What can I do with...cottage cheese?



Recommended Posts

I happen to love cheese, and cottage cheese has come to be one of my go to meal and snack staples.

I like cottage cheese plain, but I also like it topped with something tasty.

I like it with various toppings and add-ins like:

Freshly ground black pepper

Fresh, ripe, sliced Tomato

Fresh herbs (like dill)

Fresh fruit

Cucumber yogurt salad

Greek salad toppings

Kalamata olives

Pickled beets

Dash of Salad Dressing

What do you like to add to your cottage cheese?

unfortunately my pouch reacted violently when I tried cottage cheese - hoping someday to be able to eat it again because I love it.

I also loved it with fruit - especially mandarin oranges - - Have you tried it with chives?

I have made it with fat free marinara and a little shredded chicken and some eggplant as a meal - layered it like a lasagna and it was grand! I do love plain cottage cheese too.

This may sound weird, but I like to put some splenda or truvia, cinnamon and Fiber one Cereal on cottage cheese.< /p>

I like everything you listed.

I like to add pudding into the mix as well as fruit. I have done just the pudding powder as well as actually making the pudding and mixing it together with the cottage cheese.

I also, similar to @@kimby1029, have mixed it with marinara sauce (or any Pasta sauce, except alfredo), topped it with a little cheese (usually parmesan), and enjoyed. I have heated it up slightly and have eaten it cold.

I sometimes add cottage cheese to Protein shakes for more Protein and thickness.

I have seen recipes for cottage cheese pancakes but I have not tried them. I think the recipes for ricotta pancakes sound yummier.

I put a scoop inside half an avocado with salt and pepper. I can only take a few bites of it at one sitting. 7 weeks out. Maybe it will get a little better soon.

Muscle Milk cake batter Protein powder + cottage cheese tastes like cheesecake.

I also love cottage cheese and peaches. It's a snack my mom always made for us kids.

Salt, pepper, and some Picante sauce... I love it like this, and got the idea because I also like it with chopped tomatoes, salt n pepper.

If I want something sweet I will add a little squirt of strawberry Mio and a pack of Stevia.

Cottage cheese is also good topped with Spaghetti Sauce and warmed in the microwave.

Mmmm, love cottage cheese with pineapple and cinnamon with a tiny bit of stevia - the colder the better. It's heaven, close your eyes and it's an ice cream sundae with pineapple

My go-to is also cottage cheese.

My adds:

1. A few raisins and a few chopped walnuts

2. A pkt of Splenda and a diced 1/4 apple

3. A pkt of Splenda and a diced 1/4 peach

4. Some green chili and a bit of shredded cheddar

I forgot to add that I have used it in place of sour cream on a baked potato. I haven't had a baked potato since surgery :/

I also mix my non-fat cottage cheese with real whipped cream and oreo cookie crumbles... naw, I don't really, only in my old fat dreams...:)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
