Cottage Cheese - Interesting?

Sandbug

1/2 cup cottage cheese and a TBLS of sugar free cheesecake pudding (or whatever flavor floats your boat) in a mini food processor - Yumm-O!

Going to try this. I usually eat it with tuna and fresh tomatoes. Or with peaches! I also use a half cup of cottage cheese mixed with small amount of my favorite salad dressing in my salads. I feel this stretches out the flavor in salad dressing without as many calories.

WOW!! There are some really interesting ideas. I'm scared of putting friut in it, but so many of you like and recommend it, I will have to try it. And I never thought of just plain pepper, or mixing in dip-y spices. I'm not so sure of making a smoothie from it, but it's worth a shot. I like cottage cheese plain, but it gets tiring after a while. Thanks for the great ideas!

I don't eat it anymore, I've switched to greek yogurt, but when I did, I liked to add sweetness to it and I found a teaspoon of apple butter mixed in was really nice.

I like it with LOTS of fresh ground black pepper.

Is there any other way!!!!*


*well of course there is as can be seen on this message board, but I prefer it savoury rather than sweet.

These all sound good. I like on top of a small baked potatoe with salt and pepper.

As others have said most of these I'll reiterate them as they are fav's too:

Tomatoes, salt & pepper
pineapple
fresh strawberries
fresh raspberries
fruit cocktail

Inside a baked potato instead of sour cream. Add pepper, broccoli & a few shreds of cheddar cheese. Might be dinner tomorrow night now that I think about it!! Also with just pepper. Was strange the first time I saw FIL eat it that way but once tried, loved it!

crzyone

A little chopped onion and salt and pepper.

Any kind of fruit. I love canned peaches in it. I grew up eating fruit cocktail in it. I love to half a canteloupe and put a scoop of cc in it and eat. Any fresh fruit...peaches, cherries, grapes.

Makes great salad....cc, a little cool whip, package of jello and fruit to match the jello.

No, cottage is not ricotta.....when you seperate during the cheese processes, the "curds" are cottage and the "whey" is ricatta....therfore when little miss muffet sat on her tuffet, she was eating ricotta and cottage cheese lol

No, they're different. You'll probably find them both in your supermarket (depending where you live!)

I absolutely love it plain and boring! [:

I like cottage cheese with a sprinkle of cinnamon or allspice on top, served on Ryvita crackers.

I live in Europe we have ricotta, I haven't seen cottage cheese. Maybe it is similar to jocca...thanks

I used to hate cottage cheese but it's the best thing to eat after a work out. I have it savoury;

* mixed with a teaspoon of sweetchilli sauce on rice cakes
* chopped apple and sweetcorn relish
* half a teaspoon of curry powder or lime pickle

metulchik

I like mine with lots of cayenne pepper mixed in! I especially like it on top of roasted veggies/potatoes.

It's süzme peynir in Turkish although you might also find it labled as "Hütten Käse" - I know that's the German transaltion for it but is also sold as that in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

I'm sure I saw it in the supermarkets in Turkey (Turquoise coast) but then it might just have been imported for the tourists.

It's basically like pea-sized lumps of creamy, crumbly cheese curd in milky whey. Sort of creamy and cheesey and very tasty

i LOVE it with banana, or a dollop of strawberry jam. my mom's always eatten it with cinnimon, but, i prefer my cinnimon cooked.. it's a bit to 'warm' for a cool food like cottage cheese.
as of late, i've been having small spoonfuls on crackers, grissol crispy baguettes 3 cheese, or tomato and feta. ..mmmmm

I love Cottage Cheese with Pineapple but I eat it on Savoury things - i.e on Ryvita's with Tomato, Cucumber and Chilli Relish!

I love Fresh Salsa, so I am definitley going to try it now with Tuna and Salsa mixed in

Love it with berries or peaches and a drizzle of honey. Top that off with a sprinkle of nutmeg and cinnamon and you are all set.

You can also blend it with an egg (I think) and sub it for ricotta in Italian dishes. I also use it in lasagna, and have a killer recipe for cottage cheese pancakes.

I like mine with salsa either alone or on a rice cake!

jomernick

add tuna to it and peas with a tablespoon of french dressing.. some other things I may add to cottage cheese is avadaco's and Mrs dash spicy seasonings with some cilentro tastes like guac! add a large leaf of lettuce and fold in a wrap! YUMMY... you can also add salmon and bell peppers. There is a ton you can do with cottage cheese.. Hope this helps.

I used to HATE cottage cheese, but not anymore. I actually had some last night at work. I cut up some fruit - strawberries, grapes, and kiwi,you can use any fruit you like, mix in a few pecans (probably 1 Tablespoon), and stirred it up with a serving of cottage cheese. Kept me full for the rest of my shift! Actually, I'm still feeling good, and I ate that at about 3 am. The pecans, or any other nut you like, make a big difference. I'm big on texture, and that little bit of crunch is awesome!
