    That is one thing I can not get down. I can usually eat anything too. I don't know why.

    Try getting the 4% fat cottage cheese...It's like a wole other animal... it is still pretty nutrient dense per calorie.

    Because I was dieting I always bought the no-fat and always hated it.
    Then one day I a light bulb went of in the dairy section
    I transitioned from whole milk to 2% to 1% to half 1%/half skim to skim.

    Why not try that with the cottage cheese & I went ahead and bought the 4% CC and you know what that's pretty darn nutrient dense. I've worked my way down to 2% Even if I don't get any farther still much healthier than, say, a package of ring dings (lol)

    When I make salads, I mix in 1/4c cottage cheese with 1 tbsp light ranch. It moistens the salad so it feels like I have a lot of dressing, but for faaaar less calories and fat. I love it!

    Scrambled eggs. Mix a couple of eggs with a 2-3 tablespoons of cottage cheese (instead of milk). Results in a fluffy yummy scambled egg. Protein packed breakfast.

    With cut up pineapple in it. I also like it on toast with a little pepper as a sandwich. Everyone I tell says that sounds disgusting but I love it and have since I was a small child.

    I'm from Mass so I've found only 1 brand of cottage cheese that I like (Hood) and I eat it plain. I like the Chive and the Plain and I don't mix them with anything but a spoon :)

    This is a recipe that we love.

    ORANGE SALAD

    makes a huge salad....cut in half for regular family meals

    cottage cheese (I bought the medium size) -use entire tub for the whole recipe-
    1 large cool whip -use the 0 calorie for caloric reduction-
    2 pkg. small orange jello---put into salad dry
    1 large can pineapple-crushed and drained well
    2 cans mandarin oranges-drained well
    1 pkg. minature marsmallows
    I added pecans......but the recipe does not call for them.

    Lovely in a baked potato. Yum as a "dip" to scoop up with some sliced peppers. But my favourite has to be cottage cheese with pineapple. Mmmm...

    You're not from around these parts ....are ya? LOL

    power pancakes:
    1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 4 egg whites, 1 tsp vanilla. mix in the blender. cook like pancakes. yum.

    I have made these and they are awesome. Then I will heat up a couple strawberries mixed with water (or blueberries) in the micro for about 30 seconds and it turns to strawberry "mush" to add on top.

    It's good plain with Mrs. Dash sprinkled on top. or I like mixing any of the following in it: pineapple, oranges, or pomegranate.

    OK, I know this sounds weird, but it's truly yummy!

    Cottage cheese salad: mix yellow mustard, chopped onion and chopped tomato into your cottage cheese, then eat!

    My sister made up this recipe when we were kids, but we've both come to love it as adults, too.

    I bought some today for the first time ever and I'm interested in different ways to eat it.
    I'd appreciate some tasty ideas!! Thanks in advance!

    I always get the low fat cottage cheese... it does have sodium, what food doesnt? But I like mine with peaches, pears, blueberries, or on a side of a salad.. If i eat it plain ill add ground black pepper.

    I looooooove cottage cheese! I've always eaten it sweet though. When I hear of people putting pepper and such in it, I get a little skeeved, but it's only because I've never eaten it any other way except with fruit. I love the Breakstone Cottage Doubles. Eat one almost every day (strawberry is my favorite).

    I like it with just a touch for Catalina lite french dressing on it! got that from my dad..i also like it with pineapple, in salad. But again..It's a salt issue for me.

    This. If you mix it with fat-free greek yogurt, a packet of hidden valley ranch powder, and a bit of lemon juice, you can whiz it in the blender and make high-protein, low-fat ranch-ish salad dressing!

    I like it plain. The weirdest way I like it is on top of whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter and the cottage cheese piled on top. It's really very good.
