  • I put cottage cheese on top of my waffles - add a bit of low sugar syrup and you have a great breakfast! :)

    With Pineapple, crushed or chunks is my FAVORITE.
    I have also just sprinkled it with Mrs. Dash or McCormicks Garlic and Red Pepper

    I eat it with salsa, which is also low in calories!

    i usually eat mine in a 1/2 of a cantaloupe i will scoop out the seeds and then put about a cup of cottage cheese in the center so noms! great breakfast.

    me myself not too big on yogurt but looking for more protein i did get greek yogurt and will use it with a bit of honey to dip my apples in as a night snack

    I eat cottage cheese almost daily....love it. In the winter, I even put a scoop of it on top of the ProPlan I feed my Labrador Retrievers.

    For us humans, It's quick and easy to make a low calorie pancake with it. Here's what I do:

    1/3 C cottage cheese
    3 TBSP whole wheat flour
    1 Egg

    Mix together, pour/spread onto a skillet, when bubbles appear, flip once and done. Top with fruit, syrup, nuts, etc...

    My favorite way is to mix in a spoonful of low sugar orange marmalade. Yum! Disclaimer: not a good idea if you don't like orange marmalade. :tongue:

    I love orange marmalade, this is a great idea!

    Another egg salad idea. Mash 1 hard boiled egg with 1/2 c cottage cheese. Add a little minced onion and pickle. The best part add about 2t pickle juice and mix well. Excellent sandwich filling.

    I mix two of my absolute most favoritist things together - cottage cheese and mangos. I also like it with blueberries or strawberries.

    One last way I have it is with a Yoplait or other greek yogurt with fruit mixed in. Add granola too.

    Enjoy!

    My favorite way to eat it is mixed with cinnamon, splenda (or choice of sweetener/sugar) and any type of fruit. It also works really well with recipes that call for tomato sauce. I love adding it as a filler for lasagna or even mixed with eggs in my egg frittata dish.

    I eat cottage cheese almost every day..Fat free kind. (I like Kroger's brand best).

    UGH! For what little calories the fat free saves, I gotta go with the 4% small curd myself. And yeah, Kroger brand ROCKS!

    i have had it with jacket potato. the stuff is an acquired taste that my tongue isnt used to yet.
  • Cottage cheese and garlic peta chips! I looooooove that snack! :)
  • Hi

    I mix mine with various...

    Almond or Peanut Butter ...yummy.

    Chocolate Whey Protein...yummy

    Stevia or Spenda wih Cinnamon...yummy.

    Enjoy.
  • Salt and pepper is yummy if you get used to/like the taste.
    Fruit. Especially pineapple is also good.
    If you google recipes with cottage cheese there are a ton out there (allrecipes.com is my fave) but that's a way to work it into your diet if you don't like or can't stomach it plain
  • I use it several different ways, but here are some of my favs:

    As a side dish:

    Add diced tomatoes, chopped green onion (scallion) and a Tbsp or so of fat free ranch dressing. Stir.

    As a vegetable dip:

    Puree an entire 1 lb. carton in a blender. Stir in one package of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (powder). Blend again.
    You can use this as a dip, or dilute a portion with fat free milk or fat free buttermilk for a delicious low-fat, low-cal salad dressing that is SO much better than the bottled stuff.

    As a dessert:

    Stir in cinnamon and honey. Layer with applesauce, like a parfait.

    Add a teaspoon of honey. Serve with fruit of choice. (I love it with pineapple, blueberries, cut strawberries, or mango).
  • I like it in my tossed salad sometimes instead of grilled chicken...I don't eat a lot of meat but like to add proteins to my salad.

    A friend of mine mixed it with pineapple salsa when she was visiting, which I thought was gross until I tasted it. Yum! Highly recommend.
  • well i suggest goggling some Indian recipes... we use cottage cheese a lot.
  • Eat it with celery. It takes more calories to eat the celery than are contained in the celery itself. Or have it on Ryvita crackers. That's nice. I prefer quark myself.

    Split open a chicken breast, chop garlic and add to a tablespoon of quark, stuff inside a slitted chicken breast and wrap in bacon and bake in oven (put in foil) for 45-60 minutes (depending on whether you got a fan assisted oven for whether 45 or 60 minutes). You can brush with add and sprinkle on a few home made breadcrumbs and serve with salad. White breadcrumbs are best but not the ready made packet crumb ones.

    Serve with salad. Enjoy!!!!

    i hate cottage cheese and have tried many ways to get it down, BEst thing ive found so far is to mix some sugar free pistacio pudding mix in it,
  • GUESS WHAT?! ! I love cottage cheese now, and with all these great ideas I've found a delicious way to enjoy it every day now. :D

    ***With fresh basil and tomato sprinkled with pepper****
  • One of my favourite ways to have cottage cheese is this.
    Put half a tin of chooped toms in a rice cooker with 100g basmati rice top up with water and add a chopped onion, brocolli and peppers and whatever spices you want. let that cook and once done i mix in a tin of tuna and cottage cheese and always tastes awesome.

    It's also ok to not eat cottage chees if you don't like it. I wanted to like pea protein because it could help with my goals but I don't. Probably won't bother buyin it again!

    Or you could blend it with curry powder and tumeric to make a yummy veggie dip:)
