cottage cheese..what do do with it?!

we have a tub in the fridge that i've been looking at for a week...wondering what to do! i'm so glad someone asked this question!

I love it plain with a bit of salt and pepper. I also love it with any of the following in it:
tomatoes
avocado
carrots and celery (sliced thin)
potato chips (adds a salt crunch)
peaches
pineapple
kiwi
apples
mixed tropical fruit
cherries
strawberries
blueberries


This recipe is yummy, you may want to season it up more it's a bit bland if you just follow the recipe:

Fluffy Pancakes

2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup cottage cheese
2 Tablespoons cream cheese (laughing cow's)That is my idea here.
pinch of sugar substitute ,
1 Tablespoon wheat germ
1Tablespoon rice flour or Wondra
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of baking soda

Whip the eggs in a food processor or by hand until frothy. add the cheeses and beat until smooth. Add a little artificial sweetener. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse to blind. Gently scrape the batter onto the griTddle about 10 pancakes. cook over medium heat until the edges of the cakes are set and large bubbles appear across the surface,about 1 minute. Carefully flip them and cook for half as long as on the first side or until golden. Serve on heated plates, with a drizzle of dietetic maple syrup or berry syrup . per serving 10 grams carbohydrate, 13 grams protein

I don't know the calories

i just bought non-fat cottage cheese because i feel like a lot of people use it in recipes..except i don't know what to use it in! haha. how do you guys enjoy it? i know a lot of people just put fruit in it. i think i've seen pancake recipes that call for it too??
please post your recipes!! thanks

Recipes? I LOVE cottage cheese, just as it is! Who needs recipes!

i like to eat it plain with a little salt, with fruit or nuts. i use it how i would use yogurt i guess.

Your recipe sounds interesting. I will have to try it one day. Tks

I love to chop up an apple and mix it into cottage cheese with a touch of mayo - apple salad, tasty.

I like it with sliced strawberries or cantaulope, or both. It is high in sodium, but I love it. I am a texture person and I like its texture.

great idea

Hi..Do you know how many cal's are in this.. sounds really good..

throw it away! that **** is nasty!!!

I like the enchilada idea. I just toss mine on salad or add in fruit. But I do like the idea of the chocage cheese...sounds like something I may have to try tonight pryroron. Craving like crazy here today!

We have some in the fridge because we have been using it in our pancakes. I'm gonna have to get some more and try some of these yummy ideas!!
