We like to make mock rice pudding with it. Add a splash of vanilla, some cinnamon, a couple packets of stevia, and raisins. So good. I also like to add some sunflower seeds for the salty/sweet thing. Even my cottage cheese hating hubby likes it!0

I'm acutally eating some right now! Mixed it with Pico de Gallo (or you can cut up your own tomatoes, onions, cilantro, or salsa), pepper, diced avacado. Makes it a bit chunky and eat it as a dip with sliced cucumbers. Gives a variation to the sweet additives. Tasty!0

A bunch of terrific ideas here!
I use cottage cheese as both a sweet and a savory base (not at the same time), in many of the ways that have already been posted (and many I haven't tried yet).
Also, I use it in recipes as a substitute for ricotta cheese.0 -
This may sound totally gross, but trust me, it is pretty good. I used to make a skinny cheese danish out of it. Take one slice of bread, put however much cottage cheese on it, sprinkle some artificial sweetener and a little bit of cinnamon. Then, put it under the broiler until it is warm/mushy/creamy (pick your adjective). It is quite tasty!!0

as a sweet treat i mix in vanilla bean paste & about a teaspoon of mini chocolate chips. hits the spot if you need to fulfill your sweet tooth.0

Hey all,
I just tried cottage cheese for my first time the other day and I didn't mind it and I noticed how good the nutrition is and I think it'd be a great way for me to get my protein, but it kind of grosses me out just eating it plain. How do you eat your cottage cheese? Do you put it on bread? Do you mix it with something?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!!
currently I'm taking a break from dairy to help weight loss along, but when I did enjoy cottage cheese, I usually had it with berries and a tiny bit of stevia0 -
I like Cottage Cheese NON-FAT with Salsa.0

Love it with garden fresh tomatoes - however, one warning about Cottage Cheese ... it is VERY high in sodium! So if you have to watch that - beware! I never realized it until I had to watch for it!
I agree on both accounts0 -
I like Breakstone's low sodium cottage cheese when I can find it.
The good ol' stumptous page has lots of good ideas here: http://www.stumptuous.com/the-cottage-cheese-page0 -
This is how I LOVE it::
1/2 cup cottage cheese
cut up apple
1 splenda
1/2 - 1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
As far as the sodium I only eat it when I haven't had alot of sodium already that day. I tried Friendship low sodium and it was AWFUL!0 -
Fresh fruit is my favorite... Or Tomatoes with a little seasoning.... another thing I have yet to try but sounds good is a little canned pumpkin and nutmeg. mmmmm0

that sounds like crack. \m/
rock on!0 -
I love it mixed with fresh diced tomato (especially when in season) and lots of cracked black pepper. I have friends who use salsa when the tomatoes aren't in season, tried it a couple of times and it's definitely not for me!0

Oh if you like chocolate, I highly recommend scoring some MojoMilk. What is it? Think of nesquik powder. Now imagine the healthiest version possible. Add probiotic. That's MojoMilk. You can mix it with just about anything.
Chocolate cottage cheese FTW!0 -
I add cottage cheese on top of a warm English muffin and I add it to lasagna [I've been experimenting with a couple of veggie lasagna combos and I like that I am getting plenty of protein from the cheese.0
-
I love to dice cucumbers and tomatoes with a lil black pepper mixed into the cottage cheese0
