    I put it in my spaghetti.
    Weird, I know, but it makes it taste like lasagna and it gives a protein boost!!!

    Me too! Cottage cheese is good in anything tomato based, including soup.

    Plain.

    With a little pepper sprinkled on top.

    With a little dill sprinkled on top.

    Topped with sliced peaches.

    On top of a baked potato.

    Mixed into a can of tuna.

    I eat mine with fresh chopped fruit (Berries, pineapple and grapes) and flax seed on top, sometimes chopped walnuts too. I place the fruit and cottage cheese on Wasa crackers if I have them.

    I also use it in some recipes that called for ricotta cheese due to the less fat and calories.

    I usually have mine plain or with fruit. As for something different I also tried this and it was really good! Its portabello mushrooms filled with cottage cheese and parmesean and broiled.

    1/2 frozen banana

    Is there anything besides fruit?

    Berries (fruit) or you can mix it or blend it with a protein shake. I did that last night for my "desert".

    This is going to sound gross but I like mine on a salad with light western or french dressing!

    I don't like mine on a salad, but I drizzle Western Lite on mine - Still in the tub!

    TOTALLY trying this...

    I use cottage cheese in most of my protein shakes, less calories and still a LOT of protein

    1/2 c low fat cottage cheese
    1 scoop protein
    1/2 c water
    Ice

    Its super delish

    It's really good in eggs/ stir fry/ chili etc. It melts like regular cheese and adds protein. Also good on toast.

    I eat mine with a spoon. Sometimes if I'm feeling froggy, I'll use a fork to eat it, when I mix it with my spaghetti.

    I usually eat it with fruit, but I have recently learned its value using it as a dressing on salads.

    I also eat it with a ton of black pepper! It's also great with Mandarin oranges (drained) and canned pears or peaches!

    I like it mixed with poached/grilled boneless skinless chicken breast with a tablespoon of barbeque sauce.

    Sweet - with crushed pineapple, or any fruit really.

    Or, as a dip with veggies and a little bit of seasoning mixed in. (My kids eat the popcorn seasoning - Sour Cream & Onion, and that is great mixed in!)

    I use it in lasagna all the time, in place of mozzarella (except for a small bit on the top)

    Matter of fact I'm eating some now. I sprinkled it with dill today and I am dipping my celery stalks in it. I love it plain, with tomatoes, mixed up with salsa as a dip, in lasagna instead of ricotta cheese, I could go on and on and on. I personally do not like it with fruit though and I know that puts me in a limited % of the population.

    I make my cottage cheese like a salad a lot of times...I put in a little diced red onion, cucumber, grape tomatoes (cut in half), and a little avocado. Soooo Yummy. I usually eat this as my lunch. ;0)
