    I mix a little sugar free jell-o mix in with mine. It includes the zero calorie sweetener and I can have a different flavour every day!

    i eat mine the same way and sometimes i'll put some fruit in with it.

    Cottage cheese with red seedless grapes is my favorite way to eat it.

    I like my large curd 4% cottage cheese on toast, with a spoonfull of chia and one of hemp seeds, for protein and omegas 3 and 6 good stuff, sometimes chopped spinach with nutmeg....

    Love this. I never thought of putting my hemp seeds in cottage cheese. Thanks for the great idea!!

    My current favorite besides just straight-up plain cottage cheese is mixing a tablespoon or two of apple butter into it. Granted, it looks kind of gross but I promise, it's worth getting past the visual disgust for lol

    I have always made a fake rice pudding with cottage cheese too. Except I use cottage cheese, fat free cool whip, splenda, cinnamon, then throw a few raisins in it.

    I slice up ripe strawberries and a packet of splenda and it tastes just like strawberry cheese cake, but I'm gonna try it with cocoa next time since some one wrote about cocoa in ricottasounds awesome. Great ideas everyone :-)

    You could also come up with a tiramisu knockoff by mixing a little coffee and into it, with a dribble of marala/ tia maria / kahlua and dust with cocoa.

    If you wanted a raelly fancy dessert, you could add the sponge fingers to it and have an even closer approximation. Granted, it would up the calories a bit, but compared to the marscapone and cream etc needed for the authentic recipe it would be a good lighter option for a special occasion

    THANK YOU to the original poster and to everyone who has chimed in with ideas.

    Before this thread, I was puzzling over how to get more protein into my diet without breaking the bank on calories. Cottage cheese is a great solution! I've spent the last few days using cottage cheese in my daily menu and it's worked out beautifully!

    (BTW, my favorite so far--although I haven't tried a lot of them--is a Thomas's Light Whole Grain english muffin, toasted, topped with cottage cheese, salt & pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes, for breakfast. The whopping input of protein keeps me satisfied until lunch!)

    Again, THANK YOU, everyone!

    Try mixing it with a couple spoonfuls of unsweetened applesauce, packet of Truvia, and some apple pie spice...tastes like apple pie!

    One night we made a vegetarian red sauce that had roasted eggplant, sliced mushrooms, green peppers in it. We were going to serve it over whole wheat angel hair pasta, but I needed some protein. So I put the pasta on my plate, topped with nonfat cottage cheese, then put the sauce over all. It was fabulous!

    Used this idea for spaghetti tonight...melted a bit between the sauce and noodles. Very good and highly recommend. Filled me up too!
