    For a lazy person's lasagna fix, I mix it with some tomato sauce and ground pepper and throw it in the microwave.

    I also eat sweet with truvia drops, cacao nibs, and crumbled up protein bar or a bit of cereal. You can also do a few spoonfuls of canned pumpkin and pie spice with cashew or almond flour mixed in with part of it for the taste of crust.

    I know it sounds gross but it is really good. It is not a meal but a snack...Cottage cheese with a small amount of ketchup and pepper....Its soooo good :-)

    Did I reply to this already? Hmmmm....

    Lots of great ideas that I never thought of. I like it with:

    Dried edamame
    Sunflower Seeds
    Diced cucumbers and Dill (fresh or dried)

    Cup of cottage cheese, scoop of whey (flavor choice), 1oz of walnuts
    Mix, place in freezer for 20 mins

    Great bedtime snack as the protein is mostly casein, which is slow digesting!

    Not very creative, but topped with a nice ripe tomato and salt & pepper it makes a perfect lunch for me!

    Add citrus items, like orange or lemon rind, tart cranberry/Orange relish made with Artificial sweeteners. Or cut up an apple into small cubes, sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice/or zest, dash of salt, lots of artificial sweetener. Microwave the apple pieces 2.5 min. Pour hot apples over Cottage cheese. Delicious... like apple pie and ice cream. Or... add cut up veggies, like halved grape tomatoes and dill weed with a dash of salt. If not dill weed, try the citrus zest. If you want more veggies, feel free to try many. But cottage cheese with dill weed and maybe a splash of balsamic flavored vinegars with any veggies makes the combo a nice lunch salad. Can also use cottage cheese as a replacement for lasagne ricotta cheese. It may melt and not hold up as well, but the taste is the same.

    If you like Indian food, I recommend using it to make your own palak paneer. It's a much lighter, more protein-rich option (especially because you don't need to fry the cheese first :P), it's delicious, and super good for you.

    This recipe (http://the99centchef.blogspot.ca/2011/02/saag-paneer-curried-spinach-with.html) is pretty close to how I make it, and it's really nice over quinoa or even mashed sweet potatoes, if you're feeling adventurous! :)

    I will cut a cantelope in half, scoop out the seeds and fill the "bowl" with cottage cheese. Them my toddler and I wil each take a spoon and eat the melon and cheese together. The sweet from the melon and the salty from the cottage cheese go wonderfully together.

    As a child, my grandfather taught me to mix it with hard boiled eggs (it's kind of a mush, but I do still like it). He also gave me cottage cheese mixed with egg noodles and sugar, which probably isn't any good for weight loss, but it's the one of my favorite comfort foods, and I add cinnamon and nutmeg as well these days.

    I put it on French Toast instead of the "normal" toppings. Mixed with chives is good. And with fruit. Or mixed into applesauce... again a real mushy looking, but tasty treat. I also like it mixed with salsa as a dip.
