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

    This was my suggestion:)
    i dislike ricotta but love cottage cheese!
    For law carb times i use zucchini instead of pasta to make a baked "lasagna "

    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!

    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)

    Mix cottage cheese with eggs and scramble. Add salt, pepper, and green onions or whatever you usually have with your scrambled eggs.

    Add 1 Tbsp (5g) of Hersheys unsweetened special dark cocoa, and Stevia (or sweetener of choice) to taste to one cup (226g) of cottage cheese. I have this just about every day as an afternoon snack! It's delicious, IMO.

    I cannot eat cottage cheese with fruit! I just can't do it. I only eat it savory. I prefer it with chives, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, red pepper flakes. Then I put it in the fridge for the flavors to open up a bit. My favorite is to eat it with pita chips, or I'll eat it with just a spoon :-)

    This sounds delicious.

    I'm going to try this tomorrow!

    I sprinkle wth spicy cayanne pepper, diced cucumber.
    Or Sometimes I sprinkle wth dill and add a tsp of chi seeds. I use cottage cheese in place of ricotta in lasagna. & I use plain cottage cheese as salad dressing on occasion. I havnt tried fruit in it yet. Not sure if I could.

    Interesting how versatile cottage cheese is...I have never tried it with cocoa or peanut butter.

    I will dump a cup into a Lean Cusine spaghetti. Or add seasonings, I have an Asian blend that makes cottage cheese delicious. My favorite is to make a "faux" egg salad, mixing it just like egg salad...yummy!

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

    This is my favorite way to eat it.

    The thoughts of mixing cottage cheese with cocoa or peanut butter are squicking me out!

    My fave is to use it to top a baked sweet potato with a few scallions or chives :)

    blended with cream (or milk if you prefer), a little s&p and used as a sauce for your steamed veggies.

    Awesome ideas! Going to try some myself. Thanks everyone! I (like another poster) use it in my scrambled eggs. I have also mixed it with plain greek yogurt, green onions and black pepper to put over noodles. Yum! Usually let the flavors blend in the fridge for at least a half hour first though...

    Best thread! Cottage cheese is in my log pretty much every day. I usually put it on top of a toasted cinnamon raisin english muffin or pepperidge farm chocolate chip bread.

    Sriracha and dehydrated minced onions (they onions rehydrate by lunch time) for savory.
    Cinnamon and sugar free dry white chocolate pudding mix for sweet.

    This sounds like it would make excellent dip!
