How the heck do you eat COTTAGE CHEESE?!

I've never NOT eaten cottage cheese plain; I guess I'm just one of those people

but then again, I've been eating it since I could feed myself, so I'm used to it

I LOVE cottage cheese.. I'm a fan of the small curd low-fat

I eat it with pineapple or mandarin oranges

I eat with with finely chopped green pepper and onion (my nana's recipe)

I mix 1/4 cup with 1/2 cup egg whites, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder and some cinnamon and make pancakes out of it. SOOOO yummy!

I used to hate it now I get the lowfat Mayfield and eat it with Pineapple so good that i eat it as a snack most everyday

Cottage Cheese with a little bit of dry ranch powder and mixed together. I dip triscuits or veggies.

LIke an elephant, one bite at a time.

For a long time, I didn't like cottage cheese, but I tried it again recently and really like it now. I agree with all the comments below.

However, during the time that I didn't like it, I did like lite pimento cheese, which is has cottage cheese in it. Us either one to dip veggies in as well as eating it with fruit. Sometimes the fruit is too sweet for what you want. The veggies (celery, carrots, cucumbers, raw asparagus, sweet red peppers, are much lower in calories and natrual sugars than fruit.
If you still can't handle it, eat yogurt instead. Good Luck! Hope this helps!

What the heck kind of pimento cheese have you been eating? LOL

I *love* cottage cheese, and have since I was a kid, but I'd NEVER put fruit in it. My mother does, usually using canned peaches, and it really makes me gag... I can't mix salty and sweet like that (the only exception being chocolate covered pretzels).

I also love dairy in general, so I think for me the curds/whey thing is just a cold, savory-delicious way to eat cheese... lol. If the taste of it disagrees with you, try a different consistency, brand, fat content, etc. I can eat any variety and be happy, but I definitely prefer regular old cottage cheese to the low-fat versions because I find they taste dry.

I eat mine with pineapple or peaches, it really satisfies my sweets cravings. Looking at some of the posts here though I'm getting great ideas for other ways to use it

Oh gosh, it's so delicious!

I enjoy mine with:

Salsa (pico de gallo, homemade)
Fruit (fresh fruit of any sort, berries, kiwis, bananas, grapes are my favorites)
Yogurt
On top of waffles with fruit
Just plain
Swirled with a bit of fruit preserve


Yum!

I knew a guy who mixed tuna fish and cottage cheese:sick: I prefer it plain with a dash of pepper. Delicious! But there really are so many uses for it!

Cottage cheese is loaded with sodium. If you're like me and trying to watch your sodium, Friendship makes a cottage cheese with no salt added!

I'm having cottage cheese for lunch! It's very versitile! I've thought about blending it up and using it in lasagna instead of riccotta cheese. I've heard of people putting it in smoothies... that doesn't sound great to me but who knows, maybe I'll try it out and eat my words (literally).

I would be careful eating it with pineapple or any fruit for that matter. The whole purpose of having it as a snack is to keep it healthy and adding pineapple and other fruit will raise the sugar level.

I have substituted it in place of ricotta for lasagna numerous times without telling my guests and they seldom notice. Also sprinkling pepper (if you like some spice) or cinnamon to help raise your metabolism to burn more calories.

Happy eating

I could probably live on cottage cheese if I could....it is sooo good

Years ago, when my mom was in Weight Watchers, she used cottage cheese in place of mayonnaise in egg salad. Ever since, I have preferred my egg salad be made that way. It makes for a much lighter texture as well as less fat & calories. Don't knock it 'til you try it...

i eat mine with a spoon, usually...
