The low-fat and fat-free versions are pretty good - a nice alternative to cottage cheese, usually with a little less sodium. The protein content is not as high as cottage cheese, 'tho.
Please call me Emma....

sounds good to me, esp if reduced fat since you're losing weight. I'd mix it with a wee bit of yellow cheese on occasion and use it for filling something... like a lo carb tortilla or between roasted eggplant slices with some tomato sauce....
How can I still write about food and I'm totally full? LOL~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have stewed fruit like rhubarb or apples, you can mix it with ricotta, let it chill and eat it as a sort of fool or sylabub.
65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs = keto.

I used to love ricotta cheese, with a little cocoa mixed in with splenda and berries on top, tastes like chocolate cheesecake.....yum!!!

recipesource.com will give you an idea on how to use eggplant (non BB recipes, plenty of dirty foods there-- but most explain how to prepare eggplant). Hey if you've never eaten it, just pick something else like zucchini, roast it dry in the oven, then do the ricotta & tomato sauce and spices. Just an idea is all...Originally Posted by beby24
