    Very fast to make for breakfast- scoop cottage cheese, stir in cup of fav light yogurt. Also good with any kind of fruit, or with sliced tomatoes. I think I need to use it more- thanks for all the ideas!

    This cottage cheese recipe is one that is more of a treat although we like it for breakfast.

    500 ml of non fat cottage cheese
    500 ml of cool-whip free
    1 pkg of sugar free jello powder in the flavour of your choice
    Lots of fruit (if its canned then you must drain it)

    Let it sit in the fridge for an hour and it stiffens a little but you can eat it right away if you are that hungry. :)

    WE LOVE THIS!!!

    We call it Chocolate Surprise.

    I never knew you can do so many things with cottage cheese. I will have to try some of these as I have only recently started to like cottage cheese with pineapple.

    I top it with berries and a drizzle of honey. The combination of sweet and salty is lovely!

    1/2 cup low fat, low sugar, low sodium marinara sauce

    In a small, microwaveable bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella, and sauce. Stir to mix. Microwave on medium power for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and the mixture is hot. Serve immediately.

    I use cottage cheese with my families favorite spegetti sauce that I make with tons of veggies. You don't even miss the noodles. Top it with low fat parmisian and you have got one healthy, filling, high protein meal. Also I mix 1/2 cup cottage cheese with pineapple with 3 tbs pancake mix (whole wheat), 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/8 tsp baking soda, 2 tbs sugar free lemon pudding and 2 tbs sugar free orange marmilade, blend together and cook like any other pancake. Serve either with warmed orange marmalaid or sugar free syrup. YYYYYYYYYYYYuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy!!!!

    Here is one for a spinach casserole. I served it at a party and only a few people tried it at first, but then they started asking for the recipe and soon it was all gone:

    2 boxes frozen spinach, thawed and patted dry
    16 oz cottage cheese
    3 egg whites (or egg substitute)
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

    Mix the first 3 ingredients and spoon in to a 9X9 (or similar) pan. Top with parmesan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

    I got these two recipes (not really recipes but ideas) from Dr. Oz's Real Age website...They are both yummy!

    Fruity Cottage Cheese
    3/4 Cup low Fat Cottage Cheese
    Top with:
    1/2 Banana sliced
    5 strawberries sliced
    2 Tbs walnuts chopped

    English Muffin W/Cottage Cheese

    Toast 1 whole wheat english muffin
    Top each half with:
    2 Tbs low fat cottage cheese
    Drizzle with honey
    Sprinkle with ground cinnamon.


    These two recipes make a great "filling" breakfast.
    Enjoy!
    :)

    I add it on top of a tossed salad instead of salad dressing. Add a dash of salt and pepper and a sprinkle of dill. Yum it makes a fresh and filling meal.:love:
