new cottage cheese ideas?

Bump!! These looks so good!!!

I will mix in some chia seeds since the texture is already thick. Also mix with pureed pumpkin and some pumpkin pie spice. Throw in some nuts if I need more calories.

I also like to mix in 2 TB of fat-free dressing (italian or ranch) and use it as a veggie dip.

Also, 1/4 cup fat free shredded cheddar, 2 TB of bacon bits, and maybe a dash of salsa - it tastes like a loaded baked potato, without the potato.

(I'm a savory gal - I actually cannot eat cottage cheese with fruit!)

Add apple sauce and cinnamon.

bump for ideas

Chop up some fresh tomatoes and put in there. So good!

I've got a recipe for cottage cheese cake somewhere; will have to look for it. That was good, not too high in fat or sugar.

I mix in sunflower seeds, or I eat it on ezekial toast with a layer of avocado and tomato slices. I don't like it mixed with sweet stuff, I like it more savory.

I also use it as a topping on zucchini or cauliflower pancakes.

Mix it into ground beef/turkey meatloaf, or use mixture to stuff peppers or zucchini - really yummy and adds some nice moistness to the meat.

Also, this sounded great although I haven't tried it yet. From the World According to Eggface blogsite - she has some great high protein recipes.

White Chocolate Raspberry Cottage Cheese Pancakes

1/2 cup Cottage Cheese (I use pre-mixed cottage cheese with pineapple)
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour (I use Arrowhead Mills Multigrain Pancake Mix)
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free White Chocolate Pudding Mix, dry
12-15 Fresh Raspberries
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Raspberry Jam (I use Smucker's Simply Fruit), nuked

Whiz in mini food processor. Spray pan with non-stick spray. Cook on low till bubbles appear, press 2 halved raspberries into each pancake, flip. Cook till done. Nuke SF Raspberry Jam for 25 seconds so it drizzles well. Serve each pancake with a drizzle of warmed jam and more fresh raspberries. Makes 4 small pancakes (pictured) or 8 silver dollar size.

For the cottage cheese haters..I put mine in a food processor, to get rid of the lumps (can't stand them)..Then do 1/2 c.c and 1/2 "diet" flavored yogurt. I like it becuase it cuts down on the sugary taste, but you don't taste/feel the cottage cheese

1/2 Yves Veggie Cuisine - Spicey Italian Veggie Sausage
Fat Free Cottage cheese mixed with some soy sauce
2 tablespoons of cooked brown rice

I like it spicy...salsa or hot sauce (and a bit of fresh ground pepper) mixed in.

Yeah - me also, try mixing in some Skhug hot sauce if you can find it - don't fully mix it in, leave it in bits and pieces

I put cottage cheese in my salads all the time instead of dressing.

Yes I do this also...works great!

I have 2 great ideas as I love cottage cheese but needed something else besides fruit. The first is a dessert/salad recipe. Take a 16 oz. cottage cheese fat free, add a 3 oz. box of sugar free jello powder and a small can of pineapple packed in it's own juice and mix well until it is all colored from the jello. I like lime flavor the best but have made it with strawberry and grape jello. Then fold in a small Cool Whip and refrigerate a few hours. The next way is how I like it. Take your cottage cheese and add 1/2 of a minced small onion, and add salt and pepper to taste. This is what I use instead of potatoes. also, if you eat noodles you can cook your noodles, drain them and add the cottage cheese with the onions and s&p and slightly heat them until hot. this can be a meal. If you like cottage cheese you will like these recipes. I also eat plain cottage cheese on toast with some sugar free jam.

i have always hated cottage cheese, but my mini goal for this week is to attempt to like it. i will be trying a few of these! thanks!

I could not stand cottage cheese..until I tried the small curd. I like mine with some pineapple. I am excited to blend it and mix it with some peanut butter then freeze.
