    I found one called Ethiopian Spiced Cottage Cheese, while looking for Ethiopian dishes.

    I will mix in some chia seeds since the texture is already thick. Also mix with pureed pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. Throw in some nuts if I need more calories.

    I also like to mix in 2 TB of fat-free dressing (italian or ranch) and use it as a veggie dip.

    Also, 1/4 cup fat free shredded cheddar, 2 TB of bacon bits, and maybe a dash of salsa - it tastes like a loaded baked potato, without the potato.

    (I'm a savory gal - I actually cannot eat cottage cheese with fruit!)

    There are a number of noodle recipes online that include cottage cheese either with onions, cabbage, or bacon. I made pasta with cottage cheese and sauteed onions as the sauce the other day and it was quite good.

    Chop up some fresh tomatoes and put in there. So good!

    I've got a recipe for cottage cheese cake somewhere; will have to look for it. That was good, not too high in fat or sugar.

    I mix in sunflower seeds, or I eat it on ezekial toast with a layer of avocado and tomato slices. I don't like it mixed with sweet stuff, I like it more savory.

    I also use it as a topping on zucchini or cauliflower pancakes.

    Mix it into ground beef/turkey meatloaf, or use mixture to stuff peppers or zucchini - really yummy and adds some nice moistness to the meat.

    Also, this sounded great although I haven't tried it yet. From the World According to Eggface blogsite - she has some great high protein recipes.

    White Chocolate Raspberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes

    1/2 cup Cottage Cheese (I use pre-mixed cottage cheese with pineapple)
    1 Egg
    3 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour (I use Arrowhead Mills Multigrain Pancake Mix)
    1 Tablespoon Sugar Free White Chocolate Pudding Mix, dry
    12-15 Fresh Raspberries
    1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Raspberry Jam (I use Smucker's Simply Fruit), nuked

    Whiz in mini food processor. Spray pan with non-stick spray. Cook on low till bubbles appear, press 2 halved raspberries into each pancake, flip. Cook till done. Nuke SF Raspberry Jam for 25 seconds so it drizzles well. Serve each pancake with a drizzle of warmed jam and more fresh raspberries. Makes 4 small pancakes (pictured) or 8 silver dollar size.

    I haven't really eaten much cottage cheese but I think I will try a few of the ideas posted here.

    My husband likes it with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder.

    For the cottage cheese haters..I put mine in a food processor, to get rid of the lumps (can't stand them)..Then do 1/2 c.c and 1/2 "diet" flavored yogurt. I like it becuase it cuts down on the sugary taste, but you don't taste/feel the cottage cheese
