    Do you eat it Plain or do you add something to it? Sweet or Savory?

    Personally I like mine either Plain or with something Spicy added to it. I will add hot sauce or hot peppers to it.
    My wife on the other hand addes cinnamon and spenda or a fruit cup (peaches or pears).

    So my question is how do you enjoy yours?

      Yeah, Dole hasa plastic jug... thing... with pineapples or those little Manadarin oranges. It's either those or a lot of pepper or something spicy.

      Are we talking the large curd or the small curd?

      I like my cottage cheese like I like my women. I don't like cottage cheese.

      I love it straight out of the carton, on a salad, with chili and spaghetti. No fruit, it makes it smell like vomit to me.:sick:

      Edited to add: Must be small curd!

      Plain, with peaches, or with a sprinkle of celery salt.

      When I was little, my mom used to give us cottage cheese and apple butter as a snack. I just started eating it again recently- it's pretty good! Especially if you sprinkle lots of cinnamon on top.

      I also found a recipe for cottage cheese biscuits that were pretty tasty.

      ETA: I totally get why people don't like it though- it does have a weird texture and flavor. I can't defend why I like it. (It's kind of like raw oysters in that aspect.)

      I like it left at the store. Cottage Cheese is gross on the level of taste, texture and smell. Love milk and I love cheese, but the step in between should not be consumed...

      Plain, though I think I would enjoy it savory as well.
      Maybe I'll try it with hot sauce sometime.

      I can't stand it sweet- just doesn't go down for me.

      Glad I am not the only one who uses it in lasagna. It is so much cheaper than ricotta.

      So many dairy products. So many cheeses. So many choices OTHER than cottage cheese. Just don't get it.

      Plain cottage cheese (1/2 cup) on toast every morning is a must for me, plus coffee, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 packets of splenda and 1 tsp of sugar. Have been eating this forever, I might be addicted to it :-)

      I like to mince red or yellow pepper, carrot and cucumber and mix them in. I prefer my cottage cheese savory as well.

      topped with mandarin oranges, pineapple, or walnuts.

      I buy the cottage cheese with chives and eat it on a rice cake :)

      On someone ELSE'S plate!

      I have tried it and just don't like it (holdover from being told as a kid to ''just try a bite!") but I totally defend other people's right to eat it. :D

      So many dairy products. So many cheeses. So many choices OTHER than cottage cheese. Just don't get it.

      True Facts: My grocery list for this weekend has five different kinds of cheese on it. Six if you count the two kinds of shredded cheese I'm getting.

      With fruit is good, mostly peaches. Then either lasagna or alfredo.

      Thanks ALL!! I am trying to find a way to eat it in the evening to keep me full through the night. I hate it and trying to find a a way to enjoy it.. Fruits freak me out with it though. Lasgna sounds amazing with it.

      Plain, large curd.

      I also will eat it on top of a spinach and tomato salad.

      Don't really like it with fruit.

      hot sauce or ground thyme.

      Definetly love the cottage cheese/tuna combo on a whole wheat wrap or toast. Also I've used it to make Quinoa patties before

      Generally I don't like it. If I have to eat it, I prefer it with sliced strawberries that have had a chance for the juices to help flavor it.

      I like it sweet or savoury. Favorite right now is to add splash of skim mlk, some low cal dressing and seasoning. Then using a blender, blend until smooth, greatest low cal, high protein dip for veggies.

      I only eat the dry cottage cheese, almost no fat! I eat it on salads, mixed with greek yogurt, or with veggies! Adds extra protein!! :)

      I eat it plain a lot but my favorite way is with avocado and tomato. I don't care to mix sweet stuff with it.
