    I'm sure they're horrible for you... but I LOVE it with bacon bits sprinkled on top! It does wonders for the texture.

    I eat a ton of cottage cheese... I like it with tuna and cherry tomatoes mixed in..(super protein!)

    I also love it with fresh pineapple.

    IMO Trader Joe's low fat is the best tasting out there.

    I saw your post and I just had to answer because I am sitting here eating cottage cheese. :)

    I eat if plain or with crackers. You can put it in lasagna. But different brands have different tastes. I only like one brand so if one turns you off, try a different one.

    I love cottage cheese, it's great with sliced cucumbers. I sometimes will mix chives into it, that's great, too. Another thing I've done is sprinkle with "salad seasoning." Pineapple tidbits are good drained and mixed in with it. Another way I use to enjoy it is spread on toast. Really good.

    I eat it plain or on a salad. Breakstone has a new low sodium cottage cheese. I saw it at walmart but it was outdated so I didn't buy it. I will when they get more. I look out for my sodium intake as well and if I can buy the low sodium kind I will. Daisy 2% is the lowest i have found besides the Breakstone brand.

    My dad likes to eat low fat cottage cheese mixed with low fat sour cream and mixed berries.

    Some of my cousins go through an entire container a day slathering it on top of open-faced sandwiches.

    I like cottage cheese with pieces of fresh pineapple or mango. Makes a great breakfast, or quick lunch.

    Have not read all the posts.

    I add it to my lasagna instead of ricotta. I have recently been adding it to a meal as a side, with S&P on top. If I am eating a sandwhich it goes great with it.

    I used to really be grossed out with it but my hubby got me used to it.

    I just eat it the way it is. Sometimes I add pineapple. Breakstone has 100 cal cups that come with fruit already.

    When I first started my diet I was eating cottage cheese every morning for breakfast. I usually ate anwyhere from 1/2 cup to 1 cup of cottage cheese and I love to eat pineapple with it. Sometimes I would also made a fruit salad with kiwi, apple, orange, strawberries, blueberries, and peach and have a handful of fruit and cottage cheese for breakfast.

    I really like cottage cheese myself. I sprinkle some freshly ground pepper on top of it and chow down. Yum

    I love Kalona Supernatural 4% cottage cheese, especially with blackberries. It's often my breakfast or lunch :)

    edit: P.S. before I found Kalona, I hated cottage cheese, but something about this brand is deliciously addictive

    I add fruit. I use it in salad. I eat it plain. Sometimes I toss in some ham. I know it's high in sodium....but I drink lots of water and watch the other sodium levels.

    I love it mixed with peanut butter and sliced bananas. I lived off that stuff in college.

    I'm very particular about the brand of cottage cheese I like. But when I do eat it I love it on a slice of toast and some fruit on the side! I grew up with that! It was almost a staple in our house for breakfast!

    I am particular too...it has to be low fa 2%t small curd Knudsen...pink container. Have tried other brands...and ended up tossing them.

    YES! Pink contain Knudsen is the BEST! I've had to throw out other brands too. But now I live in a different area and can't find Knudsen anymore. :( I recently got desperate and ended up trying Trader Joe's Organic low-fat and it was pretty good. Not nearly as good as Knudsen pink, but totally edible. I'll keep buying it, because I love cottage cheese as a low cal, high protein snack. But if anyone in Seattle knows where to by Knudsen CC, let me know! ;)

    To answer the OP, I usually just eat cottage cheese plain. I don't like mixing it with things usually, but I will sometimes have a sliced apple or something on the side. I know a few people who eat it mixed with granola.

    I am not overly fond of it myself but the only way I can eat it is to mix it with fruit. But i haven't had it in years..

    I LOVE cottage cheese and make it a daily snack for myself. I add sliced almonds to it. Yum!
