    I buy it here (in Canada) in little tubs - fat free and flavoured with strawberry or vanilla - yummy - 110 cals with 10g of protein:drinker:

    Yeah! President's Choice is the bomb!!! I love those things!!

    My ma puts pepper on hers... some people like paprika or sugar on theirs... I eat mine plain or with cantaloupe. It's good with pineapple or strawberries too. I love it so much! I just wish it wasn't so pricy!

    Where are you that cottage cheese is pricey? It's about the same as sour cream in Canada. (ie: cheap) :indifferent:

    IF you like tomatoes it is wonderful with one tablespoon on top of a large slice of tomato with pepper sprinkled on it. And super healthy!!

    Just ate some for my afternoon snack and it was delicious, my husband likes to mix strawberry or other flavored yogurts with it and eat it that way, I haven't gotten that brave. This post though is giving me a lot of good ideas!

    OMG I love it. It's so good on melba toast or saltines.

    As a kid my mom used to mix it with noodles that were covered in brown butter. (You heat butter to almost burnt). Salt and pepper. Tiny egg noodles drained well, cover with brown butter then mix in cottage cheese. The fuller fat and creamier the better. I think I found my next Spike food! LOL

    That's either a Hungarian or a Slovak recipe ^. Cheap and filling!

    I heard about a way to have cottage cheese--but it just DID NOT sound good to me!! 3 oz tuna plus 1 cup of cottage cheese. I said to myself "you have GOT to be kidding" but I tried it...and I liked it!! Others have added salsa to this, but I prefer this way better.

    I love cottage cheese. I use it on bread instead of normal cheese, eat it with fruit and spoon it on top of pasta and soups for extra protein. Yum! :tongue:

    Cottage Cheese is very good. However, some brands are not so good. So, it's important to try a few different brands at first. Even store-brands can be better than the name-brands. The best brand I've had is Bareman's, which is a Michigan-based brand.

    Also, there is small curd cottage cheese and large curd cottage cheese. I prefer small curd, as large curd tends to be a little disgusting..lol

    I particularly like cottage cheese with a traditional turkey dinner. Yum!

    I love cottage cheese. I mix it with fruit or it is really good with tomato slices. I also season it with onion salt. I recommend it.

    hmmm cottage cheese, I love it! It's good on it's own and I especially like it with diced peaches on top. You have to watch the sodium though, even in the non-fat or low fats, but still a way better option than other foods saltwise.

    Tuna and cottage cheese on a baked potato is one of my faves. :smile:

    Lidl does the nicest cottage cheese I've found in UK - seems a bit drier and smaller curds than other brands, and it tastes nicer (probably got more salt in!)

    I agree, Daisy Brand is nasty. Dd and I both agree tha Kroger cottage cheese in the orange/red container is the best. It's on sale right now for $1.99/24oz I think. Also, I store mine upside down, I heard it makes it last longer.

    I've never really liked the taste of the stuff. I only eat it when I make healthy poutine. Sounds weird I know but SO good!

    Oven baked fries
    Low sodium gravy
    Cottage cheese

    Layer it all and it's actually really good!

    If you don't like the texture of cottage cheese you could try Skinny Crowdie, it's a Scottish low fat soft cheese which isn't as runny or gloopy. I can buy it north of the Border but not sure about south,
