So i've finally gave in and bought some cottage cheese (don't know why, but i've always associated it with dieting?) and now i'm now sure what yummy foods i can make with it???
So far i've only spread it on whole wheat bread + lettuce + tomato + cold meat and it's suprisingly yummy.... But i'm stuck!!! What ELSE can i do with cottage cheese with regards to lunch/snacks??
TIA!!

Im sure someone asked a while back about different types of cottage cheese eg with pineapple , etc.
I usually just have it with salad, or in sandwhich like you said. Be interesting to see what other people do.......

I just bought some cottage cheese too, but I really like it. My favorite thing to do is cut up tomatoes in it, but for me metformin and tomatoes don't mix. Many people like fruit in their cottage cheese, but I've never been a big fan of that. I like it plain, or like I said with tomatoes!! I've never thought of using it as a sandwich spread before.....

This may sound weird but what I do is take cottage cheese with cut up tomatoes and cucumbers and squeeze lemon on it and sprinkle a little bit it salt on it. Makes a good side to a small sandwhich for lunch. My family thinks I crazy for liking it, but hey gotta try things at least once.
I just posted a recipe on the Breakfast thread for a cottage cheese / oatmeal pancake recipe that is low-fat and low-carb that came from the South Beach Diet cookbook. It is similar to the one here but with eggbeaters and oatmeal in it.
They are yummy.
Cottage cheese pureed in the blender can make a good substitute for mayo or sour cream in things like dips and salad dressing. I also like it mixed into Mexican flavored casseroles to add a creamy texture.
My mom used to put onion and garlic powder, parsley, and whatever else she liked from the spice cupboard on top. I didn't like it when I was a kid, but it's pretty good now. For me she'd put canned fruit (high in carbs, *sigh*) on top. mmm.

I am a big fan of increasing protein while lowering carbs: my sister gave me this recipe which i personally feel sounds disgusting but actually is very palate pleasing
3 egg whites
1/2 cup oatmeal
around 1/3 cup cottage cheese
a touch of vanilla
blend all in a blender, pour into skillet, top with blueberries (etc.) if desired and cook like a pancake...when done, I top with a couple tsp. of syrup mixed with some strawberry preserve.
try it...bet you'll be surprised!
