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

    Ya'll will call me super weird but I eat cottage cheese mixed in my oatmeal. I also like it the traditional ways, with pineapple.

    I love the idea of honey and dark cocoa powder, I'll have to try that!!

    Let me just say: I JUST started eating it. I've tried it a few times in life and it was a no go. This time when I tried it I loved it.

    Lately:
    CC and avocado
    CC and hemp seeds
    CC and fruit

    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!

    Cottage cheese mixed with just about any fruit is delicious!

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

    I like to use it instead of ricotta in baked pasta dishes. Sounds weird, but it's yummy.

    Gonna try this one!!

    I usually go for just some black pepper and the HOT Slap yo Momma seasoning.

    I like to add chopped bell peppers, green onion, grape tomatoes, and sunflower seeds to my cottage cheese.

    I love it mixed with salsa. Mango salsa is even better! :#

    Ermahgerd that spinach dip!

    I usually eat it for breakfast with a cut up pear (or apple) and cinnamon.
    I've been eating it straight up as an afternoon snack lately too.
    On cucumbers with some pepper is nice too.

    I would find this post on the one day I brought yogurt instead.

    It's interesting to see that so many of you eat cottage cheese with fruit, I've only ever used it as a savoury food. I rarely eat it because it's so bland and I don't know how to jazz it up but this has definitely given me some ideas to try.

    I usually just mix cottage cheese with a tablespoon of peanut butter but I'm looking for some new ideas :)

    I've never even heard of that! Sounds kinda delish.

    I always take a half cup of cottage cheese, sprinkle a little salt and eat with sliced avocado and tomato.

    Sweet potato butter!

    (Apple or pumpkin butter is also good)
