    I simple add it to some romaine lettuce to make wraps.
    When I make breafkast, I sautee sweet potatoes, red onions, bell peppers, spinach, and tomato. As a topping, I add cottage cheese.
    On a bagel as a replacement of cream cheese.

    I like to chop up an apple and sprinkle it with cinnamon and then microwave it for a minute or so until it's tender. Then I put a spoonful of cottage cheese on top and Mmmmm!

    i am no help---i use it in my homemade lasagna. :) sorry

    I was thinking of how my mom used it over egg noodles smothered in butter. She called it "Macaroni and Cheese". :laugh: I had the mac and cheese most people are used to for the first time in my High School cafeteria. That poor cafeteria lady! I stared at it as if she put slimy worms on my plate. (No, I didn't have the sense to realize it was right in front of me behind the glass, and not hidden away somewhere in back. It was my first ordering from a cafeteria experience...).

    Anyhow, I now use a third of the butter she did, and fat free cottage cheese to make the same recipe.

    Prepare noodles according to the package directions. Drain. (7.5 cups)
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Melt the butter in the baking pan. (1/3 of a stick)
    Mix the noodles into the butter.
    Layer the cottage cheese (3 cups) on top of the noodles
    Bake for 30 minutes.

    515 calories, 32 protein. I rigged it for 4 servings, but I suppose you can divy it up into smaller portions for less calories.

    I use it to make a fake Greek salad (fewer calories than using feta)...

    * Chopped whole cucumber (feel like you're eating loads even though it is incredibly low in calories)
    * Chopped tomato
    * Chopped raw onion
    * Cottage cheese
    * Splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar
    * Couple of olives chopped finely
    * Loads and loads of dried oregano (gives it that lovely Greek taste)

    Yum! Really quick to do before going to work - I take it in a Tupperware box for lunch.

    with fruit on the side, any really, lately I've been eating it with apples
    mixed with bagged broccoli slaw
    as part of a sandwich with ham or turkey on a bagel thin
    sometimes I just add some sugar or sweetener and powdered ginger

    Me too. I like it better than ricotta.

    I just saw a recipe that uses fat free cottage cheese as a low fat veggie dip. Take fat free cottage cheese blend until smooth and add a ranch dressing pack and refigerate overnight. Great with your favorite veggies. I thought to give it a try.

    This is what I do, only I don't blend it. I just mix it and voila. It's great with broccoli, carrots, celery, etc. You can also use it as a 'dressing' for salads if you do choose to blend it.
