    In lasagne, can you use cottage cheese instead of the white sauce? Blended maybe, and savouried-up?

    My go to is usually as-is with lots of black pepper, but it is a very versatile food

    Process in food processor or blender until smooth, add RF mont jack cheese and spinach and it is a great enchilada or lasagna filling depending on the spices you add (italian seasoning vs. cumin)

    Top a baked potato with cottage cheese and salsa (old school ww recipe)

    Those are mine, but there are some really great ideas in this post!

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1/2 banana
    3 egg whites
    vanilla
    cinnamon


    put it in a blender, mix and pour onto a hot lightly sprayed pan or griddle

    flip when there are bubbles

    makes about 3 pancakes

    I like mine with jam or fresh fruit!

    I pretty much just eat it as it is, with salad or on crackers. However- intrigued by some of the ideas on here so will try to get more creative!

    You can mix cottage cheese, dry ranch dip, and ff milk in a blender to make a low cal ranch dressing. Just add enough milk for consistency. It's really good!

    I just eat mine plain. I get 4% milkfat though. Non-fat is just nasty, it tastes sour.

    I heard this tip from a friend for my sweet cravings using cottage cheese:

    Blend some cottage cheese, peanut butter and some splenda to taste. The end result is something like peanut butter pie filling. You could also whip some egg whites up and fold them in to create a peanut butter mousse :)

    Wrap it in a corn tortilla for some awesome cottage cheese enchiladas!

    Add some fresh Onion and tomato for some added awesome ness.

    Or make tacos with Grilled bell peppers onion and avocado.

    I love cottage cheese, growing up we made the enchilas but we added chili sauce and Cheddar cheese, but you dont need that. Corn and cottage cheese go well together if your not feeling something sweet with it.

    I love red enchiladas with cottage cheese...not too healthy but delicious!!!!!

    Try freezing it, maybe add a bit of cinnamon/sweetener.

    Then it tastes just like ice cream!

    i like it mixed with some fruit...but, my favorite is to mix it with some pecans & cut up green olives with pimento.

    i like it straight up out of the container with a little salt and pepper

    or i will put a couple spoonfulls on my salad (i cannot have dressings; my body does not process vinegar well) and that is really good too.

    you could throw it in a processor too and blend it up and dip fruit slices in if you want.

    I put it on my salads and just mix it in with a little ranch dressing. It makes me feel like I'm eating a salad DRENCHED in dressing (a feeling that appeals to me), but it's really cottage cheese! (with the small amount of ranch for flavor). Also the curds are little bites of awesome in a salad. I also have recently discovered that it's good on something like mashed potatoes or a baked potato instead of sour cream. I dislike it plain. The adding it to a salad thing is the biggest reason I buy it!
