    YUM! I am tagging this so i can easily revisit these great ideas.

    ** You can also make a meal out of it with tuna and big tomato slices-- add a hard-boiled egg and you are proteined-up!!!

    I want to like cottage cheese... anything to do for the texture?

    You can blend it up in a food processor until smooth like thick yogurt

    I love cottage cheese plain, or just about ALL of the above-mentioned ways too! My favorite though? Protein pancakes! ....and they are so easy, low fat, and high in protein--of course!

    1/2 c. cottage cheese (I use 2%)
    1/2 c. egg whites (approx. 4 egg whites)
    1/2 c. rolled oats
    1 heaping tsp. baking powder
    dash cinnamon (optional)
    dash vanilla (optional)

    Blend all together in blender. Cook like regular pancakes, and top with frozen blueberries, thawed in the microwave in their own juices with maybe a little NATURAL sweetener like honey or Xylitol (my personal favorite because it's low carb), and smart beat non-fat squeeze butter, and a little natural peanut butter. Wow!! :tongue:

    Friendship brand sells it already whipped. It's more like a spread and has a much smoother texture. (1% milkfat)

    You can try Yogurt in it for protein and carb combo. Also applebutter or cinnamin gives it some flavor. Yogurt is my favorite!!!

    OMG, I've only ever had it plain or with peaches! I can't wait to try some of these! Good post!

    When eating in a baked potato do you put anything else on it?

    You have to find the right brand.

    You need a nice, tight small curd that is not too wet yet not too sour.


    When you find the right one, you will be in love forever.

    Here it is Knudsen low fat in the pink container. It's oerfect.

    You can also get large curd so it's not so....milky I guess. I prefer the large curd, but of course I can't find it in low fat :grumble:

    And I really like it with fruit like everyone else said...also with pickled beets! I once took some crackers to the container and that was pretty tasty too. I will have to try it on a baked potato!

    I personally don't put anything other than cottage cheese on mine, it's delicious just like that!

    Blend it up with homemade ranch dressing seasonings and some skim milk and use it as super power dressing :) I do the same with tofu sometimes, and the kids have NO CLUE!
