I eat it every day. Excellent source of protein for me. Mixed with fresh fruit or with low carb jelly is good.. I put in in my salads. I scoop it with celery sticks. I have used it as a filler for omelettes. It is filling and tastes good to me. Can be high in sidium, but so far no effect on my blood pressure. I use large and small curd, tend to shy away from the low-fat kind ( I think it does not taste quite as good)
God bless,

OMG. I have cottage cheese issues. Right now I have two 1lb tubs in the fridge and I'm the only one in the family that eats it. Unfortunately you may not like my eating habits, mostly I just scoop it out into a bowl and put hot sauce, Sriracha or Indian Pickles on it. I also use it in cooking. The best thing: it has 5 g carbs, 5g fat, and 13 g protein in a 1/2 c serving. Cottage cheese will fill you up and keep you from getting hungry for hours.

I love it too! bsc, tell us more about the pickles. Is there a brand name, and do you have to go to an Indian store to get them?

Add chopped red peppers, cucumbers, green onions, radishes, parsley, celery & some dill. If you put cottage cheese in a blender, you can make it smooth to use for dips & add whatever spices & herbs you like (curry, garlic, pepper). If you like it less watery & firmer, strain it overnight in the refigerator by emptying it into a strainer over a bowl.

I love cottage cheese... with large quantities of pepper.

I also love tuna melts... with large quantities of pepper :-)

I like adding fresh fruit to it - blueberries, blackberries, sliced strawberries, even melon.

I'd never thought of adding sweet fruits to it? Might give this a try..

You can whip the cottage cheese to get out all lumps and use it in place of Ricotta cheese in Italian recipes, as well as in cheesecake, make blue cheese dressing and veggie dips. For instance, add a package of French Onion soup mix (I know it's not the healthiest; you can make your own up) or home made spices to the whipped cottage cheese and use as a dip or for blue cheese dressing, ranch dressings, and other creamy dressings on salads. Whipped cottage cheese with pineapple over half a split bannana dipped in crushed nuts or wheatgerm, topped with some strawberries.

Straight cottage cheese as a chip dip - that is the bomb! I do not know but the salty chips with cottage cheese really taste good. My husband introduced me to it.

Don't knock it unless you try it.
