    My mom mixes it with Pace Picante Sauce. I just like it straight out of the container! If you have never tried Knudsen brand (or Breakstone, depending on what part of the country you live in), you should give it a try. I didn't like cottage cheese until I tried Knudsen. It is so YUMMY!

    I love it with fresh tomato and onion slices. Oh and salt n pepper. (if youre not sensitive to sodium) :) also, it makes a good substitute for mayo in sanwiches.

    Blend it up and make CHEESECAKE SMOOOTHIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    A bit of sweetner, whatever flavoring (cocoa, whey, strawberries, banana, cinnamon, lemon, mint extract, coffee) etc.

    And they'll have a dessert-like flavor.

    It's super naughty.

    You have my guarantee.

    and who doesn't love super naughty cottage cheese?

    It's really good on toast, especially whole wheat english muffins.

    Spaghetti squash topped with cottage cheese and marinara with a sprinkling of red. fat cheese. Bake it off and it's super yummy and filling.

    I mix it with peanut butter and eat it on rice cakes or just as it is. Or try this in the mornings - 5 egg whites, 1/4 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of oats. Mix together and cook like a pancake. Serve with low carb/low sugar maple syrup. Really yummy and a high protein start to your day!

    you could just eat it! If you put sliced peaches in it, it will sweeten up the cottage cheese and make a delicious healthy snack. I love cottage cheese and could sit and eat it all day.

    If you want a recipe you could mix it with some fresh or packaged ricotta cheese and make a lasagna or stuffed tubes! message me if you need a recipe.

    Roasted peppers stuffed with cottage cheese- flavoured with green or red pesto. mmmmm.

    Also- I add chilli sauce (usually thai sweet chilli sauce) to my cottage cheese and use cucumber sticks to dip into it.

    I mix it with steamed cabbage, browned ground turkey, Delallo Fat Free Marinara and Simply Organic All Purpose Seasoning. Makes a tasty low carb "lasagna"

    I add sweetner and loads of cinnamon then put it on whole grain toast. Pop it in the micro for 10 +- seconds and it's yummy.

    I just started adding cocoa powder and some sweetener to it and I'm now addicted! lol
    I also added the cocoa to greek yogurt and the result is I have 2 new go-to's when I'm craving something chocolate, creamy & sweet.

    I'm so craving cottage cheese now!

    My favorite is I make a faux lasagne with zucchini slices (sometimes I dip them in egg whites whisked and brown them first in a nonstick pan), then chunky marinara sauce, cottage cheese (blended with Italian herbs, salt & pepper) and then on the top with a small sprinkle of Parmesan or fat free mozzerella. Bake until bubbly!!!

    I like to add a touch of Italian dressing to it. Yummy. Or I put it in salads.

    I love cottage cheese mixed with applesauce and a bit of cinnamon! YUM!
    I do this but throw it in the food processor bc I hate the texture of cottage cheese. I love it as a pudding, though. So do my kidlets.

    I've been tossing some walnuts in mine with a dash of paprika, dill weed and salt. Sounds gross, but it's actually kind of tasty!!

    So glad you ask. I had no idea you could do all of these things with cottage cheese. Thanks for helping the rest of us. As for me, I get the Dole Peach Fruit cups and mix half (peaches and syrup) in with a half a cup of Cottage Cheese. I do plan on trying a lot of the suggestions here because I love cottage cheese. Good to know you should eat some before bed. Thanks
