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 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...:)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
