    with a spoon in it!
    I love cottage cheese and I like it plain
    However, I enjoy eating it with fresh tomatoes (sp?) but I like those plain as well.

    Also it is good to eat with baked veggie crackers or toast or tortilla chips if you want to add in carbs for a meal.
    I've mixed it with fresh salsa for this too.

    A friend of mine was replacing his rice with cottage cheese to help with his carbs intake. Interesting but I've not tried it.

    I love cottage cheese but just have it plain with a spoon straight out of the tub, no inspirational recipes I'm afraid :D

    As some others have noted, it's great mixed in with flavored yogurt - my fav is mixing it with Key Lime Pie yogurt!

    Another way to kind of make it a meal -

    Cottage cheese
    Grape Nuts
    Fresh sliced strawberries
    Sweetner to taste

    DELISH!

    Omg I never thought of pesto, or the sweet potato idea....

    Lately I've been trying it sweet - topped on a piece of toast, with cinnamon sprinkled on top and a few raisins. The raisins taste great with it

    That reminds me of the other I will eat it, almost like dessert. Stir in some liquid Sweet n Low. Almost ice creamish.

    People make fun of me for this and it looks kind of nasty but I love my cottage cheese with chopped turkey bacon or veggie sausage. Sometimes I'll eat it for lunch for a yummy, filling, 170-200 calorie lunch.

    With Avocado. I know it sounds gross but the textures really mix and it is the ultimate protien+good fat combo. Super satisfying.

    I add mandarin oranges , or peaches. I will also chop up green onions and celery in it and top it with Mrs Dash ( I like the Spicy ).
    It is all good.

    Cottage Cheese IS pretty versatile. When I don't have Ricotta Cheese on hand I'll use it and add 1 teaspoon Vanila and mix 1 bag of Truvia for a sugary dessert. I do like it better with Ricotta though. :happy:

    1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mashed blueberries, a drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon. So good!
