Hey All.. So I have been wanting to try cottage cheese, knowing its one of those very healthy foods that would be good to eat.. I am a little skeptical, more about the texture than the actual taste.. I was was wondering how ya'll like to eat it.. Looking for some yummy ideas... Thanks ya'll!!

    I eat mine with Tomatoes and Pepper, sometimes I add a bit of sea salt. Buy the small curd and it is better on the texture. Not so clumpy...

    i eat it plain. i love cottage cheese. i know some people eat it with a little bit of fruit. crushed or chunk pineapple (in its own juices if you get the canned variety) is really good with cottage cheese.

    When I was a kid, my mom would mix it with apple sauce and some fruit cocktail (the canned stuff). The measurements are definitely to taste, but I like it about half and half, with maybe just a little less applesauce than cottage cheese, then add in a small can of fruit cocktail.

    Oh I love cottage cheese! I used to binge on it with crushed up potato chips in it....now I throw in a few sunflower seed kernels for that same type of crunchy texture without all the calories! I also sometimes sprinkle with a bit of red pepper flakes or sodium free seasonings. I always make sure I eat the fat free version though, no difference in taste from the full-fat version. My kids love it with mandarin oranges.

    I had a post like this a couple of months ago...only bc I accidentally bought cottage cheese ( I don't like it). I have to be honest that I never ended up trying any of the recipes, but I did get lots of great feed back. Just hit search (above) and type in cottage cheese. The thread was started by me (hwilliams519).

    I use ¼ cup of cottage cheese, ¼ cup of vanilla yogourt, one cup of whatever fruit I have on hand and mix everything together. For extra fiber, I add 1/3 cup of Bran Buds.

    My breakfast almost every morning is 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1 pkt splenda, 2 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 c pineapple. It is seriously delicious. Sometimes I add 1 1/2 tbsp slivered Almonds.

    This equals approx 270 cals :)

    Strawberry Fluff Salad

    1 small carton lowfat or nonfat cottage cheese
    1 small can crushed pineapple, in juice, drained very well
    1 (3 oz) sugar free strawberry Jello
    1 small carton lite or fat free Cool Whip

    Sprinkle dry Jello over cottage cheese and mix.
    Add drained pineapple and mix. Stir in Cool Whip. Chill

    I have also used peaches instead of pineapple and used peach Jello. Or mandarin oranges & orange Jello.
