    There's a great Jillian Michaels recipe that mixes cottage cheese, yogurt, almonds, and steel cut oates together and let sit overnight in frig. Tastes great and very filling! (Oh, also adds in vanilla extract)

    I LOVE it in my spaghetti... My mom did this all the time when we were growing up... Jar of Ragu (or your brand choice) with lots of add ins... olives, corn, peas, and then a big scoop of cottage cheese! Also prefer it to ricotta in lasagna ect...

    I'm going to try this w/out the brown sugar and raisins. I miss my ice cream for a bedtime snack and this might help.
    I have been eating it with cherry tomatoes and basil fresh from the garden and kind of a lot of pepper.
    Oops idk how to copy a post. I'm talking about the "apple cheese danish" one :)

    Put it on top of lettuce. I used to eat this a lot as a kid. I think I got the idea from my grandma and/or my mom. I have not enjoyed cottage cheese in a long time, but looking back at it, I think it tasted great because it was like having a salad with cheese and dressing.

    besides fruit I will often times just add some pepper or no-salt mrs dash, no extra calories really but tons more flavors.

    I mix my cottage cheese with an equal amount of canned pure pumpkin (Libby's), I add in pumpkin pie spice and some Truvia...omg is it good. I eat it daily. And pure pumpkin is amazing for you. :)

    just because you mentioned missing ice cream im going to give you another recipe, hopefully you see it!1 the ingredients are a bit more particular but it tastes just like ice cream and its such a healthy recovery bed time snack i have it everyday....

    the ingredients are:
    1 scoop of casein protein (i use cookies n cream flavour, ive had with chocolate too which is also good)
    1 TBSP of natural peanut butter OR 2 TBSP PB2
    1 cup almond milk

    mix the ingredients together until its a pudding like consistancy....put it in the freezer for about 30 min... its sooo good!!

    I have to hide cottage cheese, I like it in pancakes. Blend 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 3 egg whites, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, cook it in a pan, and top with sugar free syrup.

    I also mix it in with yogurt, sugar free pistachio pudding mix, and fruit cocktail.

    Sometimes I will mix it in with my oatmeal, it doesn't seem to affect the flavor of what I put in it, and has a similar texture to the oatmeal.

    I also like to mix cinnamon, and sweetener in it to dip apple slices in.

    I am loving the pancake recipe. I will have to try that

    I'm not a huge fan of the fruit with cottage cheese, but I love having it with tomatoes, (in fact did that for lunch today, someone had baby tomatoes and i just put a scoop full of cottage cheese on it and mmmmm, with pepper) and getting a can of the diced up jalepenos and mixing that in is good as well.

    oh the list is endless with cottage cheese!!!

    1. Tuna fish - cottage cheese is an excellent substitute for mayo. Doctor it up as if you were to have used mayo.
    2. PB2, Hershey cocoa powder - mix the 2 and you have reeses cup in your mouth (i also do this with greek yogurt). Add a banana into the mix, and wow - what a great dessert. I also freeze my cottage cheese when I make this....mixed berries work just as well. And I used the frozen kind. Great alternative to ice cream!
    3. Cinnamon and apples
    4. Mix kashi or fiber one cereal into the mix with fresh fruit - peaches or apple and cinnamon. Great breakfast
    5. Protein powder
    6. Salsa - great for dipping veggies in
    8. Use it in lasagnas instead of ricotta

    Sliced tomato and basil. I don't like cottage cheese, but my husband swears by it.

    I found no salt cottage cheese. It's kind of tasteless but I when you add some sugar free jam to cottage cheese it's yummy :smile:

    I added it to a chickpea spinach oatmeal patty (seasoned of course). Oh and cook/season the oatmeal before mixing snd broiling the patties. Small amt of olive oil mixed in as well.

    I stumbled upon a taste sensation!! I had pineapple cottage cheese and put some lemon-infused olives, all on some ryvita. Absolutely amazing!

    I put a dab of pesto in it.

    Sounds great!
