    Bump- like this idea ! Thanks!
    Mix in a little light cool whip, sweetener of choice, cinnamon, and a few raisins. Tastes like a rice pudding.

    Don't know if this was already said because I didn't want to read through everything but I really like slices of tomatoes with basil in my cottage cheese.

    If you are eating a 1/2 cup: Mix a tbsp of Nutella and a tbsp of peanut butter together and heat it up in the microwave for a bit. Then add the cottage cheese and mix them together. An amazing and delicious combo :)

    Spread a little apple butter or pumpkin butter on toast. I add a little stevia and cinnamon to my cottage cheese. Put it on top and broil it a little. Warm and melted yumminess.

    I love cottage cheese with salad! I make sure to get a little cottage cheese, raisins, some kind of sweet dressing like Catalina, salad veggies & something crunchy like croutons or chow mien noodles or sunflower seeds!

    4 slices whole grain lasagna no cook
    1cup cottage cheese
    1 cup mushrooms
    1/2 cup diced onions
    1 tomatoe chopped
    1lb organic beef 90% +
    Parsley, oregano, basil spices
    1 egg
    1 tbls breadcrumbs
    1/2 jar of organic tomatoe sauce (trader joes good)
    1/2 cup low cal mozarella
    Cook hamburger
    In large bowl put all ingredients except sauce and mix


    Put a little of the sauce at bottom of small narrow glass baking dish
    Put on top of pasta. Add a little sauce. Ad the other two lasagna noodles and top with remainder of sauce
    Bake covered at 325 45 minutes.

    This pretty low cal. If you must have some pasta occasionally this satisfies the crave. You can also use ground turkey.

    I like sliced pepperoncini in mine. I tend to prefer savory over sweet and stumbled upon this combination a couple of years ago.

    The first time my aunt made this I thought it sounded so gross but finally tried it and it was pretty good. Cottage Cheese, tuna, tomatoes diced, green onions, mix it together and yum. :)

    pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and a little dash of salt makes it taste similar to french onion dip.

    Get some fromunda cheese, mix well with some heavy whipping cream. Spread it evenly over a cauliflower based pie crust. Top with a steaming hot blumpkin. Pairs well with a nice Port.

    ready for the BEST COTTAGE CHEESE OF YOUR LIFE

    hahaha.

    cut apple into small chunks. microwave for ~1 minute.
    mix into cottage cheese (as much as desired)
    add cinnamon, stevia/splenda, a touch of vanilla, and if you want to get crazy then add brown sugar and raisins..

    put this in the fridge overnight.....the next day, you will have an apple cheese danish. it's so freakin amazing.

    I tried this and it was really yummy! I used cottage cheese with pineapple so I didn't add any sweetner, and I also added a few chopped pecans and some cinnamon.

    I have been making Protein Pancakes almost every morning for breakfast. 1 cup oats, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup egg whites, 1 tsp cinnamon (opt), 1 tsp vanilla (opt), stevia to taste( opt). I put it in my vitamix until smooth, and the texture comes out just like regular pancakes. I put 1/2 cup of blueberries in the microwave with a bit of stevia to use instead of syrup, or make chicken breakfast sausages and wrap them around them for pig in a blanket.

    I used this pancake recipe as a foundation for Double Chocolate Protein Muffins. I am still experimenting, but I made these the other night. They were a little too fluffy from all the egg, but not too bad. ( This made 22 muffins, 90 calories each and 8 grams of protein) They would probably taste even better with a couple tbsp of oil or peanut butter, and maybe a bit less egg white.

    2.00 cup(s), Cottage cheese - Lowfat, 1% milkfat
    2.00 cup(s), Rolled Oats
    2.00 cup(s), Eggs - White only, raw
    1.00 tsp(s), Vanilla extract
    20.00 g, Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
    3.00 scoop(24.5 g), Whey Protein Powder
    210.00 pieces (15g), Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
    Stevia

    Savory:

    1/2 cup cottage cheese (I use non fat), 100 gms non fat greek yogurt - any flavour, 1/3rd cup granola, and 3 tbsps non fat cool whip. 310 calories, almost 30 gms protien. I eat this EVERY day. Delish, nutrish and satisfying!

    I add a tablespoon of Polaner SF + Fiber apricot jam to one of those Breakstone single serve. It's an easy way for me to get some extra fiber in and it's yummy.

    I like cottage cheese in the summer. An alternative is ricotta cheese, which is richer tasting and low cal is just a good.
