I really like the idea of cottage cheese and its not terrible tasting, just for someone reason I cant just put a little pepper on it and eat it! I got some at the store last week and its just sitting in my fridge so I wanted to know if anyone has some good recipes for it! Thanks!

    Goes well with all fruit, but for savory:

    Mix it with garlic powder, olive oil (optional), salt (if low/unsalted), and crushed black pepper. Use as a dip for veggies, I like carrot sticks and bell peppers.

    This is properly high-carb, high-everything, but there's a recipe that involves mixing cottage cheese into cooked egg noodles and a load of dried basil, topping it with cheddar cheese, and baking it....

    It's a little different, but I'll mix sriracha and diced cucumber into it.

    Also my aunt mixes salsa in it and dips chips in it. I don't like it this way, but different strokes eh?

    As a dip for baked chips or eat with tomato wedges.

    It is also a great omelet filling--drain it first, add whatever spices you like. Could also add some spinach and/or chopped tomatoes, onions.

    I found a weight watchers recipe for toast with cottage cheese and honey and it is amazing. It's like desert.

    This may sound gross but I put 1/4 cup into maple brown sugar oats revolution oatmeal (100 calorie pack). You can't taste it and it adds some protein. And it cools down your oatmeal so you can eat it right away! Some strawberries and almonds and its a yummy breakfast!

    I'm having it for a snack in just a couple of minutes. I mixed in diced tomato, diced cucumber and scallions with some seasoning.

    My kids love it mixed with salsa.

    One of my favourite salads is: spinach, grapefruit and avocado topped with cottage cheese blended with a few raisins (I soak them in hot water first) and roasted sesame seeds.

    I also like to eat cottage cheese with diced cucumber, tomato and olives, or any other vegetable and pumpkin seed oil.

    Great cottage cheese recipes are here, too (great website in general) :

    As someone mentioned earlier make a dip but I recommend blending it smooth, add a bit of skim milk and low cal dressing for flavour and it is an awesome dip.

    I grew up putting cottage cheese in my tomato soup, there are some great organic tomato soups out there and for me it's a lovely winter lunch treat -- works out to about 300 calories.

    And last but not least as (again) someone else mentioned cottage cheese with crushed pineapple then add about a 1/4 cup of granola for crunch and carbs.

    I just keep it very basic. I do cottage cheese with a tiny bit of cinnamon and a butt load of blueberries. :)
