I had cottage cheese with tuna in a wheat pita last night and forgot how good that stuff can be! Am I the only one out here who likes cottage cheese? What other ways do you like to prepare it?

    I add unsweetened applesauce and cinnamon. A lot of times I add bran to that mix as well to increase my fiber.

    All these ideas sound amazing. I've never thought to mix cottage cheese with anything... I've only ever had it on an english muffin with raspberry jelly. I want to try all of these!!

    I LOVE it with some kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. I tend to like it more savory rather than sweet. It's also GREAT in place of ricotta in vegetable lasagna or melted into mashed sweet potatoes.

    I like mixing it with yogurt, or eating it with pineapple. I don't really like the taste of cottage cheese, so I need to do something to cover it up.

    cottage cheese is a staple - love it and eat it all the time - great source of protein - I get Friendship 1% No Salt Added because the sodium can be high in the regular kinds if you watch that

    so I'm not the only one!!
    I've actually "wished" that I could eat it, my husband LOVES the stuff.... I can't get past the fact that it is sour milk!! I hate the taste and smell of white milk... can't drink it unless its in cereal!!

    I feel like I'm missing out on something!! :sad:
