Please, fill in the blank: Cottage cheese and ________ is *delicious!*

[MomOfOneFunOne]

or at least "pretty good."

 

I like cc, tomatoes, and salt. I'd like to branch out a bit, though.;)

 

What do you like?

[Melissa in St Louis]

with a touch of sugar/splenda. It is my breakfast each day!:D

[Diann]

I love pineapple with my cottage cheese.

 

Diann

[RegGuheert]

A1 steak sauce.

 

But I readily admit everyone in the family does not agree. :ack2:

[Tammy]

Cottage cheese is really disgusting, LOL!

[Melissa B]

on top of baked potatoes

mixed with peaches

with any salad (on the side, not mixed in)

with tuna (on the side again)

by itself

[Blueridge]

It's great in oatmeal with some cinnamon and brown sugar, and adds protein, too.

[Dobela]

I love cottage cheese in lasagna :D

 

I also like it with any fruit, or with cheese, on top of a lettuce salad instead of dressings, and just all by itself.

[Carol in Cal.]

like a hefty, whole grain pumpernickel or rye. If you use non fat cottage cheese, it tastes a little chalky that way, so I put snipped fresh chives or sliced scallion tops on it as well.

 

My Dad used to like a leaf of iceberg lettuce with a glob of cottage cheese on it, with canned peaches on top, then covered with French dressing (the reddish one). I hate that beyond my ability to say. But he really liked it.

[Nestof3]

Canned pears or pineapple is my favorite, but I find it sweet enough without adding anything. Just make sure you buy the ones with no added sugar.

 

I also add cottage cheese to my homemade bread.

[Impish]

Strawberry jam mixed in.

[VanessaS]

Cottage cheese is great with salsa and baked tortilla chips. Mmmmm...

 

And I also use it in lasagna.

[gardening momma]

I've had it with diced onions and pepper. It was pretty good. I occasionally add the pepper, but not onion.

[Miss Peregrine]

Lay's potato chips. With pepper. Yum.

[Tiff in TX]

Pineapple - it goes great together, very yummy :thumbup1:

[happi duck]

apple sauce or apple butter

[kiana]

Peaches, pears, strawberries, grapes

[~Kirsten~]

I love using it as a "dip" for pretzel logs. :001_smile::001_smile:

[Brigitte]

Brown sugar or honey.

[Luanne]

... mandarine oranges

[Chris in VA]

Almonds.

And also plain with lots and lots of pepper, on saltines.

[tadbhoward]

Watermelon! Sounds nasty but it is really good.

[mazakaal]

cottage cheese with sliced bananas and honey - I used to give my toddlers cottage cheese and bananas and I'd honey to it for myself. Yum.

 

I also use cottage cheese in a macaroni and cheese recipe.

[Jen in PA]

I like it best with grated apple and cinnamon, or with tomato slices and fresh basil as an omelet filling, or with some hot sauce and veggies for dipping.

[LNC]

My son with autism is a hugely picky eater. You would think poptarts right? No! He loves cottage cheese mixed with a tablespoon of salsa (has to be Aldi brands for the right texture) and Aldi tortilla chips. This is his dessert. Cracks us up!!

[elise1mds]

Cottage cheese with...

 

...Tuna and crackers

...pretty much any sort of canned fruit, drained

...Jello

...cinnamon, eggplant, and beef in a moussaka

...peanut butter! (OK, not really... that was one of my pregnancy cravings with my daughter, though)

[teamturner]

Applesauce!

[DawnM]

I would not eat it in a train

I would not eat it in a plane

I will not eat it here or there

I will not eat it ANYWHERE!

[RoughCollie]

I'll answer for DH, since I don't like cottage cheese:

 

Cottage cheese with thousand island dressing poured over it.

[K in MI]

... mandarine oranges

 

:iagree:

[Krista in LA]

We used to eat it with a little sugar sprinkled on top. I also like it a lot with apple butter, pineapple, or peaches on top. :tongue_smilie:

[Mekanamom]

Plain old apple slices with cottage cheese are super yummy!

 

Cottage cheese can actually be turned into the yummiest pancakes ever. I will try to find that recipe. My DH likes it so much, he has memorized it and makes it for us on the weekends.

[lynn]

mandarin oranges, pine apple, apple sauce. I really like cottage cheese on a bagel or toast or mixed in a salad.

[Diane in CO]

I like cottage cheese with sliced bananas, walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon....YUM!

[mommybee]

Cottage cheese is great with salsa and baked tortilla chips. Mmmmm...

 

And I also use it in lasagna.

 

 

I love to eat mine with spicy tortilla chips!!

 

Also in lasagna or just plain.

 

Can't stand cheese with fruit though....ugh!!!

[FlockOfSillies]

Cottage cheese is best put to use in chicken burritos, along with copious amounts of Monterey Jack.

[HFClassicalAcademy]

I love pineapple with my cottage cheese.

 

Diann

 

:iagree:

 

Liz in NC

[BalanceSeeker]

We love it...

 

in oatmeal

in protein pancakes

on sweet potatoes

in lasagne

with cantaloupe and almond butter (my favorite treat)

mixed with tuna instead of mayo

 

I buy a huge tub of it each week and it goes fast!

[Leah]

:iagree:

 

Liz in NC

 

So, so good with pineapple! I also like it with cashews. :)

[blessedwith7]

Cottage Cheese on Saltines or mixed with oyster crackers

 

Cottage Cheese with Peaches

[*********]

Cottage cheese with canned peaches. YUM. My go-to lunch. Not fresh peaches, unfortunately. Those have a entirely different taste and texture. It's gotta be canned (in juice) peaches. SOOOOOO good. :001_smile:

[lisasaysto]

Strawberry jam mixed in.

 

 

:iagree:Yup, this is my favorite. Though I just put a dollop of jam on top instead of mixing it.

 

And I like it plain on Saltine crackers, too. Or with a drizzle of honey.

[TeacherZee]

...with slightly frozen raspberries

 

...in my smoothies for that extra protein kick

 

...mexican lasagne

[Laurie]

This mixture is supposed to have anti-cancer properties. I use a mini food processor to make a mixture of 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1 Tablespoon of flaxseed oil. (Blend this well so there's no oiliness...and that's definitely a good thing for people like me who aren't very fond of flax oil!) Then I stir in things like canned crushed pineapple or tropical fruit, applesauce with cinnamon, or some fresh strawberries.

(If you want to read about why this mixture is supposed to be healthy you can do a search using "Johanna Budwig" or "Budwig protocol". )

[luna]

Dh has cottage cheese, applesauce and freshly ground flax seed almost every day! My girls loved it when they were toddlers, not so much now!

[Word Nerd]

I like to spoon a little cottage cheese on my salad.

[JennC]

I like with:

noodles and gravy

hot potato and sausage soup (just put a scoop on top)

shredded cheddar and sunflower seeds

Think of what it mixed into at your favorite salad bar - you know, when you load up your plate the first time through;)

I use it to cool down hot dishes and soups for my kids

 

now if the person who said she adds it to bread dough would share, that sounds good

or at least "pretty good."

 

I like cc, tomatoes, and salt. I'd like to branch out a bit, though.;)

 

What do you like?

[Desert Rat]

Pears.

[cougarmom4]

With canned fruit

As a topping on a baked potato (especially with tomatoes, too)

In one of two salads that I make:

"Gooey Salad' (I'm sure there's a real name somewhere, but that's what my kids call it): 1 large container cottage cheese, 1 small packet of orange jello (can be sugar free), 1 can mandarin oranges, a few dollops of whip cream. Yummy. You can also make it with lime jello & canned pineapple chunks.

 

Also, cottage cheese with chopped apples, celery, & crushed pineapple, and some pepper. It's a nice light side dish!

[beezus]

cayenne pepper

 

I also like to put cottage cheese in my homemade macaroni and cheese. We prefer it to ricotta cheese in lasagna too.
