    I buy the small curd (Knudsens). It has a texture similar to ricotta cheese. Then I toss in small frozen fruit like blueberries, raspberries, etc. Yum. Just like a desert!

    Try blending it up and using it on Baked Potatoes and you can also add a packet of ranch dressing and use as a dip or salad dressing. Low Calorie and High Protein Salad Dressing. Hard to find.

    Also great with a scoop of Cottage Cheese and a Scoop of Tuna Fish rolled in a lettuce wrap. Very filling!

    I eat mine with splenda and cinnamon and sometimes applesauce. Or if I'm feeling especially in need of dessert, I'll heat up some apple slices in 1 pat of butter and add 1 tsp brown sugar and serve it warm over the cottage cheese.
    I also like pineapple ~~ peach slices ~~ berries ~~ more-fruit jam ~~ honey and walnuts.

    I never got used to eating savory versions but I know some people put cottage cheese on an English muffin with tomato slices, s&p and heat it up in the toaster oven.

    I cut grape tomatoes (cherub tomatoes) in half and then mix with the cottage cheese. Then add pepper. Yummy!

    ooo I never thought of using it as a dessert, i should have had it with my baked apples tonight :P

    I have always lked mine in Jacket potatoes, on rice cakes or in wholemeal pitta. Sounds boring but I always buy the onion and chives one, bit of Tabasco. Sorted! :)

    I have mine in the morning with 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup cottage and 1/2 cup blueberries. The blueberries are frozen so I nuk them a bit and add Splenda and cinnamon. I love it. Cottage cheese is also good with oranges or bananas sliced up in it.

    I never season mine or add anything to it. I can only eat the 4% milkfat kind though. I like it on a bagel or english muffin instead of butter or jam though, or spread it on Triscuit or Ritz crackers.

    Two ways... one I love 100 calorie Breakstone Cottage Doubles with pineapple. The other, I like to put it on 1/2 of a toasted Thomas Bagel Thin (the whole bagel thin would be 110 cals).

    Pepper and chives! I can't stand it with fruit or sweet stuff for some reason.

    This might not mean much as i'm british but I adore the Tesco light choices cottage cheese with pineapple...I could just eat the whole tub! It's good on wholegrain ryvitas, or on a baked sweet potato....mmm I wish I had some in the fridge right now!

    Me too, love the pinapple one on potatoes! Sainsburys had it on offer 2 x 300g tubs for £1.20 last week; not sure if that's still on...

    Have never even thought of having cottage cheese with anything sweet. Mind you I did try to make a low-fat cheesecake with it, but prefer using quark or ricotta as those don't have lumps in.

    I like to eat mine on a crispbread with some seeds sprinkled on top. Although I made a pasta bake using it instead of a white sauce and it was equally delicious, and much more filling.

    I don't care for cottage cheese by itself...however I was out of greek yogurt about two weeks ago now for my smoothie and used 1/4 cup low fat cottage cheese in it instead. LOVE IT. HIgh in protein and it cuts down the sweetness of the smoothie a bit.

    Who knew!

    I'm a CHEESE HATER but I do eat cc only b/c of the protein content. I can stomach 1/2 a cup as long as there is a 1/4 cup of pineapple to go with. I prefer fresh pineapple, more flavour less sugars.

    Salt, pepper and a little bit of curry powder.
