  • I used to think cottage cheese was repulsive - but I guess my tastebud's have changed, yay .
    I've been putting defrosted frozen blueberries/ or field berries in my cottage cheese.
    I'm not very creative when it comes to food/meal ideas.
    So, I'm looking for some ideas, please.
  • Oh... good stuff!! Tons of protein and tasty.

    I usually eat it out of the carton. My mom likes to put cinnamon on hers. Peaches are good mixed in, too.
  • I do like it sweet with different kinds of fruit For something different and spicy, you might try mixing in some salsa instead.
  • The Only Way I Enjoy Lowfat Cottage Cheese Is With Red Or Green Seedless Grapes Mixed In & Sprinkled With Black Pepper. Yum!
  • Interesting ideas, thanks for the tips.
  • I absolutely love cottage cheese! I eat it almost every single day and I change it up depending on what I'm craving at that moment...

    *banana, almonds and cinnamon
    *banana, almonds and a packet of sugar-free hot cocoa
    *apples, almonds and cinnamon (I microwave the apples for a minute until they get a little soft, let them cool, and then mix them in)
    *peaches
    *plums
    *nectarines
    *smushed raspberries

    there's also a recipe on one of the the boards for pancakes made with cottage cheese, oatmeal and egg whites!! super yummy!!
  • I REALLY like it with crutons...and lots of pepper.
  • With raw almonds and maple syrup (real maple, not pancake syrup). So delicious!!!
  • I don't like it with anything sweet...

    A plain baked potato with 1/2c cottage cheese (2%) is only 200cals and I LOVE it

    For breakfast sometimes I have 2 egg beaters (60cals), 2 strips morning star bacon (60 cals) and I cook the bacon and crumble it into the eggs while they are cooking, then right before I eat it I top it with 1/2c cottage cheese. It's a protein packed 210cal breakfast.
  • to make it feel like a real treat I put some fruit only jam in it.
  • Almost everyday breakfast:

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1 tbls. honey
    2 tbls. walnuts

    Yum! Yum! Yum!
  • Ew, I don't like it sweet either. I kept trying to add fruit and jams and stuff to it and could never choke it down. Now I eat 2% straight from the carton, nothing in it at all, and I actually like it. The black pepper sounds good though.
  • I don't eat frozen dinners often, but when I'm craving lasagna, I'll buy a Smart One's or Michelina's lasagna (usually they're under 250 calories, so a little dinky for dinner by themselves). I add the cottage cheese to the dinner before cooking, usually or stir it in afterward and reheat a little longer to melt the cottage cheese. Then I'll make a salad and maybe another veggie. And dinky meal is now a little more balanced.
  • Cottage cheese and pineapple is so yummy!
  • I love it with chopped cucumber, tuna, and pepper.
    And I use it drained in lasagna dishes in place of the ricotta - I prefer the texture for this.
    With sugar free apple butter it's yummy.
    And for breakfast I'll have a chocolate cheesecake smoothie - 1/4 cup ctage cheese, a packet of NSA hot chocolate mix, 5 ice cubes, 1/2 cup milk, a dash of vanilla, blend until smooth.
