    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.

    Toast a slice of bread, then layer with tomatoes and cottage cheese and sprinkle pepper on it. Yum!

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

    For breakfast, cut a medium apple into thin slices. Add 1/2 C cottage cheese, and 1/2-1 t cinnamon. Stir and enjoy!

    I love it with blueberries and strawberries. If they're frozen, it's almost like ice cream!

    I know some people who like it with soy sauce, but I don't.

    I've made cheese blintzes with cottage cheese filling. They're delicious!

    4 oz cottage cheese 1 to 2 tbls spoon of crumbled walnuts and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. It's my go to breakfast, or as a snack during the day.

    4 oz cottage cheese, 1 to 2 tbls spoon of hot cocktail sauce. It's my go to snack and I use it as a topping to 1/2 cup of baked potato.

    Both delish!

    I second this! I put it in my bullet blender. Since cottage cheese is really thick, its pretty difficult to blend completely smooth, so I do the best I can and then press the rest through a sieve. The result is magical. So smooth and creamy.
    Things you can do with smooth cottage cheese:
    ~Add spices and herbs to make a dip for veggies/ chips.
    ~Add some cocoa powder/sweetener and a bit of water to thin it down and use it as frosting. I put it on my protein mug brownie. Yum!
    ~Add a bit of sweetener/water and use it as a fruit dip. i like to add a bit of ginger and dip in canteloupe
    ~Use as a pasta sauce (you can add garlic, basil, and/or other herbs to suit your tastes)

    This may sound kind of odd, but I like to mix 1/4 cup cottage cheese with sugar free jello. Its a light and fruity dessert.
