    I like it spicy, this might sound super off the wall. Especially for those of you who like your cottage cheese sweet. I put a bit of Vietnamese chili garlic sauce in it (you only need about 1/4-1/2 tsp) its soooo yummy! Sometimes just with pepper, Epicures garlic pepper is yummy!

    I'm really hungry now! lol

    Toast a piece of bread and top with cottage cheese. Sprinkle with Splenda and cinnamon. Put it under your broiler just until cheese starts to bubble (watch any bread edges for burning). It's a bit like a guilt-free Danish.

    In a pinch, you can heat it in a microwave, but the toast may get soggy. Still tastes good, though.

    On bread with lots of pepper. Sometimes with tomatoes salt & pepper on bread. Think odor it as a cheese sandwich!
  • Wow, these are some amazing ideas of how to eat cottage cheese. My reccomendation is to make sure you try the different brands. They vary greatly, some are really soft and runny, others are more firm with less liquid. Some I love, others gross me out. It isn't a cost thing, expensive or cheap, they're just different.

    I'm not a huge fan of cottage cheese either, but I AM a fan of chips and salsa with sour cream. What I've traded chips and salsa for is veggies and cottage cheese mixed with salsa. Mix (to taste) cottage cheese with your favorite salsa and dip your veggies in it! I've alse eaten these with triscuits and wheat thins - very delicious and much healthier than my previous dip! Not exactly the same, but the strong taste of the salsa really distracts you from the taste and texture of the cottage cheese. High protein snack!

    This is mine, too. Half and half salsa and cottage cheese. I also like it with pineapple or fresh berries.
  • I go for the small curd - smooth and creamy - and mix it with fruit. Lately it has been pineapple and blackberries. I also add it to my smoothies for added calcium and it thickens the smoothie. Good Luck

    I love it with grapes! Especially the green ones. Usually always add salt to mine too. Yum!

    I tend to like my cottage cheese on the sweet side although savory works too. I sometimes add sliced peaches or apples along with peanut butter. I also sometimes add salt and pepper to it when I add it to my salads.

    There many different ways to spice cottage cheese up. Hope you find your favorite combination!

    I used to hate cottage cheese too! Now, I love it! I often put a bit in my scrambled eggs, dip veggies in it, eat plain, top salads as a sort of "dressing", and use it in casseroles and other baked dishes. I've used it as a thickener in stroganoff type dishes too, it really is so versatile!

    I used it yesterday on my baby potatoes instead of butter or sour cream and it was good. I am craving it right now i might have to throw some together.

    OK, I know this sounds bizarre, but it really is DELISH. I like it with tomato sauce stuff. I mix it into spaghetti and I put it on top of pizza. Also, you can get baked Doritos. Use cottage cheese as a dip. YUM! I promise.
  • Sprinkle mrs. dash and eat like a dip with veggies!

    I just added it to my tuna salad instead of mayo.
  • I love to add the thousand island (homemade, no pickles) with fresh tomatoes and some pepper.
