How do you jazz up ricotta and cottage cheese?
I like salt and pepper and diced tomatoes on my cottage cheese (hate fruit - blech!!)
My bff had a brilliant idea to blend cottage cheese (2 cups) with a packet of ranch dressing mix instead of using mayo and milk. It's delicious and way better for you!! And you can use it as a dip for veggies or put it on top of salads. Endless possibilities. :)
I'm not a big fan of the ricotta desserts like on the south beach diet; maybe someone else will have some good suggestions for that one! (I'd mix in a little marinara, some fresh chopped basil and pour it over pieces of cooked chicken!)

I add a table spoon of sugar free preserves or jelly it only adds 5 calories it taste like the Knudsen's cottage cheese that has the fruit on the side and you mix it together. Another one I like is to add Pace picante salsa to it don't know the calories on that one. I'm not sure if salsa is something you can eat to early out of surgery. Just try something you already like and mix it in. Cottage cheese is pretty cheap so if you mess it up just throw it out and try a new recipe. I haven't tried to many recipes with ricotta but everyone raves over egg faces ricotta cheese bake. I just remembered one ricotta cheese recipe I did try it was pizza soup. I got it from someone on OH so put it in the search box see what you get. Good Luck!
