    I have trouble drinking/eating dairy because of allergies but I can tolerate Cottage Cheese very well for some reason. My favorite way to eat it... usually my breakfast...

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 fruit (usually peaches or pineapple, drained)
    1/2 High Fiber Cereal (I use Kashi Go Lean, Wheaties, or Special K Red Berries)

    Just layer in a dish and enjoy...

    Other meals I enjoy it over tomatoes, or make a "candle stick salad" place a large leaf of lettuce on plate, place a pineapple ring on lettuce, half a banana and insert into pineapple ring, place cottage cheese around base of banana. This was one of my favorites at my Grandma's house when I was a little girl....

    I have always loved cottage cheese. I dont tend to buy plain but when i do I add any from this list, cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, chives, black pepper, finely diced cucumber, a teaspoon of tomato puree with a handful of prawns. In fact pretty much anything I fancy...always savoury tho. Never tried it with sweet things and don't think I ever will.

    One of my biggest addictions since starting to eat healthier is cottage cheese with cucumber and peppers (any color) mixed in. I have that most days for my morning snack MMMMM

    I eat a lot of cottage cheese and I love ^ that. It's so good!

    I like to top a baked potato with low fat cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes, maybe some green onions if I have them on hand. It is really yummy and filling! I even eat it for breakfast =D


    I normally just eat my cottage cheese w/S&P
    But I think I just may have to expand my horizons.....
    Try it w/baked potato & maybe salsa......sounds yummy :tongue:

    The BEST is home made sugar free raspberry jam!

    Instant Fruit Pectin Unsweetened dry mix = 163 calories
    3 bags of Walmart Great Value Frozemn Raspberries = 525
    1.5 cups Splenda Sugar Substitute for cooking = 0

    Follow package directions. Here is how easy. Let fruit defrost on counter. Put fruit, pectin and Splenda in a large mixing bowl and stir by hand at least 3 minutes. Put into left over yogurt, cottage cheese containers and freeze. Be sure to keep out one to use!! You will be making your own home made jam's from now on - and sugar free!! Just delicious and the flavor is unbelievable. Obviously you can use strawberries, or any fruit you prefer. Enjoy!!

    Makes about a zillion servings (very low calorie) I put it in Greek yogurt with fresh fruit to make it taste better. On bagel with spray butter, PB and J!

    P.S. The pectin is available in most grocery stores - Ball is the brand it's by the canning supplies. My Walmart carries it also.

    I recently started eating it as well. I actually enjoy the taste. My sister likes to mix hers with fresh or frozen fruit.

    I like it lots of ways. WIth applesauce or fruit, as an addition to salad, scoopit up with raw veggies....maybe the weirdest (and my favorite way) is to use baked Doritos (90 cals for .75 ounce) and scoop up the cottage cheese as a dip. Might sound weird, but it is yummy. My 14 year old daughter started me doing this.

    I'm a savoury cottage cheese person
    I like it on toast with marmite (a UK yeast extract spread).
    I also like it with a little parmesan grated into it to make it more cheesy - then in a sandwich or with a baked potato
    Also stirred into pasta with a little pesto and some fresh chopped tomatoes (either hot or cold as a salad)

    hth!

    When I was younger, I used to make the spiral kind of pasta then dump it into a bowl of cottage cheese.....hmmmm....I may have to pull that out again.....:tongue:

    1 part cottage cheese
    1 part tuna
    1 chopped roma tomato
    1/3 of a cucumber, chopped up

    Mix together, squeeze on some lemon juice, then serve mixed with romaine lettuce. My favorite three minute salad!

    1/3 cup of craisins, in a cup of cottage cheese is my breakfast every morning. 310 calories and a punch of protein MMMMM

    When I run out of craisins :sad: then I use apricot jam, only 50 cal/tbsp. Or pineapple :)

    Savory cottage cheese doesn't appeal to me, I ony like it sweet.
