So Im not a huge fan of cottage cheese. The texture really gets to me and can at times make me gag.

I decided to give it another try though and I bought some and it has been glaring at me every time I open the fridge ever since.

So...What are some tips/ tricks/ recipes that you use to eat your cottage cheese besides the obvious fruit addition?

Thanks :)

    cottage cheese with cinnamon.

    cottage cheese with diced tomato, lemon juice, pepper and a dash of season salt.

    cottage cheese in a hollow tomato.

    cottage cheese with sugar free jam.

    I can only stand a few mouthfuls at a time and so I never buy it. I suggest you just scrap the cottage cheese total and cut your loses.. The only way I ever like it is on top of mashed potatoes, although not the best diet food.

    I eat mine on a baked potato with some salsa, also. But I am very particular, I only like Deans Low-Fat. Every other kind tastes like rotten milk to me.

    I LOVE it with salt and pepper. Or with bacon bits and sunflower seeds if It is at a salad bar.
    Have you tried small curd cottage cheese? Perhaps the slightly less "chunky" texture will help.

    I hate it when people do what I'm about to do...which is to answer a question not asked, but...

    Why do you want to choke down cottage cheese if you don't like it? Particularly if its the texture you don't like, what about yogurt? Or a dairy based smoothie?

    I'm quite particular too, I only eat the Knudsen small curd. I like it on english muffins or toast in lieu of cream cheese or butter. Or I'll just eat it straight up with a little salt/pepper/paprika or other seasoning.

    Mix the following into 1 pint of cottage cheese:

    2 T. Sour Cream
    1/8 tsp garlic powder
    1/8 tsp celery salt
    1/4 tsp dried parsley flakes
    1/8 tsp caraway seeds

    Let sit overnight.

    It's great with plain pasta and a touch of butter with salt, I also like it on spaghetti! If you don't mind the texture it is great with diced bell pepper, corn, shredded cheese, and crackers.

    To disguise it a bit. Mix it into a jello fruit salad. Sugar free lime jello, pineapple, walnuts, and cottage cheese all mixed together and allowed to sit up till the jello is firm is delicious! But it looks a little weird.

    Good Luck!

    Lasagna should be made with Ricotta

    If you don't like it don't eat it. I learned 1 thing from weight watchers and that is if you can't do it for the rest of your live then don't do it. I hate diet salad dressing so i use regular dressing and make my cuts other places in my diet. You have to eat the way you are eating for the rest of your life or you will just gain it back. So if you don't like it make changes you can stick with. This isn't a quick cure it is for the long term. I am 58 y/o and I am finally realizing that it is true.

    No -fat cottage cheese was one of my secret weapons that helped me lose my 50 lbs. I 'd take 1/2 cup and top it with 1 T light Caesar dressing and use it as a dip for my carrots. delicious and filling! I 'd put it in tiny containers and have a few ready to take with me for my work days. A major cross canada move and 15 lbs heavier :( i need to get back To that routine!

    BLAH! I'm with you, can not stand cottage cheese. I like ricotta cheese, it has a finer texture and goes great with cinnamon and a pinch of vanilla...YUM!

    I'm the same way with cottage cheese. I mix it with natural no sugar added applesauce and I've actually come to like the texture now. Hope that helps!

    Do you like the texture of pudding? If so, whip the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and add a few stawberries. If you wish to sweeten it, add half a packet of sweetner, or a scoop of protein powder. I do this with a full 500 ml container which I refill with the whipped mixture and then have about a half cup for desert or snack. Yum! :happy:
