Cottage cheese ideas

I LOVE cottage cheese with a tiny bit of salt and pepper with a slice of cheese and on a saltine cracker. I told my boyfriend that and he said, "Ewwwww!" Lol I also like it with fruit puree like peach or mango.

cottage cheese with blueberries,sliced strawberries and just a little bit of cinnamon, my favorite

I like cottage cheese with applesauce, weird perhaps but tasty I also mix it with salsa for a creamy dip or salad dressing. I have put it on top of a baked potato with veggies or a bit of chili, of course I have put it on toast with some tomato slices basil and fresh pepper, and sometimes use it instead of oil in cake mixes or muffins. I have also used it with flaked salmon or tuna instead of mayo and some chopped scallions or chives, and instead of greek yogurt with lemon juice, cucumbers, and fresh dill for a tzaziki dip. I have also mixed it into marinara sauce for pasta to make it creamy. Caution with that or it may end up the color of bubble gum

On a side note, I have never ever had it with peanut butter. I may try it on a brave day

PS mom uses it for a spinach mushroom onion dip, and has made something she calls cottage cheese pie. It gets a bit weird/sweet when baked like that, but pretty tasty.

My favorite is cottage cheese with half an avocado, sliced cucumber, and cherry tomatoes topped with a bit of fresh black pepper!

I love it on Tricuits, the Rye and Caraway variety is best! Yummy!

cottage cheese, with plain greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, strawberries, and a touch of honey. eat alone or with graham crackers - tastes like cheese cake and is a great post workout meal. for something with a little more weight - try adding raw oats. Let it set in the fridge over night (oats will soak up any liquid and soften).

we use cottage cheese a lot in the summer. I enjoy it on top of a grilled hamburger with a slice of tomato or mixed into browned ground meat with veggies.

important - always measure/weigh it out. it's very easy to over indulge and take in too much sodium.

I also like it with applesauce, like someone else mentioned. Or canned mandarin oranges.

But my current love affair with cottage cheese involves honey and dark cocoa powder. Mmmmmmm. Sometimes I mix in protein powder, but if I put in too much powder it gets too thick and grosses me out.

I love it in place of salad dressing. Love it with pineapple or berries. Probably best with just a bit of black pepper, halved cherry or grape tomatoes and diced banana peppers!

May have to try this!

I'm fond of a cinnamon bun cottage cheese. Just add in cinnamon, pecans, and touch of sweetener of choice. I use honey!

This sounds amazing too.

Cottage cheese and crushed pineapple in it's own juice is yummy.

with blueberries, or sliced strawberries, or chopped apples, honey, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon

I want cottage cheese now!

For a really good dessert with cottage cheese here's one I love as well. In a blender add 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 cups of ice, 1/2 cup of skim milk, 2 tbs of cocoa powder( the baking kind) and a packet or 2 of stevia. Blend until smooth . Tastes like a Wendy's milkshake! High protein, low sugar and filling!

The Hungarian way, sprinkled with a little sugar (or artificial sweetener) and rolled up in a crepe. Add berries or jam as desired.
