    I've learned to love cottage cheese for breakfast. I eat 1/2 c with diced apple or fresh seasonal fruit. I also add 2 tablespoons walnut pieces for crunch. For me it's really satisfying and "meaty",and holds me far longer than a dish of cereal.

    Cottage cheese is a high sodium product - I wouldn't suggest adding more salt to it.

    I adore soup and cottage cheese!, so I basicly mix them. Yet, I never put the cottage cheese into the soup...I always spoon the soup onto the cottage cheese....

    I like to sprinkle sugar free dry jello powder on it and add fruit that goes good with the flavor jello you're using. To make it creamier - add a dollop of fat free or light cool whip. Yum

    Oooh! Thanks for the reminder, I haven't had this in years. Now I gotta buy some cottage cheese.

    Orange jello powder & crushed pineapple. Yummy

    I make a tasty dessert type thing with it. I mix 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 2 Tbs of Light Cool Whip, 1/4 cup of blackberries, 1/4 cup of blueberries and 2 splenda or Truvia.

    You don't have to have cottage cheese, there are other yummy snacks that are good for weight loss! If you are looking for dairy, fat-free Greek yogurt with fresh fruit is one of my faves! The protein in the Greek yogurt will keep you fuller longer! Good luck! :-)

    My mom used to make these apples with cottage cheese which is actually pretty tasty. Cut an apple in half and take out the core, put a few tbsp of cottage cheese in middle sprinkle on top some cinnamon and cook at 350 degrees for about half an hour....after its done you can even sprinkle with a few raisins on top if you like!

    I think it's really good if you top grilled or poached chicken with it. If I'm in a big hurry for dinner, I'll poach a chicken breast and top it with tomato sauce and some cottage cheese. It tastes like lasagna.

    I LOVE cottage cheese with salsa. I make a lunch out of that with some crackers. I eat a lot of cottage cheese, I sub it as a side dish for dinner often as well.

    I found a way to eat cottage cheese and I really enjoy it. I cut each orange section into small bite size and cut up green leaf lettuce and add the cottage cheese to the lettuce and oranges. To me it is delicious and really enjoy it. I am not a salad eater, but now I enjoy the salad. I hope you will enjoy this.

    We cook eggs with cottage cheese and some salsa, but i prefer it with just a bit of tastefully simple spinach and herb mix and some fresh veggies. or just on a spoon. I have always liked cottage cheese.

    I usually eat it just with salt and pepper or sometimes tomotoes. This may sound weird, but try different kinds. I have found some brands to be gross, but I love Meijer and prarie farms. So don't give up on it, try a different kind.

    I don't....can't stand cottage cheese. Blech!

    I can't stand it either. I really can't see how people eat it.

    ^ THIS! sooo good. also, it's actually VERY yummy with plain potato chips (which aren't so healthy, but hey! it's my treat!).

    I USED to eat Doritos with Cottage cheese too, :laugh:
