    As weird as it sounds it is PERFECT in smoothies. Makes shakes creamy and thick

    I place cottage cheese on my salads and and skip salad dressing. I also eat with fruit, peaches or pineapple are my favorites.

    Love the stuff! Always have. Plain or with pepper or with fruit, usually pineapple or strawberries, or a dip for whole grain crackers. Yum.

    The lowfat (1%) is a great source of lean protein. I'll serve it as a side with dinner when it's been a low protein day, or offer it as an alternate protein choice for my kids when when they don't like what I made :tongue:

    One of my friends swears it's delicious with French dressing. Can't say myself, I don't like French dressing.

    I like the oregano idea someone posted. Definitely going to try that!

    I love it. Especially the large curd kind (hard to find in low fat). Just a little black pepper and sometimes cucumbers to use as "chips" to dip in it.

    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.

    ^^ This. I love cottage cheese, but sometimes when I get it, it seems like it's really dry and that's no good. I like pineapples or peaches with mine, but I also like it plain. I've never had it with salt or pepper, I guess I'll have to try that?? I can't imagine it, haha. But definitely know that the moist-er cottage cheese is better than the dry. :)

    I'm not a fan but my mom ADORES the stuff, started eating it like twice a day when she found out it was so protein-packed. She calls it her "superfood" and eats it plain. xD

    I think I'd eat it with jam, if I were going to eat any. But I'm happy just leaving it to my mom. ^^

    Love it with lemon pepper and avocado or tomatoes and goes with pretty much any kind of fruit! I also put in pasta sauce
    I have never tried it with avocado (this is a must to try tonight with dinner). I have always eaten mine with pineapple, peaches or pears or on the side with pasta with red sauce.

    This is probably gonna sounds super weird... but I grew up eating cottage cheese with mashed potatoes. I'm vegan now so I don't eat dairy, but it was a really good combo lol.

    I love it! I usually mix a little up with my salads, rather than dressing. Give it a try sometime! :)

    Oh goodness I cannot even look at it without wanting to hurl. I think it's a texture issue or something. Not sure. My mom eats it all the time though. With pepper, or with applesauce. :p

    I like it. I buy the "no salt added" store brand. Basically, it doesn't taste very strongly of anything on its own. It's so bland you can use it for anything really. I often put a little dab of pesto in it.

    The regular cottage cheese that has something like 480mg of sodium just tastes like salt to me.

    Love it.
    Though I tend to prefer the brands higher in sodium, which probably isn't a good thing...
    I used to add All Bran flakes to it for some crunch, until I started trying to cut down on my carbs. It's great on its own though.
