what is a good way to eat cottage cheese?

Question

what are some good things to add to cottage cheese or what are some good things to add IT to?

Answer 1

mix it 50/50 with yougurt...any flavour, it is so good!! i also put it in with my pasta and sauce and that is pretty yummy too!! also if you like kraft dinner (mac and cheese for you americans) mix some in when you make it and it adds some protien and tastes good too. hope that this helps!!

Answer 2

Make a poached egg, on top of some whole grain toast, and a side of cottage cheese. Salt and pepper and some salsa goes great with it. If you want to eat it alone, add fruit cocktail to the cottage cheese and eat it as a dessert

Answer 3

Aside from eating it with fruit, I have it in a few other ways:

...I eat it on top of salad, especially when I go to salad-buffet places and I don't see a lower fat dressing that I like (and it takes a lot of dressing to cover that big a salad). Those places usually have cottage cheese somewhere.

...it's one layer in my lasagna, along with the noodle, meat sauce, and mozarella layers

... for lunch, I often have one of the small individual containers of Knudsen's lowfat cottage cheese (the nonfat one is not good though!) along with a small individual can of albacore tuna or chicken

...a favorite simple (and "cold") dinner for us is cottage cheese, Rye Krisp crackers ("Seasoned"), V-8 juice, and fresh strips of bell pepper. . .the flavors all go together really well

...recently I noticed that a "stuffed" fish I'd bought (in a package, to bake at home) at Safeway that was particularly good, had cottage cheese, bay shrimp, and a few other things (all ground up) as the stuffing... will definitely try that myself since it was yummy

i think a similar way about the feel ingredient yet I nonetheless like it. Cottage cheese is very sturdy with salsa or with canned peaches. My aunt also makes use of cottage cheese in her lasagne. it truly is how i began eating it.

Answer 5

Marachino cherries, peaches, grapes, any kind of fruit really goes pretty well with cottage cheese. I've also heard yogurt is good with cottage cheese and fruit.

Answer 7

You can eat it with peaches. I add cottage cheese to my dogs food, it gives her a shiny coat. You can use it in lasagna. You can use it in the place of riccota cheese also.

Answer 8

I enjoy chilled pineapple with my cottage cheese. Its not too sweet, just right.

Definitely try it with some (canned) sliced Peaches.

Also try it with some sliced Pineapple, either canned or sliced.

You can also add lettuce and fruit to make a tasty lunchtime salad.
