Orange Cottage Cheese

I just stirred up our favorite summer side dish!

A large carton of cottage cheese, a small package of orange flavored, sugar-free jello, a large can of mandarine oranges (drained)

This is really a sweet, cool treat - either for dessert or just a pretty, lo calorie side dish!!

I keep thinking I'll try it with different flavors - like lime jello with canned pears in lite syrup... or ?? You think of some combos for me!!

WOW thanks for the brain push.  I had forgotten about this dish and now have another oh yum for this summer.  Thanks again.

Oh this sounds very weird.  Could you please explain what you do with the jello powder?  Do you add boiling water as usual?  Do you just add it to the cottage cheese?  I'm sorry, but I'm confused.

Oh Yumm-O! What about pineapple jell-O, chunked pineapple, and coconut? I think I'll try this too!

What about strawberry jello with oranges!? or vice versa!?  Or strawberry with ... kiwi?  Hmmm, my mom used to put fruit in jello, and I'm just wondering which ones would work with the cottage cheese. 

I'm gonna have to try some of this!  Thanx!

I'm still confused.

Is this just adding fruit to cottage cheese, or are you making jello and adding fruit and cottage cheese?
