Cottage cheese recipes?

Good morning!

I was wondering if anyone had an interesting suggestion for how they eat cottage cheese.  I am in a bit of a food rut, and I think I'd be happy to have cottage cheese, of all things, for every meal of the day!  I like it with pineapple, but pineapple is so fibrous I've been warned not to eat it very often.  I also like it with tomatoes. 

I have not tried cottage cheese pancakes, mainly because I've never really cared for any other kind of pancake so the idea of a pancake doesn't do much for me.  I need to try them though. 

So how do you use it? 

Mock Rice Pudding

1 package SF pudding  add in cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. 1 16oz contanier cottage cheese, 2 small snack size boxes raisins, if desired.

Mix up pudding per directions on box, add spices and let set until it starts to firm. Add in cottage cheese and raisins. Let set overnight and raisins plump up. I've made this with SF vanilla, butterscotch, cheesecake and banana puddings. You can use any flavor you like.

5 eggs, beaten for 3 minutes till lemon colored
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 cups cottage cheese
1 large can (7oz) diced, mild green chiles
1 cup shreddred Jack cheese OR Colby OR Mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Beat remaining ingredients - except sharp cheddar - into eggs until well mixed. Pour into a greased deep dish pie plate and sprinkle sharp cheddar over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until puffy and knife comes out clean and center is firm. Serve warm or cooled. Top, if desired, with avocados, salsa, sour cream, sliced olives, green onions....anything!

Another easy sweet one -

Pistachio fluff

1 container cottage cheese, 2 packages SF pistachio pudding, 1 can crushed pineapple in it's own juice, 2 containers SF cool whip.

Mix together well, and store overnight.

Thanks Jan!  You went above and beyond the call of cottage cheese duty I willd definitely try the mock pudding, I love cinnamon things!

I always loved the fruit and cottage cheese single serving things they make, now I make my own version.  I use FF cottage cheese and SF peach preserves.... any SF jelly/jam/preserve would do.....  Sometimes for a light dinner I use marinara sauce and zap it just until warm.... it's sorta like lasagna....

I lpove using cottage cheese in Mexican dishes... I don't really have any set recipes (I never do, I make em' up as I go).... Anyway... I googled this one & it looked good...

Mexican Cheese Dip

1 large (24 oz) carton low-fat cottage cheese (small curd, preferably)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Quark or low-fat Greek Yogurt
1 bunch green onions (scallions), thinly sliced (about 1 cup.) Include the milder green portion.
1 cup Kraft 2% Shredded Mexican Four Cheese Blend (you can also substitute in fat-free shredded cheddar)
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp fresh, minced garlic
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp white pepper
2 TBS French Onion Dip Mix
1 small jalapeno, seeds removed and finely chopped (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl or electric mixer, combine all ingredients.
2. Mix gently until dip is smooth. 
3. Adjust for salt to taste
4. For best results, refrigerate at least one hour before serving, preferably overnight.

Serve chilled with salsa and baked corn or tortilla chips, like Garden of Eatin’ Bake Corn Chips. This dip can also be served with veggies or used as enchilada filling.
