Cottage Cheese

When I was younger I hated cottage cheese but now I love it. I enjoy it with fresh berries, bananas, apples sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, melons & also in recipes like frittata & noodle kugel (pudding)!

Years ago I worked with a fella who's wife would not eat cottage cheese, he did most of the cooking, grocery shopping, etc., one night he decided to whip up fresh avocado's with cottage cheese and served it with diced tomatoes, his wife thought she was eating guacamole and scarfed it down! I tried it, it's really good!

I love cottage cheese with pineapple. Seems like cottage cheeses these days are so "wet". I prefer a less creamy, drier cottage cheese. Safeway stores eons ago had the perfect cottage but they don't make it anymore.

I like a few sprinkles of Montreal steak seasoning.

LuvmyLab, totally agree with you! I just bought a carton of small curd last night and it was like soup. I prefer not to be able to stuck my cottage cheese through a straw.

I love cottage cheese. I buy the full 4% fat and large curd. I can eat it as is or with fruit or vegetables. My mom used to mix it with sour cream and wide flat egg noodles. Yummy.

I had it yesterday with a scoop of chicken salad, cantaloupe, and hint of salt wheat thins. It makes such a cooling lunch on a warm day.

@MOMMAVik

Likewise, I hated cottage cheese. But my mom would top it with a generous serving of applebutter, and that made it a delicious treat!

For those who are wondering what is applebutter:

Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider or water to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown...

@LuvmyLab (KarenK)

Try Kemps brand.

I prefer the large curd, but even their small curd is far less weepy than ~~most~~ other brands in my area.

Make that ALL other brands...
