    DEE,

    That is how i like mine....just like your brother LOADED with pepper and after it is room temp, if it is cold, nope...can't eat it.
    That is why i love reading the forums, in my RL, i haven't talked to one other person that likes CC loaded with black pepper ( even good with red pepper)


    From, Linia
    ????????????????????????????????

    .....
    My brother eats his loaded with pepper. I find that's pretty much the only way I can get past the taste and texture, too, but I can't put as much pepper on it as he does or I wouldn't be able to breath.

    If you can't find a way to eat it so you actually like it, don't eat it as it isn't worth it and look for another option.

    I may have to try the applesauce though.

    I sometimes put salt and pepper on it for lunch or supper and for breakfast I chop up an apple and banana and mix with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Then I sprinkle a little cinnamon on top and about 3 almonds chopped up.

    I mix cottage cheese and Granola for breakfast every morning. I can't drink milk, so cottage cheese is my subsitute. I just use the fat free cottage cheese and it does't bother my stomach, like milk.

    a cup of cottage cheese mixed with some flavoured whey. epic dessert. otherwise add some frozen strawberries/blueberries and let the fruit thaw a little..mix that and you got another epic dessert(sorbet texture)

    1/2 C cottage cheese
    1/2 tomato, diced
    1/3 of whole green pepper, diced
    1/3 of whole cucumber, seeded and diced
    seasoned pepper
    seasoned salt
    basil

    So tasty, especially when tomatoes are at their best!

    I like to eat it with pineapple or a little Mrs. Dash. Sometimes just a little salt and pepper.

    On fresh baby spinach with salt and pepper-maybe a dash of red pepper. I also like a small amount of salad dressing-it makes a great salad without having to add a lot of dressing.

    I honestly always thought cottage cheese was for like chips, sandwhiches and tacos. I never knew it could be used on fruits and veggies. I even see some people use it in parfait!

    I mixed some protein shake mix into mine just now. Usually just eat it plain tho.

    I used to always eat it with a spoonful of grape jelly. Delicious.

    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.
    This - some have big curdles some small, some are more milky some more dry, some are bitter/tangy, others not. I like most, but not the tangy ones. If I had that only, I would think cottage cheese is just disgusting :tongue:

    I take 1 cup cottage cheese and 1/3 cup salsa(Green Mountain). Mix that up and that is the perfect snack for me. I also put salsa on a baked potato.

    ok so what brands do you like? I prefer non tangy cottage cheese any reccomendations?

    My fave ways to eat CC halved grapes, walnuts, and a pinch of sugar.
    -add herbs, garlic whatever seasoning im in the mood for and add it to my salad.
    -recently was using what was in my fridge and sautéed some grape tomatoes with onions and garlic put it on top of some spaghetti squash and added a half cup of CC. it was really good and filling.

    What brands do you have available? I've lived in a few places and it is always a bit of a trial and error to find the best in each country/region. Right now, out of what I can get at the store, Knudsen is my favorite.
