I have heard cottage cheese is really good but i have no idea how to use it! any recipes?
You don't "use" cottage cheese. You eat it. Just eat it. It's good all by itself.0 -
I mixed up with scramble eggs and some basil the other day and my fam bam Loved IT.... best of all they didn't even figure it out... lol until when I mention it.... :laugh:0

Spit it out and never look back at it again (unless you get a good quality cottage cheese). Do not get store brand! It takes like spoiled milk curd!0

Eat it by the truckloads is the only right answer.0

I love to make banana nut protein pancakes with it!!!!
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 banana
3 egg whites
2 tbsp walnuts
1 tsp cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
1tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp baking powder
Blend everything but the nuts in your blender until very smooth. Pour onto your skillet and sprinkle the nuts on top. YUMMMM!!!!0 -
I eat it plain, but my sweetie and I also like to make a cheese dip out of it for a special treat. I just warm it slowly and add a bit of 2% or fat free cheddar and a little homemade salsa. It's creamy and feels like cheating without as many calories as regular cheese dip.
What a fantastic idea! Never thought of that before!0 -
With chopped tomatoes and crushed black pepper....mmmm...
I also put it on my spinach omelet before rolling it up.0 -
I chop up onions, celery, green and red peppers, grape tomatoes cut in half, sunflower seeds, and cilantro. Salt and pepper. Delicious.0

plain or with some salt and pepper
when I didn’t watch what I ate dip it up with corn chips
any kind of fruit (drizzle a little honey if you like)
with tomatoes and a little rice vinegar
I got this from a close friend (I call it white girl enchiladas)
take an enchilada shell and layer in seasoned ground beef (cooked) I also add in a little onion and taco seasoning to meat then add some cottage cheese, layer in some shredded cheese of choice and a little tomato, cilantro or any other add in for a enchilada rollup and do as many as you wish and lay out in a pan and cover with shredded cheese and some parmesan cheese and green enchilada sauce and bake at 350 degrees til top is bubbly and hot.
Lower fat than sour cream
Also as an add in to a jello/cool whip fruit salad
Let jello (larger box) set up and shred up add in fruit of choice some whip cream and about 1/2 of cottage cheese to what you use of fruit.
There are a few off the top of my head.0 -
I'm low carbing (Diabetic and lap banded) so love cottage cheese with davinci pineapple sugar free syrup. I also used it instead of ricotta in a cheesy spinach bake (which I am sure could be made lower fat if you are not on a low carb type diet by using low fat cheese and such). We omitted the butter and used pam even tho we are on Atkin's diet:)

We also added some mushrooms and will add some plain artichoke hearts next time for more nutrients and fiber!
The way that we made it (omitting onions due to gastric issues), it only had 147 calories a slice (I"m banded so that was enough for me and my husband ate something else with it)0 -
I love to add a little chunky canned pineapple (w/ a splash of the pineapple juice) into cottage cheese.. it's more like a dessert this way, and is sooo good.0
-
I use it in my lasagna instead of ricotta cheese.0

Dr. Oz was on one day and said cottage cheese was really good with pickles. I tried it, and it really isn't bad at all...Everyone should try it0

Was never a big fan of cottage cheese, but then I tried Fiber One cottage cheese and I love it. I mix it with crushed pineapple, in pineapple juice, not syrup, and mandarin oranges. It's a great snack and loaded with protein.0

I LOVE it with pineapple on Tuc biscuits.0

I eat it plain or with fruit on top, oranges, pineapple, peaches.
I've also made a lower calorie buffalo chicken dip with it because I love that stuff, I just put about equal amounts cottage cheese and shredded chicken and added Frank's Red Hot. I dipped celery and wheat thins in it, it was delicious!0
