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?

This is divine!

I made this today and it was pretty good. I made a couple of them with cheddar cheese (I ran out of cottage cheese) and stuck them under the broiler for a couple minutes and those turned out pretty good also.

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

Don't miss the spiritual gifts here. The adventure of seeking is literally transformative but short lived. Don't miss the joy of trying this new path.

I really like it just plain, but it's great with fruit (my favorites are peaches, pineapple, or mandarin oranges). For a non-sweet version a little cracked pepper is great, or I also put it on top of cucumber slices as sort of a "healthy nachos" kind of thing. Probably one of my favorite things to do is add it as I'm scrambling eggs. I'll put one egg and a tablespoon or so of cottage cheese into a pan and stir like crazy. As the egg scrambles the cottage cheese mixes in and melts just a bit. Sounds weird, I know, but it's a great way to keep your eggs moist (especially important in the early post op phases) but also adds some extra protein! [emoji1]

with grilled chicken. with lima Beans. with peaches. with apple slices. with ham. with ranch dressing mix. with raw veg.

I LOVE cottage cheese. but, some brands are better than others. so if one is just kinda eh - try a different brand.

my favorite is the 365 at whole foods, low fat but Kroger is an acceptable alternative when I can't get over to the whole foods store.

^^this^^ All brands are not the same. I generally only eat Daisy brand or Nancy's (ingredients I can pronounce and know that they are).

This morning, my cottage cheese is topped with unsweetened applesauce, a little stevia and PB2.
