Does anyone have any suggestions as what to do with cottage cheese? I usually mix it with nuts or berries but other than that i have no other method of eating it... And i find that alone it tastes pretty bland :S suggestions?

    Its good with Pears or peaches also. You can cook with it, I put it in some recipes. The one that comes to mind is lasagna, but thats not real healthy

    My favorite way to eat cottage cheese is with an Israeli / Arab salad, which is finely chopped cucumber, tomato and colored peppers with a dash of olive oil, some lemon juice and some za'atar (a middle eastern spice you can find in any number of grocery stores around the US). I'll put a cup of that salad over a third cup of cottage cheese and sometimes mix in some feta. Yum! I find it also goes well with a fried egg.

    I just started making this:

    I use PB2 and liquid stevia. SO good, and as long as you process it enough, it really does have a light airy texture.

    I like to add about 1/4 tablespoon of reduced fat grated parmesan cheese to 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, then a little garlic powder and pepper to taste...odd combo, but super good!

    Mix it into your smoothies and shakes!
    Use a blender and you get a VERY creamy shake

    Have you tried adding it to stuff like vanilla yogurt? I usually get the totally tasteless dry curd so it's not yucky.

    I like mine with 2 Splenda packets, a 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon for a half cup serving of low fat caottage cheese. It's almost like a rice pudding. YUM!

    I'm not sure if you were responding to me (the pesto). I eat it by itself as a snack, but you're right, it would make a great spread, especially if you blended it!

    I like to dip pretzels in it.

    There's a recipe on allrecipes.com for a pasta with a cottage cheese sauce that even the picky eaters in my family thought was pretty good. In fact, that site has a lot of recipes you can find if you do an ingredient search and type in cottage cheese.

    This grosses my husband out, but I like a light splash of soy sauce or red wine vinegar on cottage cheese, too

    We make cottage cheese salad: mix in cut up cucumber, a little light mayo (or yogurt) and Mrs. Dash and it's done! So easy and so good. :happy:
