My NUT recommended that I try and get some Cottage cheese into my diet as an alternative, as I am getting bored with the same ole stuff. I have never eaten cottage cheese in my life, so I wasn't real sure. I ate some today straight up and it was ok. I am looking for some ideas on what to do with it. Any suggestions out there?

I started a thread a while back called "What can I do with...cottage cheese?" that has a lot of great suggestions.

I happen to love cottage cheese.

Try it:

Plain.

With crushed black pepper.

With crushed black pepper and fresh tomato.

With fruit.

With salad toppings (I like Kalamata olives).

With some salsa or picante sauce.

Etc., etc.

I use fat free cottage cheese as an ingredient in many sauces. Put it in a blender and use in place of mayo in chicken salad, or cream in soups. It's part of my pancakes.

I love it with a sprinkle of seasoned salt. I also love it with tuna on it, which seems wierd, but really tasty!

With chopped cucumber.

This is divine!

@@Emilie.Lancaster PANCACKES?!?!??! Can you share please? Thanks!

Cottage cheese pancakes are awesome! A bit hard to deal with but delicious! You can pull up the recipe on Pinterest.

I think I eat cottage cheese 3 times a week for lunch. I use 1% at my nuts request. I eat it plain, with a tiny bit of fruit. I have mixed a small amount of cinnamon in it.

I have mixed taco seasoning and a little cream cheese with it, added tomatoes, lettuce. High Protein taco dip. Use different veggies for the chips.

Whatever you like.

Try it with a dollop of sweet chilli sauce - I usually have it on oatcakes or crackers but if you're on blended those are out for the time being

I had some with ground up pepper and some cherry tomatoes last night and it was OK. Not bad, but at least it was a change of pace. I bought some mushrooms list night to try out that recipe. That recipe looks YUM...

Try it again in the summer with ripe, juicy, fresh tomatoes and you might feel differently.

It's all about reprogramming the mind is what I keep telling myself....
