    I've added a little vanilla extract and a no calorie sweetener (splenda) and it tastes pretty good!

    I like it just plain too..

    My favorite is with peaches of course. But I think I have a recipe for lasagna that uses cottage cheese. I'm sure it's loaded with calories.

    I like to put 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, a sprinkle of sweetener and either a handful of blueberries or a tablespoon of almonds, per cup of cottage cheese. I eat this for breakfast almost every day.

    Today I ate it with steamed zucchini

    The other day I ate it with mashed carrots, potatoes and peas.

    I like the "salty" version.

    Wow, I've gotten lots of good ideas for cottage cheese...I may have to go to the grocery story and buy more! I eat it plain, but also like it with honey, fruit (pineapple is very good)...I will definitely be trying it in smoothies and with cinnamon, sounds great!

    I usually just eat mine with salt & pepper (mostly pepper) but I had a cottage cheese salad once that was really good. Mix the whole (well large) container with a packet of dry ranch dressing mix and then add chopped red and green pepper.

    I was at a resort in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia, near Martinsburg, I think. They served it with apple butter. That was pretty good, but not very low cal. I like to put a little Sweet n Low in it and some cinnamon, spread it on a piece of toast, and then broil. Kinda like cinnamon toast.

    A half cup of tuna and a half cup of cottage cheese with a tomato, and salt and pepper of course.

    I usually make a cottage cheese salad out of it: chives, tomatoes, avocado & onion.
    Or I mix it with something sweet like pineapple. You could also put like broccoli in it or something? it tastes good with salt and pepper. Maybe add some meat in it (:

    You can make eggplant lasagna and put low fat cottage cheese. If you don't like eggplant use cooked spinach. Try to buy the Dreamfield pasta, it has 65% lower glycemic index and its an excellent source of fiber. the more fiber less carbs.

    My usual breakfast is 1/2 c cottage cheese and 1/2 c yogurt (greek vanilla is my favourite). Sometimes I eat it just like that, other times I add any of the following or in combo: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, nectarines, bananas. Sometimes I've added ground flax seed too to add fibre and give it a bit of a nutty flavour. I find it quick and easy, and sticks with me for a long time! If you choose a low-cal enough yogurt, and depending what kind and how much fruit you add, it is easily a filling and under 300 calorie breakfast (I quite often will eat it for other meals too for a lighter day)

    To the poster that mentioned the French dressing! I forgot about that!! I discovered that years ago at a salad bar... accidentally got some Western French dressing on my cottage cheese.... and LOVED it!! I may have to try that again!!! :)
