I have a new addiction....

Well, it's no ice cream or pop.... but I think I am addicted to cottage cheese. Actually, I had never had cottage cheese in my life up until about 2 months ago when a friend forced me to try some. It didn't look too tasty and in Russian culture we have a similar food that's a little dryer. Needless to say, cottage cheese is AMAZING. Just thought I'd share my amusement, lol.

Hi Yelena, well, this IS amusing! And there are numerous nasty addictions, so rest assured the cottage cheese is healthy and high protein,(I only use fat-free). Do you eat it plain? It's excellent with peaches, or pears, or crushed pineapple (mock glorified rice!), and I even mix Yoplait lite yogurt with it; Harvest peach, Blackberry, Mixed berry, and Strawberry are my favorites. Excellent breakfast for choice for me. Oh, use your yogurt of choice, but do try some nummy alternatives if you'd like! Can't wait to meet you sometime! Hugs, Patti

Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.

Hey Patti! Yeah, I eat it plain... just LOVE the taste. I should try it with peaches.... I tried it with strawberries and that was ok... but it got in the way of the amazing cottage cheese taste... lol. :-) Who would have thought?

You are so funny!!!! Cottage cheese -- blahhhhkkkk!!! That and cheese that isn't melted -- I could not eat them before surgery and I still can't eat them. Too bad because I know they are high in protein. I just do other things -- I can do mil****il the cows come home (which would be cheaper than buying it now days) -- well, not too much at a time because of the sugar.....

Yelena - my cottage cheese sister!! I wasn't a huge fan of cottage cheese pre-op, but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it now. Have some everyday in fact. Had some last night for a late dinner with a bit of strawberry yogurt and a strawberry. YUMM-O!!! Cheers to your cottage cheese lady! Sharon

I've always been a cottage cheese fan :) There are so many other things you can do with it too. For example, cottage cheese pancakes/crepes or cottage cheese muffins. Of course, you don't get the same yummy taste, but it's so diverse.

l LOVE cottage cheese too! But I've been eating it everyday since surgery and am trying new things. I'd never been a fan of yogurt since trying plain stuff as a child. Now, I'm kinda liking it. So, replacing some of the cottage cheese with that.

Yelena, Cottage cheese is a great addiction! I love it with a little pepper and sunflower seeds sprinkled on top. It's also good with bacon bits. I tend to add savory items to it rather than fruit or sweet stuff. It's good plain too. I've also added it to a lettuce salad. You can use less dressing because it wets the salad down some. I've also added it to a baked potato to fool myself that it's sour cream and butter! I did that mainly years ago when I was doing Weigh****chers. Now days I can't eat that much baked potato so I just use real butter and sour cream. In any event - enjoy your new addiction - if this is the worst you have, you're doing great!
