    Fry up some onions, garlic, and celery (and meat if you want it) in butter or olive oil. Let it all cool down until just warm, then mix it with the cottage cheese.

    I like using it in a baked potato instead of butter and sour cream. It's really really good!

    As an appetizer while waiting for my dinner I like to sit in my recliner with a bowl of cottage cheese, some stalks of celery and a bottle of my favorite hot sauce. I will scoop up some cc into the end of the celery stalk and then pour a little hot sauce on the celery just above the "dam" created by the cc. Cold, crunchy and spicy all at the same time.

    Sometimes for breakfast, I will stir half a scoop of chocolate protein powder into my cottage cheese to create a tasty pudding.

    For lunch today I just scooped out of the container with a spoon and had it ala carte.

    I just seem to stick mine on top of a Ryvita....how do you have yours?

    Inspirational, mouth watering ideas would be very appreciated (not sure how likely that is though!) :smile:

    I chop up an apple into bite size chucnks, sprinkle the apple and cottage cheese with cinnamon and enjoy!! It is delicious!!

    Plain in an icecream 'Cake Cone' as a snack...

    As part of a meal, My wife is an Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian meaning she will eat dairy and eggs bot otherwise, only vegetable and grain products "If it has eyes and poops, it is off the plate" lol.

    Look up a recipe for "Cottage Cheese Loaf" or "Special K Loaf" it is a meatless "Meatloaf" if you will, sounds odd, but tastes amazing!

    with a spoon in it!
    I love cottage cheese and I like it plain
    However, I enjoy eating it with fresh tomatoes (sp?) but I like those plain as well.

    Also it is good to eat with baked veggie crackers or toast or tortilla chips if you want to add in carbs for a meal.
    I've mixed it with fresh salsa for this too.

    A friend of mine was replacing his rice with cottage cheese to help with his carbs intake. Interesting but I've not tried it.

    I love cottage cheese but just have it plain with a spoon straight out of the tub, no inspirational recipes I'm afraid :D

    As some others have noted, it's great mixed in with flavored yogurt - my fav is mixing it with Key Lime Pie yogurt!

    Another way to kind of make it a meal -

    Cottage cheese
    Grape Nuts
    Fresh sliced strawberries
    Sweetner to taste

    DELISH!

    Omg I never thought of pesto, or the sweet potato idea....

    Lately I've been trying it sweet - topped on a piece of toast, with cinnamon sprinkled on top and a few raisins. The raisins taste great with it

    That reminds me of the other I will eat it, almost like dessert. Stir in some liquid Sweet n Low. Almost ice creamish.

    People make fun of me for this and it looks kind of nasty but I love my cottage cheese with chopped turkey bacon or veggie sausage. Sometimes I'll eat it for lunch for a yummy, filling, 170-200 calorie lunch.

    With Avocado. I know it sounds gross but the textures really mix and it is the ultimate protien+good fat combo. Super satisfying.

    I add mandarin oranges , or peaches. I will also chop up green onions and celery in it and top it with Mrs Dash ( I like the Spicy ).
    It is all good.

    Cottage Cheese IS pretty versatile. When I don't have Ricotta Cheese on hand I'll use it and add 1 teaspoon Vanila and mix 1 bag of Truvia for a sugary dessert. I do like it better with Ricotta though. :happy:

    1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mashed blueberries, a drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon. So good!

    I like mine with sliced apples and some cinnamon. Apple cinnamon cottage cheese is amazing!
