I haven't had this in a long time, I didn't like it last time I tried it but I want to try it again. Any suggestions to ease me into it? Mix-ins etc? Thanks.

    I like cottage cheese best with fresh strawberries or pineapples. The reason for this is I can't take the acid in those fruits straight up, but mixed with Cottage cheese the acid is cut/coated so it does not eat up my mouth.

    I like my CT savoury. I add chopped garlic, chilli peppers, onion and bell peppers and have it on Ryvitas.
    Another way is to make a spread out of it. I'll add some seasoning's (cumin, chilli flakes, garlic, oregano, mint etc) and then mash the CT down until it's like a paste.

    I like mine with some pineapple chunks, or raspberries, or blueberries.

    We like ours with applesauce. I think I might have to try some of the other ideas given too. Good luck!

    There was a recent thread on cottage cheese that had tons of good ideas on it. If you search for cottage cheese, you should be able to pull it up.

    I'm From Amarica and LOVE the cottage cheese there but now live in England and it tastes completely different here!! I still like it but not as much (it is sort of sour here). Its the first thing I buy to eat when I go back home! Love it with beets...and lots of other ways!!! Yummy on rivita crackers with pepper too (others have said that) ...happy eating!!!

    Another thread on cottage cheese quiche that is wonderful! 2 cups cottage cheese, 2 eggs + whatever you'd like in quiche. Bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

    I just made it with crab, almonds, green onion, and topped with mozzarella cheese. It's really, really good and you'd never guess it's cottage cheese based.

    minced onion
    onion powder
    garlic powder
    dill
    salt
    frank's hot sauce

    healthiest buffalo ranch dip - great for veggies, chicken, and tuna fish.

    Honestly, I love cottage cheese and could eat it by itself. My favorites are with fruit and honey; and there was a spread I used to make with corn, salt, ground pepper and tuna and it was heavenly. You could add any vegetable you like or have on hand too!

    Note: If the texture bothers you, work it just a little in a food processor, it will be creamy like cream cheese.

    Spicy, chunky salsa. And (it sounds gross but is sooo delicous), when I was pregnant I got hooked on adding some crushed baked BBQ chips to it for some crunch. Amazing!

    If you can, try and find a UK brand called Longley Farm - it has a little cow on the front of a white tub. It's so different to the watery stuff you get in supermarkets - more solid, creamy, and much tastier! I think some supermarkets have it but more often I see it in health food shops.
