It took me awhile to get used to Cottage Cheese, but it is now a staple in my house. I prefer it savory. So I add it to my pasta sauces, lasgna, on top of veggies, with cracked black pepper. It really does take on the taste of what you mix it with, so I try and mix it with everything I can.
I also love Cottage Cheese Pancakes.
1/2 cup whole grain oats
1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
4 egg whites
1 tsp of vanilla
Mix everything in a blender and cook just like regular pancakes.
The whole batch is worth 7 points (before toppings) I'm making it tonight for Pancake Tuesday. It may seem a little higher in points than regular pancakes but they are clean, and keep you full and satisfied where regular pancakes have no health benefits.
Once cooked I top with apples, pumpkin pie spice, almonds or walnuts and a dab of honey. It keeps me full for hours on end and is so much healthier than regular pancakes.
