So I went grocery shopping the other day and decided to try some new foods; cottage cheese, ground turkey, weight watchers foods..etc. I LOVE the ground turkey. I was a little hesitant at first to try it because I don't like turkey too much, but I LOVE it! I was not too fond of the cottage cheese. I could eat it, but I don't like the texture too much. Does anyone know any way to make it taste a bit better?

    Mix the cheese into vegetables or with tuna fish (or anything that you like) and try that... i always mix it or put it on wholegrain bread:)

    I use cottage cheese on top of salads and it tastes really good.

    the texture of cottage cheese grossed me out for so long!

    the way i got myself to eat it (other then cooked into eggs or egg whites (and omlettes fritattas etc and lasagna)
    was to take about a 1/4 cup of it and a tbsp or 2 of salsa and mix them together to eat corn chips or crackers or veggies.

    once i got used to that after a while i actually can eat it plain now.

    another way i'd eat it was mixed into a taco salad instead of reg cheese and sour cream

    For cottage cheese I mix in a tablespoon of natural jam (strawberry for now) and add a few pieces of fruit (thaw out frozen if you have that) and mix it all together. Makes a very yummy sweet treat that is not too many calories and the cottage cheese tastes better

    Try adding some cinnamon to the cottage cheese. Or a little bit of fruit - pineapple, applesauce and jam are all faves of mine.

    I have found you either like cottage cheese sweet or salty. I do not care for sweet as many have suggested-I love small curd 2% with salt, pepper and tomatoes. Maybe that will be your preference!

    I love cottage cheese and it was my "go to" snack until I realized how much sodium it has in it. Breakstone has a reduced sodium choice, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I have quit eating it and was able to maintain over the holidays. I have some edemanme that I need to try...never had it before and I am not sure how to cook it. I think I will try to roast it.

    I have to eat pepperoni with cottage cheese. Not like mixed together, but I like to eat a pepperoni, and then take a bite of cottage cheese.
