    I make a sundae with cottage cheese. Put 1 to 2 cups fresh or defrosted bluberries (always in the freezer) in a shallow soup bowl. Add a scoop of low fat cottage cheese. Slice 1/2 banana on top of cottage cheese. Sprinkle with 1 tsp. chopped walnuts, and finish with a shake of cinnamin. Really great lunch.

    Give it away. It has too much sodium.

    You can add some fruit or pumpkin and a bit of stevia or splenda, or some real maple, lots of things. You're only limited by your imagination and the types of things you're hungry for.

    Chop up some pineapple and eat it with the cottage cheese. Or with celery sticks. I've also used it like mayo for egg sandwhiches

    I just eat it. Breakstones has a 100 cal cup that comes with fruit, I usually take them to work for a snack in between meals.

    I started adding cottage cheese to my eggs last week. I eat 1 egg, 1/8 cup cottage cheese, and some diced peppers and onions. It's so filling!

    Good ideas! I like mine with pepper and seasoned salt or red hot sauce or green Tobasco sauce. In general I'm more of a spicy/salty person than a sweets person. Very interested to read through anyone else's spicy/salty cottage cheese suggestions.

    I love cottage cheese... way more than I should. It disappears from my fridge very quickly, because I'm completely content to just eat it plain :).

    Favorite toppings: sriracha, pineapple, peaches, granola.
    Favorite uses: Lasagna, quiche.

    I use it in place of mayo in my chicken salad, or I eat it plain :)

    1 large apple
    3-4 sticks of celery
    couple of chicken breasts
    Grapes or cherries, cut up
    salt/pepper/cayenne
    cottage cheese about 2/3 cup

    makes enough for several servings

    The better question to ask would be, "What CAN'T you do with cottage cheese?"

    (I don't eat much of it because I've found i'm sensitive to dairy... but I LOVE it)

    You can:

    Mix it with fruit and granola or nuts

    Mix it with taco spice and dip in tortilla chips

    (Never add it to scrambled eggs... turns out very gross)

    Add dried spinach and dip in french bread or pitas pieces

    Use it in baked noodles or lasagna

    Use it in smoothies

    Sprinkle with Old Bay and enjoy

    Top with hot sauce and enjoy

    Mix with fresh berries and eat

    Mix with Pico de Gallo and enjoy

    Add it to salad as a dressing

    Blend with fruit and freeze in paper cups with sticks to eat tomorrow

    Anything you can imagine.... almost. ;)
