New Cottage Cheese Ideas

What is your current favorite way to eat cottage cheese (if you do actually eat it, of course)?

My favorite today:

1/2 cup no-salt-added 1% cottage cheese

1/3 cup light canned sweet cherries (Comstock pie filling)

With a graham cracker crumbled in, it would make a good diet substitute for cherry cheesecake, but I think it's good just the way it is, too. :-)

I LOVE half a cup, or even 1/4 cup, cottage cheese with 1 tbsp of peanut butter.

If you stir it up really really well, it's very tasty =)  It's also good if you freeze it for a bit and make it kinda like ice cream!

I love cottage cheese with Mrs. Dash Seasoning and veggies :]

I love cottage cheese, lately I've been eating it with toast and a fried egg. YUM!

I like cottage cheese with basalmic vinegar! (but this might be weird. I love vinegar)

Ouh, that sounds yummy!

Personally I love it with just pepper!
When I'm craving something sweet I'll mix it with defrosted blueberries and some splenda.

I tried no-salt-added CC today and I didn't like it.

My favorite combo is 1/2 cup regular CC + 1-2 tsp apple butter + 1 tbsp sunflower seeds. I love this.

or CC mixed with grapes or mangoes. Those are my favorite fruits with CC.

soo good!! I literally have this every morning :)

try it with hot sauce :)

my favorite is this kind called crystal, but its amazing with tabasco or tapatio & taco bell sauce too :D

I love cottage cheese with chunky applesauce, and one of my favorite salads combines cottage cheese, baby spinach, and mandarin oranges.

mmm cottage cheese with tomato slices and pepper

mmm i love the too makemusique. the best way to eat cc if you as kme!

I like cottage cheese with tomatoes and spinach.  When I have time, I make enchiladas with spinach and cottage cheese filling.

mmm cottage cheese on a jascket potato! ultimate comfort food :)

I like cottage cheese mixed with walnuts, flax seeds and pesto basil sauce.

I had no idea there were so many ways to eat cottage cheese!

I always have it with pineapple (good way to eat canned pineapple if you don't have any fresh!... as in when I'm away at school eating in the dorm cafeterias!)

I've never tried it with any other items, I love it just the way it is. Apparently it's also good to eat before you go to bed, especially if you've been working on building muscle.

I like it with cinnamon.  I like it on English muffins with cinnamon, too. 

All of these ideas are really great.  I'll definitely try a few of these.  Thanks for starting this post.

these are great ideas! im glad you started this post because i was growing sick of my ways of eating cottage cheese, but it is sooo good for you.

i (used to) love it with splenda and cinnamon. it's also really good in scrambled eggs. cut up grape tomatoes is yummy, or freeze dried chives mixed in is also good. i recently stocked up on the Breakstones cottage cheese doubles which are really good, but a little high in sugar for me so i try not to overdo it with them.

if you actually do a google for cottage cheese recipes and look at bodybuilding sites, some of the recipes are pretty good.

speaking of that i have another one! hollow out a pepper, make a mixture of cottage cheese, tomatoes, ground beef/boca meat/chicken/whatever your meat of choice is, onions, pepper, oregano, rice, and bake it. its just a stuffed pepper, with cottage cheese. sooooooooooooooooooooo good

I mix with sugar free jello and a bit of fat free cool whip. Great dessert.

Also I mix with Dannon Light n' Fit yogurt. This is very similar to cheese cake.

Cottage cheese is also great on salads as your protein source and is creamy like Ranch but way less calories.

Also, on a baked potato...again, a great source of protein and makes this combo a complete meal.

I like to tomato cuke and onion all diced up and put the cc on top its nice if its really a hot day and you dont feel like making a big lunch.
