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 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!
  • With roasted, salted almonds! Yumm!

    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 on salad. I love it with salsa on baked potato, With salsa and low calorie tortilla's, and just with some slat and pepper. So good.

    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
