    Melt 1-2 tablespoons of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips with a touch of milk in microwave (about1.5 min on 50% power). Add sliced strawberries and a scoop of cottage cheese to your bowl. Warm, cold, sweet, tart and a little salty..and antioxidants all in one bowl!

    I mix it with any kind of fruit. I like it best with peaches or pineapple.

    I make a vegetable dip
    1 large container cottage cheese
    1 envelope dry hidden valley ranch dressing mix
    1/2 cup light miracle whip(you can use yogurt if you prefer)

    put all in food processor and process till smooth
    if you want it thinner add bit of milk
    dip cut up veggies in it

    I also just eat it plain or with fruit

    My mom used to make this as a salad with dinner. The sweet/salty combo make it addicting.

    Put some shredded/chopped lettuce on the bottom of a bowl. Add a 1/2 cup scoop of cottage cheese. Add one canned pear half (no sugar added!) and a sprinkle of low fat cheddar cheese on top (1-2 TBS). Enjoy! The cheddar on top might seem weird, but a bite of everything together is delicious!!

    I agree - I like it best with canned fruit (pears are my favorite) or with nuts and raisins.

    We eat it with fresh tomatoes and herbs. If I need something crunchy then I add diced cucumbers or zuchini.

    Try low-fat ricotta, it's even better for you, no sodium. Tastes good cold or hot.

    I know some people who used to mix cottage cheese with blueberries and heat it up a little. Try breaking up a graham cracker in there . . . and you'll need some splenda and vanilla too, perhaps a touch of cinnamon. Could make a nice tasting dessert !

    Try beating in in a food processor with some fat free cream cheese, could make a nice dip if you can get it smooth enough. Then you could make a cheese ball or something out of it.

    You could also use it to make a LASAGNE for one person, just boil up one of those long ruffly noodles until pretty much al dente (longer than you would for regular lasagne), spread it with 1/3 cup cottage cheese or ricotta mixed with 1 tablespoon parmesan and about 1-2 tablespoons egg beaters, pinch nutmeg. Spread along the cooked noodle, roll up, put in a 2 cup casserole dish for one. Top with 1/2 cup or so tomato sauce, cover with foil and bake about 30 minutes, add some lo-cal mozarrella, smoked provolone, or muenster half way through and cook until melted. Repeat as needed for other members of the fam, or just cook for yourself. My hubby could eat two of these.

    Search for the recipe for biggest loser oatmeal pancakes on here. They are made with cottage cheese & oatmeal. They are delicious, especially if you mix blueberries in there.

    I like to eat it with fruit, pineapples are my favorite. I also love it with a whole wheat waffle I spread it on and add some sugar free jelly to it as well, quick and easy breakfast on the run.

    Love this thread, I usually just use it as a jacket potatoe filler, in a salad or as a dip for celery, carrots, red pepper and apples ... but I'm going to have to try some of these other ideas some sound amazing !!
