    I like the Breakstone's 2% reduced sodium brand with fresh fruit, usually oranges. I'll have it for breakfast or a mid morning snack.

    I like pineapple, peaches or pears. Or just plain with black pepper (I know it sounds weird, but that started in college. :) )

    With fresh fruit of any kind
    With granola and fruit
    Stirred into yogurt
    On a waffle with fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey
    Plain, by itself
    With salsa (like pico de gallo, homemade)

    Love it! :)

    Plain
    Black pepper
    Sunflower Seeds stirred in (nice crunch)
    Crouton crumbles stirred in (again crunch and a little flavor although high on the sodium if that's an issue for you - it's not for me)
    With chopped apple, sliced strawberries, some grapes, chopped nuts, and a dash of cinnamon stirred in

    I actually mix my lowfat cottage cheese into my tossed salad. I know it sounds wierd but it kinda takes the place of a creamy dressing. I also love it with lots of black pepper and a little salt and use it as a dip for my Special K crackers. I have always loved cottage cheese.

    Cottage cheese :sick:

    I eat it on the recommendation of my PT. Have elected to eat it with pineapple on oat cakes followed by something with a strong taste to get rid of the cottage cheese after taste.

    On a salad! Makes the dressing go further! Also, if you mix in a packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix in to a large (3 cup) tub of cottage cheese and let it sit overnight, the next day it makes an AMAZING cracker dip! Use low fat cottage cheese and you have a winner compared to other dips out there!

    That's how I love mine! Also with fruit, or hot sauce, sprinkled with bacon, mixed with cucumbers and tomatoes. Doesn't really matter as long as it's not plain, unless I am cooking with it.

    My staple breakfast at the moment is spreading some peanut butter onto toast and topping it with some cottage cheese. I also like it as a snack with some cereal (Special K w/ Red Berries) on top, the sweetness of the cereal and the saltiness of the cheese play together well.
