    I'm a vegetarian too!

    I usually eat cottage cheese with either pineapple or a tablespoon of strawberry/blackberry preserves.

    Or I'll mix in a tablespoon of almond butter / peanut butter / nutella.

    Or I'll mix it with tomato sauce and eat with pasta/veggies- it makes it really creamy and delicious!

    I eat cottage cheese almost every day! Usually with just a little pepper, but sometimes I'll eat it with fruit instead. Had some yesterday with fresh pineapple. Delish!

    Just eat it. Salt and pepper.
    In another life, I used it as a dip with nacho Doritos. Oh heaven.
    Drop a spoonful in a bowl of chili. Delish.

    I love cottage cheese, and like it plain. But black pepper mixed in is delicious as well!

    I like to make a dip using cottage cheese, greek yogurt, and things like garlic powder, chopped green onion, dill, parsley, onion powder (I blend till it is smooth). Can use as a topping for a baked potato, dip for veggies, in a wrap, etc.

    Can also blend it with an egg and some herbs to use as the cheese layer in lasagna or baked pasta

    Oh! I just remembered a recipe I have for high protein waffles that use both greek yogurt and cottage cheese but don't taste like they do. Even my hubby loves them. Let me go searching for it...

    ..okay, here it is:

    80 g Rolled Oats (not quick oats)
    1 cup 0% Fage Greek Yogurt
    4 large Eggs (or 5 egg whites, or 1 cup egg substitute to reduce fat)
    ½ cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese
    1/8 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup (can exclude if preferred, but add 1 more teaspoon of Vanilla extract and a teaspoon of your preferred sweetener)
    1 tsp Vanilla Extract
    2 tsp Baking Powder
    ½ tsp Salt

    12-24 hours before: soak oats in the yogurt. This should be done at room temperature or warmer, in a glass bowl, covered with a clean dish towel. (don't worry, this can stay out overnight and not go bad)

    Day of: in blender, mix together eggs and cottage cheese. Add soaked oats, syrup, and vanilla and blend until oat pieces have been ground smooth. Blend in 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp fine sea salt.

    Pour from blender pitcher into a hot waffle iron and cook as per the waffle iron instructions.

    I use it as a dip with seasoning mixed in... (onion dry soup mix or Santa Maria style seasoning, lemon pepper) sweet peppers or English cucumbers instead of crackers.

    or fresh strawberries and stevia sweetner for something sweet...

    I am trying to manage my carbs so I do appreciate Cottage cheese and the same one you are using, Nancy's cultured org.

    I like to mix cinnamon into it. Or it goes pretty unnoticed if you blend it into yogurt. If you like hummus, mix it into some of that and eat with veggies. Yum!
