I like to scoop out half of a small cantaloupe, fill it with 3/4 c. of lowfat cottage cheese, and sprinkle it with freshly ground pepper.

I had yet another baked potato with cottage cheese last night... I added some pepper and Garlic & Herb Mrs. Dash. It was super super yummy.

Don't forget the protein pancakes!

Blend in a blender:
1 egg
1/3 cups oats
1/3 cup cottage cheese
dash of cinnamon
dash of vanilla

Cook this batter like pancakes. Yummy. You could certainly use these as a bread substitute as well. Some people put Splenda in these to make them sweet - but I don't.

This is what they look like.

I personally like it as is. But I also like putting it on baked potatoes and baked spaghetti squash. I also love it mixed with mashed potatoes as well. Anytime I have mashed potatoes, I break out my cottage cheese.

Mmmmm. I like cottage cheese both sweet and savory. Try it with some peas and finely chopped sweet onions. For sweet, I like a mixture of either strawberries or raspberries and blueberries (it looks so patriotic ) I also sometimes mix in a spoonful of plain or vanilla yogurt for a smoother texture.

I make the pancakes slightly differently:

3 egg whites
1/3 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup oatmeal

Blend with water til it's the consistency you like. I like thin pancakes, so I add a fair amount of water and get several pancakes. If you like fat fluffy ones, start with no water and go from there. I like to top it with NSA applesauce with some cinnamon mixed in.

I like my cottage cheese mixed with nonfat yogurt. I mix 1/4 cup FF cottage cheese with 1/2 cup FF Greek yogurt, stir in some splenda and some cinnamon, and top it with 1 oz of berries. It's my new favorite snack!

I also like to run it through the food processor, add sweetener, cinnamon, and fruit, and use it as a filling for crepes (I make crepes using Pat's recipe above). Running it through the food processor completely changes the texture; it gets very smooth and creamy.

fiberlover: Do those actually taste like pancakes? I often crave pancakes but bisquick recipes (even recipe for 2 people) makes SO many and I live alone. So are these actually tasty?

And do you think they'd be good with a scoop of Chocolate protein powder?

I like it cold and plain with a side of raw veggies.
I also like it in smoothies with or without yogurt, with fruit.

And dinky meal is now a little more balanced.
Me too, I like it with spaghetti or lasagna (prefer the texture to ricotta). I also like it with canned pineapple mixed in. I prefer the full fat version but after years of behaving myself and eating the fat free, the full fat is a little too rich for me and I get gut rot if I eat it so I stick with FF.

I like them a lot. They aren't as fluffy as pancakes, but when you put a topping on them, they are quite good. I suppose you could flavor them any way you like!

As for the bisquick mix - I make single servings of that using 40 grams of mix (about 1/3 cup), and using 1/3 cup milk. It's just as easy to do that than make up a big batch.

Sometimes I blend it with mandarin oranges - comes out like a smoothie.
Very creamy.

i grew up loving cottage cheese with pepper and diced onion. mmmm.

but i also enjoy it with fruit sometimes, or a bit of strawberry preserves. took me a while to adjust to adding sweets to it since i always ate it either plain or with onions!
