    i eat mine with corn chips or toast. if with the corn chips some times ill add salsa in it but that was before trying to get n shape

    But salsa is a good diet food. It's got VERY low calories, and if you find the right one, or make it yourself, you can find low sodium versions. I use salsa on my salads instead of dressing most of the time. 4 tbsp for around 30 cals typically. I'll have to try mixing salsa and cottage cheese to use as a chip dip. yum!

    I looove cottage cheese. I've been eating it with a splenda packet, cinnamon, and cut up apples. It's almost like a dessert!

    While I like that, I am curious what other people put in their cottage cheese? I would love to try some new things. Thanks!
    That's exactly how I eat mine. Makes a monster quantity and does taste like a treat to me!
    I also use ff cottage cheese to make my clean eating egg salad -- pretty darned yummy and super nutritious!

    As for the apples and cinnamon, that's how I eat my yogurt w/some uncooked rolled oats thrown in. I am crazy for cottage cheese w/berries and honey in the summer.

    Robin - great idea on making a "healthier" egg salad by using cottage cheese. I know you can make fake "riccotta" by blending it, but I never would have thought to use it for egg salad. And I just love egg salad. Brilliant!!

    If I am eating them with dinner as a side
    celery salt and lemon pepper

    If it is for breakfast
    chopped bananas, apples, melons, berries or any fruit with splenda or honey

    Pepper and chives! I can't stand it with fruit or sweet stuff for some reason.

    Neither could I until I sweetened it

    It is great with jam too. I prefer using sugar free jam.

    I love it on my baked potatoes. This way you do not need to use butter or sour cream. Add your salt and pepper and you are ready to go.

    I used to only eat it with no sugar added peaches... then I found the packages that are cottage cheese and a tiny cup of fruity stuff, YUM. A little sugary for some but OMG yum.

    Something new I tried last week: Made homemade turkey chili with lots of big tomatoes and peppers. It was GOOD but also HOT. Sour Cream is a no-go as dense in fat as it is, so I mixed in some cottage cheese to kill some of the heat. it was SOOOO good!!

    I just discovered the yummiest combination for breakfast. Cottage cheese, fresh pineapple chunks, and a little bit of granola. I've had it the past two mornings!

    I LOVE cottage cheese in oatmeal!!! It is SOOOOO good. Just add the cottage cheese, a little brown sugar, cinnamin, and a touch of vanilla!!! It is like eating dessert! I don't really like it any other way though. :(

    Am I the only person that doesn't like cottage cheese? I don't mind it mixed in sauces or used in place of ricotta in my lasagna. But, man, I just don't like it! I like Greek yogurt though! :tongue:

    I love to eat it with Triscuit Thin Crisps. I use it almost like a dip for my crackers. If I have a fruit, great. If not I still love it.

    Fresh ground pepper and lots of it!!

    Same here! Hubby always teases me and asks me if I would like some cottage cheese to go with my pepper! ;)

    Do you cut the tomatoes up in it or put the cottage cheese on top of the tomatoes?

    I do it simple: a little salt and a lot of black pepper. Mmmmmm.

    I am new to cottage cheese. My favorite way to eat it so far is with 1 tbsp of peanut butter on a toasted whole grain bread. DELICIOUS!!!

    I'm so surprised no one said this or maybe I missed it just skimming. When my family eats spaghetti I have the sauce with cottage cheese. My husband is on dialysis and can't do whole wheat pasta so that is out. It ups my protein and tast yummy!

    I got so many great ideas - I think I'll have some cottage cheese for supper!

    Probably an " English" thing looking over all the reply's but we eat cottage cheese on a hot Baked Potato with salad. It's lovely.
    But all these ideas are just great because I was planning to get some Cottage Cheese again this weekend.

    I'll put it on a salad or use it as chip dip. Cheddar Sunchips with cottage cheese is the best!

    I always eat mine with cut up cherry tomatoes and black pepper :) But after hearing all these ideas I am going to have to venture out of my comfort zone and try it with fruit..these all sound so yummy!
