    Haha, I'm eating cottage cheese right now! My favorite way to eat it is: 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese, 1/2 cup partially thawed frozen blueberries, 1-2 tbs chopped walnuts or almonds. Yum! (ps; I definitely recommend 2% over nonfat. The small amount of fat is worth the taste and I think it's lower in sodium.)

    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'm gonna try that for my lunch tomorrow

    I use it when making my tuna salad. I use:
    1 can (6 oz) tuna
    1/3 cup cottage cheese
    2 tbsp low fat Mayo
    1/4 cup onion
    1 celery stalk
    2 tbsp parsley flakes
    1 teaspoon of mustard
    Black pepper
    Tony's seasoning

    I mix everything up and have it on toast, regular bread, or a flour tortilla (discovered it wasn't so bad when I ran out of bread)

    I'm currently eating 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 2 strawberries, a clementina orange and 1/4 cup cranberry almond granola all mixed in. Om nom nom.

    Some great ideas in this thread. I'm still working my way through them, but there are definitely things I want to try. I like mine plain or with a little cinnamon and some fruit. I have to say, though, that I'm not a fan of free cottage cheese. I like the 1% and the 2%, but this seems, to me, like a food that needs a little fat.

    A great way to have it is in your own recipe for lasagna, just add frozen, thawed spinach and drain it well, pick your own sauce, some pre-cooked noodles and you're good to go!!! Of course, it's also great on it's own as a snack, you'd be surprised how far 1/2 cup can go!!! :happy:

    I seen a recipe on TV today that said to take low fat cottage cheese, add cinnamon, vanilla extract, splenda, and diced apples. It looked good and kind of sounds good, I have yet to try it though.

    I haven't read through the whole post yet, but you can mix it with a box of sugar free jello (any flavor you like), some cool whip light, some pineapple chunks, and a container of cottage cheese and it's yummy.
