How do you like your cottage cheese?

I thinking of having cottage cheese for dinner tonight... what do you like to mix in yours and what percent milkfat?

I love Nancy's Lowfat Organic Cultured Cottage Cheese! If you love cottage cheese, you should try it. It has a great tangy flavour. I spread mine on sourdough toast and then top it with a layer of salsa.

Also I love cc on a baked potato with maybe just a little pesto mixed in.

Guess I like to go for a savoury taste with cottage cheese. I often thinking of using fruit (we usually had it with canned fruit when I was a kid) but I usually never follow thru.

no fat cottage cheese

sweet: equal, cinnamon, berries of any kind

savory: cucumbers and raddishes and scallions
I am glad I read this. I never thought of using cottage cheese in many of the ways listed.
I know this sounds awful, but I love cottage cheese mixed with baked beans.

I like mine in the garbage... not a fan. But husband likes it w/tomatoes... : p
yuck
I didn't see this here yet - my absolute favorite way is with diced onions mixed in and black pepper.  Sounds weird, but it's a real winner (if you like onions)!  Growing up, I ate it sweet with honey.
I like it plain. Any % is delicious to me, but I prefer 2%.
my favorite is Friendship's 1 %.   I will never go back to any other kind. It doesn't taste as milky as the other ones.

This AM fat free salted, with lots of black pepper - and a piece of fresh grilled tuna and a slice of toasted Dave's Killer Bread (powerseed).

I know this may sound strange, but it's absolutely delicious:
For dinner, whole grain, or regular pasta with cottage cheese, either 2% or 1% milk fat, large curd, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Or, even add tomato sauce to it too!
I'm weird about cottage cheese, I will only eat the 1% store brand. I hate brands such as breakstone and light and lively. They taste odd to me.
My favorite brand is the Michigan and it's hard to find.

Last year in a cute grocery store w/homemade items for sale I bought a container of cottage cheese that had the following in it:

Mayo
Peppers
onions
cucumbers
Just a few flecks of carrot.
You don't need to do all these veggies just onion would work.

All diced very small.  It was super good!  Very "FRESH" tasting.

i have half a cup or a full cup every night with some honey and sliced up banana!

it's soooo good, good for you, and i highly recommend it :)

i loveeeeee cottage cheese =]

I eat 1% cottage cheese with fruit.

Here are some of my favorite combonations:

Half a cantaloupe, seeds scooped out, filled with 1/2 cup cottage cheese, topped with raisins, sliced strawberries, and granola

Half a Pita filled with cottage cheese, strawberry preserves, and sliced strawberries

A container of strawberry yogurt topped with cottage cheese, fresh berries, and granola - in a seperate cup or else it will overflow

mmm cottage cheese.....

my favorite:

fat-free cottage cheese with 1 sliced banana, cinnamon, & a nice drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup!

To die for!!!

or just frozen, thawed fruit. :)
