How do you eat your cottage cheese?

I'm getting bored of eating cottage cheese plain. Does anybody have any suggestions on something to make with it or mix into it?
How do you like it?

    I LOVE eating cottage cheese with fresh or canned pineapple or peaches mixed in! I wouldn't eat it otherwise. Hubby mixes in jam, which I think is weird!

    I like to cut up tomatoes in my cottage cheese and sprinkle a lil salt and pepper on them. but you have to get the good summertime tomatoes or pay an arm and a leg for one at the grocery store in the winter. You can also mix some in your spaghetti for a little added protein.

    I like my cottage cheese mixed with just about a little bit of any flavored jelly :smile:

    I like to cut up an apple and put it in the cottage cheese. Pears, peaches and pineapples are good too

    I eat it with pepper and halved cherry tomatoes. To me, it should be savory.

    My hubby, however, loves it with yogurt and fruit. He prefers it to be sweet.

    I like it with peanut butter and protein powder. I typically have the calories available to eat it like this right before I go to bed!

    But recently discovered powdered peanut butter and powdered chocolate peanut butter which would probably be a great lower cal way to get this delicious desert!

    I've been buying organic pineapple and it is fabulous. I didn't even like pineapple until I bought the real thing--NOT in cans.

    I recently discovered cottage cheese and salsa. Love it! Great with crackers, or as a topping for baked potatos.

    I blend CC in the blender until it's smooth. Then stir in some vanilla and Splenda and a little cinnamon. Then I dice up a granny smith apple, nuke it for a minute or so and then add to the mixture. It's YUMMY! I've also added blueberries to the mixture.

    I add it to spaghetti sauce - it's filling and low carb.

    You can mix in a sugar free pudding mixture to the blended CC and chill - that's delish!

    I eat it in my salads. And it's so yummy. The best part is you don't need nearly as much dressing.
    It's the best in caesar salad.

    i love mine for breakfast or snack with fresh ruby red grapefruit (and btw i get the no salt added variety of cottage cheese)

    For a meal though i actually enjoy it mixed with tuna and a tiny bit of mayo as a sandwich filling.

    I love cottage cheese with yogurt! I will mix it with fat free cherry yogurt, put fresh cherries in it and mix fiber one cereal in it! Protein, carbs and fiber!! SO tasty!!!

    My go-to breakfast!!!

    I like lots of pepper on my cottage cheese (love my peppercorn medley pepper grinder from McCormick)
    Then I put either pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds) or toasted almond slivers on it,
    and some kind of fruit:
    dried cranberries (I despise raisins lol)
    or fresh fruit - berries, cantelope, etc
    or even drained canned diced peaches, pears or pineapple
