I've eaten it with granola for breakfast, but now I'm in a cottage cheese rut... any ideas? How do you eat it?

    Drained canned peaches or pears.
    Fresh vine ripened tomatoes.
    Avocados.

    Those are my three favorite cottage cheese toppings.

    I just eat it plain, but pineapple is great with it too.

    That's what I do, too. I love blueberries and cottage cheese.

    CC is pretty bland, so I like to spice it up with finely chopped red onions, or salsa.

    I ate it the other day with some mandarin orange fruit cups. It was pretty good. Most of the time, tho, I just eat it on its own with some salt and pepper.

    My fave is with whole grain pb cherrios and a banana.. I eat that most days for breakfast. xD
    I've also mixed in ranch powder and used it as a dip for carrots and other veggies!

    Usually don't eat it but when I do, I like melons (cantaloupe or honeydew) with it.

    I hate cottage cheese, but I can eat it if it's covered in apple butter (LOTS of apple butter)

    There's not a lot I won't eat, but cottage cheese is definitely on this list. Even if I could get past the way it looks, then there's the whole texture thing. Maybe that's to distract one from the taste.

    Hubby, however, loves the stuff - he eats it generously covered in black pepper. Once in awhile with canned peaches instead, but mostly just cottage cheese and black pepper. Blecch.

    I eat something I call a "protein bowl". It is cottage cheese, tuna, dark red kidney beans, and avocado all mixed together in a bowl. It sounds really weird.. but it is soooo good :). You can substitute the tuna for any meat really.. I've used turkey and chicken breast too. I've also put sauteed onions, mushrooms, garlic and hot sauce with it too.
