Cottage Cheese....Like it or not?

sarrylove

So, call me crazy, but I have NEVER eaten cottage cheese alone. I've only ever had it if it has been cooked in something so I don't really know what it tastes like. I have been wanting to try it, perhaps with fruit because I have heard that is good together. Would like to get input on how people like it and how you eat it!!

I love it with strawberries or kiwifruit. I'm sure any fruit will do!

Salt and pepper for me. Just finished my half cup bedtime snack!

OMG LOVEEEEEE me some cottage cheese! Grew up eating it but stopped for a long time because those around me didnt like it. Now I really enjoy it all the more because its GOOD for me! I eat it plain jane!

I love love love it by itself, but I'm unsure of which brand to buy. I bought one a while back that was really nasty and tasted nothing like what cottage cheese should taste like.

Which brands do you guys like best?

Love cottage cheese. Add some black pepper, pineapple, or blueberries. Use it in place of Ricotta Cheese. A nice snack in the evening by itself. Love the stuff, anything goes.

Avoid the Wal-Mart brand, it is too bitter for my taste. We have Publix down here and their store brand of 2% is excellent, unfortunately you do not have any Publix's up your way.

I prefer it by itself, sometimes with pepper.

If you don't like it, you can always cook it into something. When I have too much to eat, I make it into oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes. You'd never know it's in there!

I love it!

Like it plain or with fruit, Pears are my favorite. Also use it to cook with. You should give it a try, its delicious.

I had it tonight as a side dish plain. I eat it that way a lot because having it with crackers would add to many carbs to my day.

I buy "no name"
It's cheap. I have bought other brands (maybe Dairyland or Beatrice) and can't say I've ever noticed any difference among any of them!

Love it with lemon pepper and avocado or tomatoes and goes with pretty much any kind of fruit! I also put in pasta sauce

If you blend 1/2 cup of cottage cheese until smooth with Splenda and cinnamon, then mix it up with a chopped apple - it is sooooo good

I love my cottage cheese with mandarin oranges or fresh pineapple. YUMMY!

I haven't been able to eat it, smell it or even look at it since HS Honors Bio class. We made it in class. YUCK.

I cannot eat it. Tastes gross to me and the texture freaks me out.
My husband loves it! He eats it straight out of the container, no add-in.

The only way I will eat it, is in a protein shake, then it's blended and doesn't taste like cottage cheese anymore

I like sliced peaches on top of my cottage cheese! I rarely eat dairy anymore, but I always grew up eating cottage cheese with black pepper as a side to every meal - usually some form of potatoes, meat, and cottage cheese with bread and butter for every meal with the family.

I have to try this...never thought to BLEND it!

I've always hated the texture of cottage cheese!

LOVE IT and I miss it dearly on my Keto diet. I can basically have 3 tablespoons but don't trust myself enough to stop.

It's funny, I like it but only once in a while... like twice a year. If I buy a 500 ml container I can only get through about a third of it.

Sadly, my favourite way to enjoy cottage cheese is in lasagne. :blushing:

I do love cottage cheese. Preferably with pineapple.

Aventuria

I love cottage cheese, if it is cooked in dishes or by itself - yummy!

I eat it a lot as a snack (sometimes with a bit of pepper and chili) together with raw veggies.as a kind of dip!

I don't like the sweet version (eg with cinnamon) though... :-/

Have a great day!

I love to sprinkle Season All over the top.
I love the 'full octane' cottage cheese -- not the lite.
I love the 'small curd'.
Fav brands: Turner, Dean's, and (surprise) Wal-Mart home brand is pretty good.

I also love cottage cheese as a side with salads or mexican dishes like black beans/sweet corn/ salsa.

Yummy!!!

sarrylove

Thanks for all of the feedback! I am definitely going to give it a try!!

airangel59

I put garlic powder/salt/pepper on mine, usually on slice of 45c toast, topped off with a slice of tomato.

Also have diced up some tomatoes/cukes and had it that way as a side.

I get low fat or fat free and prefer small curds, whatever brand is on sale works for me.

Today at work we were talking about ways to eat cottage cheese. I read through the posts and didn't find this way which I have not tried yet. Mix oregano and grated lowfat parmesan cheese with the cottage cheese. I prefer my cottage cheese plain, but am thinking of trying it with oregano. Sounds really interesting.

I love me some cottage cheese.

I buy "small curd" regular cottage cheese - not the light.

I like it with peaches, pineapple, cantaloupe, and tomatoes.

I also love to put it on a baked potato instead of sour cream. And I don't use any butter with it. It's nutritious and filling.

It's one of my all time favorite foods. But some brands are really gross. I hate the kinds that are really dry. I usually buy Darigold 2% but the last container I got of it was a bit on the dry side. I hope they didn't change the process of how they make it! It's delicious with fruit I mix mine with applesauce. It doesn't look like the most appetizing thing in the world but it tastes SOOOO good

I love Cottage Cheese with Pineapple. I also put it on my salads instead of Ranch!!

lyttlewon

Hate.

valeriebpdx

Not if it was the last food on earth.

KStambulic

Only when it's cooked into a lasagne.
