    On top of baked potato in place of sour cream

    In scrambled eggs to make them extra fluffy

    In lasagna instead of ricotta cheese

    I cut up chives (as much or as little as you would like) and use it as a dip for veggies or chips!

    I just put any kind of Mrs. Dash spice onto it and mix it up really well. LOVE it that, way. Great way to get protein with lots of taste and no extra sodium. :)

    I love eating plain cottage cheese with vegges or fruits. Occasionally I make Lasagna substituting cottage cheese for Ricotta cheese.

    With a stick blender, I process equal parts cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt. I add Splenda, ice, coconut extract and banana. Soooo goooood! It's my colada!

    I put sugar free strawberry preserves, sugar free pudding mix, casein, or peanut butter in it. I've never used it for recipes. Sweet potato and cottage cheese is good too.

    Mix 500g pot with 2 beaten eggs and the kind of vegetable you like suitable for a quiche, onions, mushrooms, peppers.

    Then add to a flan dish and pop in the oven at about 180' for 25 mins or until just turning golden on top. Great warm for a meal or cold as snacks, should make 4 decent portions or 6 snack.

    Really low cal overall.

    excuse my ignorance and no doubt i'll show it plain and clear now :P but 180 is that us or uk?

    I'd assume it was in Celsius (UK) as it would be too low of a temp to be Fahrenheit (US). The conversions would be 180C, 350F or gas mark 4, which is a moderate temp.

    I like orange fluff.

    1 pk. sugar free orange jello
    1 pk. sugar free vanilla pudding
    1 can crushed pineapples (drained well)
    1 can mandarin oranges (drained well)
    1 pint fatfree cottage cheese
    1 tub cool-whip

    I don't know the calories per serving though I haven't made sence starting here but you just made me think of it , "THANKS" :happy:

    Oh, and if it was reg cottage I would eat 1/2 cup with buttered (lightly) toast, but it is hard to find good cottage cheese any more like I like .

    I find this needs a little more salt and garlic than the recipe calls for, but it's still really good...

    I love cottage cheese plain. Sadly, a half cup has so much sodium it is a rarer treat for me than eating something loaded with sugars or fats. A half cup is not much cottage cheese, it is a small serving; but that comes with almost 600mg of sodium.

    I make something I call chocage cheese. Basically I put some cottage cheese in a bowl. Add cocoa powder. Add a packet of sweetener. Mix it like crazy. Mouthgasm.
    I do this, but add way more stuff...

    1/2 cup CC
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1 Tbsp cocoa powder
    1/4 pkg FF/SF pudding, any flavour works great (mmmmm cheesecake...)
    70g frozen blueberries or 1 cup of fresh fruit, to your liking

    Freeze for 15-30 minutes.

    For extra volume, you can add 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, or top with some cereal, nuts, granola or whatever you like. If I have a lot of fats left for the day I top with natural PB.

    Protein Brownies:

    Protein pancakes:

    Also great on salad with fresh salsa, nutritional yeast and some balsamic vinegar. Yum! :bigsmile:

    Just had some for my dinner. I like the one with pineapple in. I had it on my Jacket potato with salad.

    Sometimes have it on Rivitas for lunch too. Low calorie and high in protein.

    I like to add some powdered sugar free jell-o to it, maybe add some manderine oranges and/or pineapple, nuts. And if you want even smoother add some cool-whip mixed in with it. very refreshing.
