    I like the 2% large curd. My favorite add in is leftover grilled pineapple. Since that does not happen often, pepper is my next favorite. I also use it for lasagna because I am not fond of ricotta.

    I grew up eating it from the middle of half a cantaloupe. I love it that way!

    Last night I had 1/2 a cup over some sliced strawberries with just a little honey.
    It was the best treat ever!

    I use to hate cottage cheese to, now I crave it all the time.

    yum, so many great idea's for cottage cheese!! I like it plain, with fruit or in a lasagna. I used to use it in a lemon cheesecake but that's off my menu now!

    I am def going to try it in a smoothie!

    I have recently started eating it as a snack or at breakfast, because it is very filling! I like it on a piece of toast, or over 1 scrambled egg white and 1 scrambled egg. It's pretty good!

    Mmm! I like it plain or on toast! I've never tried it with fruit, but the thought almost makes me feel sick...maybe someday I'll get the guts to try it!

    I make a dip/sauce for fish tacos or mexican-y chicken:

    1 avocado
    1 c cottage cheese
    1 c fresh cilantro
    a couple cloves garlic
    pinch salt
    pinch sugar
    a bit of the water that comes off the top of greek plain yogurt
    lemon juice

    blend it all up and it makes a great cilantro/avocado dip or sauce for mexican food.

    I love Fat Free cottage cheese. I eat it plain, with cantalope (spelling?) If I want it sweet. With tomatoes or salsa for a little salty. So yummy!!!

    I don't think I've ever had "salty" flavored cottage cheese. In my opinion it doesn't have too much of a flavor to it, and the people who don't like it tend to not like it because of the texture (understandable).

    Anyway, I eat both 1% and 4% plain, in protein shakes, or in lasagna.

    Yum! It's on of my favs!! I love canned peaches and cottage cheese. I love it with salt and pepper and crackers. A friend of mine eats it on her tacos. I haven't ventured that far. But I do use in place of ricotta for lasagna, I just blend it with and egg and herbs and parm cheese. HUGE money saver. I do also enjoy cottage cheese, mandarin oranges and a packet of low fat whatever flavored jello you like. That is heaven!! There is also a cherry one that my mom used to make. It's fab!

    I do the mandarin oranges/jello...love it!
