I recently discovered that I like Cottage Cheese. I have been eating it and mixing in a little bit of pineapple to spruce it up a bit. Anyone have other ideas of things I can mix in to make it even more enjoyable?

    I really like cottage cheese on it's own, but if I'm in the mood for something more savory I stir in a little dab of pesto.

    One big surprise with cottage cheese is how much sodium it often contains. If you can find 'no salt added', that's best.

    Totally delicious - a scoop of cottage cheese on hot pasta! So yummy and warm and filling... Sometimes I chop in a couple of plum tomatos and raw garlic for a flavor rush, but I love it plain, too.

    Splenda or pretty much any kind of sweet fruit make great additions. I know some people add honey, salt and pepper, or veggies. Try your own thing. My grandma used to make these celery sticks with cottage cheese on them with some salt & pepper or splenda sprinkled on top.. they are good. :)

    I like it with a couple tablespoons natural applesauce and some cinnamon. You can even heat it up slightly and it tastes like apple pie!

    Blend 1/2 cup with 1 cup frozen strawberries, some sweetener (I cut it down from 6 to 3 packets and it still tastes good), ½ tsp vanilla extract and ½ cup of milk for a strawberry cheesecake smoothie.

    I like to put a cup of cottage cheese into my sugar free jello when I am preparing a small box of it - when it sets it makes it a sweet treat - I really like to use lime flavor jello and add a little crushed pineapple as well - or orange jello and add a few dried cranberries along with the cottage cheese.

    Try canned tuna, chopped peppers, spring onion and sweetcorn as a topping for a baked potato or a sandwich filler.

    I throw a blob of it on top of my salad instead of salad dressing. Adds a creaminess like a salad dressing and gives the salad a pop of protein too. It is also good on chili. Pretty much anywhere you would use sour cream works, as long as you can adapt to the texture difference.
