  • I love cottage cheese with tomatoes and green olives in it - yum!! I'm also a fan of it with pretty much any fruit, ESPECIALLY pineapple :)

    Dang it...now I'm hungry...luckily I just bought some cottage cheese at the store today =D
  • the thought of it always creeped me out? Can you compare the taste to anything?



    It's kinda tangy and kinda salty tasting. Most people who don't like yogart, don't like cottage cheese. Similar to sour cream in flavor? Not quite as tangy, though. And some people don't like the consistency.

    Be brave!! Try it!! It's good!!!

    I like the little individual Breakstones cups.

    MMM I love cottage cheese. I usually like it with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. But i also like it with strawberries and blueberries. Yum.

    ETA: I just got done eating a serving of cottage cheese with 1/8 cup of bear naked banana nut granola.. Its awesome. I love the texture, the sweet and saltiness of it. I got the idea from the back of the cottage cheese tub. It suggested granola and honey. Well I don't have honey. It was good without it but probably taste just as good with it.
  • with tomatos!!! and sea salt yum!

    I grew up eating it plain, so I eat it as a "side" to any meal instead of a rice or pasta. Or as a snack with wheat thins YUM! Also, instead of using sour cream, I use it to make ranch dip, sooooo good!

    Not sure if anyone else posted this, but you can make a healthier cheesecake out of cottage cheese! Here's a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake bites. You can google "healthy cottage cheese cheesecake" and find lots of other recipes. Be careful, though - not all the recipes with cottage cheese and cheesecake are healthy!

  • I use it on almost anything that people would normally use for sour cream. baked potato, in guacamole, etc. It's better for you than sour cream, so that's the good part!

    I don't like yogurt, but LOVE cottage cheese, lol.
  • I like the little cups that are already pre measured at 100 calories, perfect snack, just plain by itself:)

    With tomatoes, spaghetti (mixed), on my salad in place of dressing, and with a seasoning called Cracker Girl (spicy), I also mix it with tuna. I've never added strawberries and blueberries,I'll have to try that next time.The pineapple juice with the cottage cheese creeps me out:tongue:

    Plain, on a baked potato, or (my favorite) with tuna and no-salt-added canned corn, all mixed in with baby spinach and salad veggies. Is creamy enough to satisfy my ranch-dressing craving.
  • I hollow out a tomato then mix tuna and cottage cheese and fill the tomato with the mixture.

    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 have never "met" another person who mixes cottage cheese and tuna. It's DELICIOUS!! Sometimes, I'll add sliced carrots for a little crunch. :love:

    I treat it like sour cream. I treat sour cream like cheese. I treat cheese like salt. I salt anything that's not sweet. You get the idea... LOL I :heart: Cottage Cheese!

    LMAO, that was great. Too funny.
  • I eat low-fat, no salt added cottage cheese with raspberry jam with added fresh berries when they're on sale. Mmm, such a yummy way to have something sweet that's packed with unheard-of amounts of protein!
    "Friendship" is the brand that has a no-salt added variety. Some of the other regular brands taste too salty to me. :)

    But my boyfriend teases me about the ONE BRAND of cottage cheese that I eat that of-course is only available at one store around us. It's the "golden brand" as he calls it. :)
