    2. Get a fork.

    I personally love it with a honey drizzle and two dates chopped up. Very good.

    Try different brands. Each does taste different. I happen to love cottage cheese but I have a favorite and will make a trip to purchase it even if I need nothing else from that store.

    I LOVE cottage cheese because you can make it sweet or savory! I like to add a little frozen fruit (that's thawed in the fridge) to it, or a little cinnamon and honey, or a little sugar free jam! If I want it savory I like to mix it with salad shrimp and a dab or cocktail sauce, or cut an avodaco in half and put some in the middle with salt & pepper. The possabilities are endless, so yummy! Thanks for reminding me of a long lost snack option lol

    Where I come from we mix dry pressed cottage cheese with rum and raisins and use it as a crepe filling. For a savoury dish you can use it in a pasta-bacon-cottage cheese casserole.

    1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese + 1/2 cup Special K Red Berries + dash of cinnamon = 135 calories of a sweet, crunchy snack. :)

    I like cooking it in with my scrabbled eggs...makes them cheesier!

    I love it with strawberries and lots of pepper and on potatos.

    A very filling lunch: cottage cheese with avocado, tomato, cucumber, lots of black pepper, and a T of italian dressing. Delish!

    I prefer mine savory so I usually add a little seasoning salt and pepper. Yum! Sometimes I mix some veggies into it too, tomatoes are good.

    There are a ton of great ideas on this thread - but are you guys using WET or DRY cottage cheese?

    I find wet cottage cheese (the kind in whey) to be quite salty-tasting so I'm curious as to how it would taste with some of the "sweeter" suggestions.

    Is there anyone using dry cottage cheese (not in whey) in their suggestions? I tried dry cottage cheese (once with chopped cucumber and once with frozen blueberries) and I just can't stomach it; it was disgusting!!

    At my "usual" grocery store I can't find light or fat-free versions of the wet cottage cheese. The only fat-free cottage cheese I can find is the dry kind... which is why I ask what kind you're using.

    I don't, except if it's in lasagne filling or something like that. I can't get past the texture.

    I either put pepper on it or parmesean cheese. I like to eat it with triscuits or melba toast.

    I mash half a banana and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with a dash of cinnamon! So good!

    I purchased the canned pears with no sugar and eat with the cottage cheese. Love it!

    My favorite way is to dice up half of an avodaco, 1/3 of a peeled cucumber (adds a nice crunch), and then to cut grape tomatoes in half or quarters, then add salt & pepper. Not only does it look fantastic, it tastes great!

    hollow out the seeds of a small papaya and use your papaya bowl to hold your cottage cheese. Great flavor combo.
