cottage cheese

[kim4fitness]

i just purchased some cottage cheese but i dont know how to use it in foods etc. has anyone got any recipes or their favourite meals that they use cottage cheese in? thanks!

[VoxExMachina]

I usually just eat it plain. Or maybe with a little pepper. I have mixed it with some Tabasco / Red-Hot sauce and that wasn't bad. It seems to pretty much pick up the flavor of anything you mix it with.

My wife likes mixing it with Peanut Butter...or using it on a potato instead of sour cream (but she's funny that way).

Does that help?

with fresh berries or granola.

i like to add a cubed apple, some cinnamon and a couple of sugar substitute packets. i will also sometimes break up a few rice cakes over the top.

[LogPressing]

I just add a little pepper and eat it that way too.

It's pretty good with canned peaches too, but that's not on the diet.

Plain, eating a bowl right now before hitting the hay.

[bilnv]

I add 10 grams banana protein powder to mine. I can't stand it plain.

[Jill75]

We mix it with some chopped parsley and some ground pepper and some milk to dilute it to make it as a salad dressing.

[MrNismo]

I eat it as desert quite often. Put some grapes or berries on top and sprinkle on some cinnamon.

[kim4fitness]

Try adding a little all-fruit (no sugar) jam.

[HowieSt]

I like it with some almonds and lately I've been mixing a little peanut butter in with it too and that tastes good to me. It's the first and last thing I eat every day and no complaints so far.

[crupiea]

I usually buy it then put it in the fridge.

Every few days I look at it and think I should eat it but hate the taste.

then I leave it in there until it expires then throw it away.

[elzool]

1 Serving CC
1 Serving Nat PB
1 Serving Almond Butter
1 Serving Flax Oil
1 Serving Sugar Free Strawberry Jam

yeah, thats my routine

[hochspeyer]

Some chopped walnuts and chives are quite tasty.

[Nikonguy]

One thing I have found is that cottage cheese varies a great deal from brand to and some of the most expensive brand names taste like crap to me.

Lately I like Winn Dixie regular large curd with a half cup of frozen (almost thawed) mixed berries or with a teaspoon of olive oil based salad dressing.

[jellodirt]

I eat it plain or mix it in things. It goes good with about anything like spaghetti, beans/rice, eggs, etc...

[X-ring]

Add 1/2 pkg of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing w/ some chopped onion. Makes a good dip for baked taters, warm french bread. Yes, I know it's not healthy!!!!!

[dmvx4]

Cottage cheese (rinsed) with fresh fruit (especially berries, cherries) and some oats for breakfast. Or thrown into a blender with my protein shake!

Same.


I'll also dice up some canned pineapple.
