way to eat CC is on top of spaghetti (or other pasta) and marinara/red sauce/spaghetti sauce (whatever you call it in your house). I usually buy the small cups (4 to 6 ounces) rather than a big carton, because I find the flavor deteriorates rapidly after opening.
I think you can put it in pancake batter.

_funrungirl

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

Will have to try it with scrambled eggs this weekend!

I like to put it on a baked potato and a little salad supreme (no butter, sour cream, cheese, or other fattening toppings needed).

Sometimes cut up a nice tomato and put cottage cheese on top too.

magerum

Eat it with a spoon.

susannamarie

With a spoon.

amcgavisk

I eat it with some garlic powder and pepper mixed in.

BlueBombers

The only way I can eat cottage cheese is with Melba toast.

You can make a beautiful salad with an ice cream scoop of cottage cheese and another scoop of tuna salad on top. I like to eat it plain on whole grain crackers. It tastes like cream cheese and the crunchy goes well with the creamy. I also like to eat it with sliced fruit like dip.

Adding fruit is apparently really good, my dad enjoys his with peach slices.

You can of course eat it plain, as I did until I started working in a nursing home. Then I learned the "old ways" of putting pepper on it. At college I learned that it goes really well with salad as it tastes delicious with lettuce or spinach.

Cottage cheese is one of those weird foods that you can't do much with, but still tastes good no matter what you do try to it.

twinketta

with fruits like peaches, pineapple, strawberries, apple butter.

I am with this fruit addition nom nom

You can also add it to an omelette/baked potato (as it is not with the fruit)

i have to put pepper on it for sure - dont know why - but pepper is a must - sometimes i add the mandarin orange slices - or tomatoes - but i usually eat it plain - with the pepper

jensan37

CTcutie

With salsa. Or dill & chives. Or with some chicken bullion as use as a dip for vegetables/crackers.

AlongCame_Molly

With the biggest spoon I can find.

RinnyLush

My 2 favourite ways:

1) with chopped grapes, strawberries, peach, or pineapple chunks.
2) with chopped cucumber and fresh dill.

Mmmmm....

The only way I ever eat it is with canned fruit cocktail. My mom always made it that way and I love it. I use it in my lasagna too but, I prefer it with fruit.
