    I can't stand the consistency but I know its good for you so I use it in pureed form. I usually use it to make protein pancakes or protein pudding. For the pancakes you just blend equal amounts of oatmeal, cottage cheese and egg (or egg whites); like 1/2 cup of each for example. You can add in fruits, cocoa powder, etc for additional flavor. For the pudding I will usually throw it in the food processor with some peanut butter, a Tbsp of sugar free pudding mix and a scoop of whey protein....sometimes a bit of milk if its too thick. I'll eat that for my last meal of the day since casein is supposed to be slow digesting. You can also make breakfast muffins with it which are very good: http://www.closetcooking.com/2008/01/cottage-cheese-and-egg-muffins-with-ham.html

    I just saw you are vegetarian...not sure if you eat eggs or not.....

    buffing up my protein, so cottage cheese has become a daily staple. i usually mix it with berries, or just cinnamon or cocoa, or flavoured greek yogurt. what are some exciting ways i can use cottage cheese, maybe as something other than for breakfast?

    I like adding Hidden Valley spice packet stuff to it that is intended for making dressing, just a tad does it. They have of course their normal Ranch, Fiesta, Salsa something or other, several flavors.

    When I make scrambled eggs, I put about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese in. It makes the eggs fluffy!
