*****

Peanut Butter, Strawberry Yogurt (or fruit preserves), and Cottage Cheese

Barbecued potato chips

Very cold dry-ish curd cottage cheese was mixed with lots of freshly minced chives and salt and pepper, and served with small garlic croutons (made from slices of a baguette brushed with garlic butter and toasted).
Or scoop up in Fritos!

Sauerkraut

Cottage cheese
- with cashew butter
- on biscotti with malt vinegar
- on a soft pretzel loaded with salt and hot sauce
- simply with ketchup
- and of course, any salty potato chip, soy chip like product for dipping

Cottage cheese; finely shredded mozzarella cheese & Spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce

Cottage cheese with tuna in oil, also very good with green olives and avacado tomato etc and great on some wholegrain toast

Eat it with onion powder, dijon, cilantro and pepper in it! Then chill it to a very low freezer temperature.

Bacon bits and chopped olives.

With cashews or sunflower seeds sprinkled on it.
Definitely best when eaten with potato chips!

Cottage cheese with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Cottage Cheese + BBQ Krinkle Potato Chips + Ketchup + Hot Sauce.

1. with berries and balsamic
2. on toast with sliced tomato, salt, pepper

Top cottage cheese with cheddar cheese and some Tabasco. Love it with small diced raw veggies inside.
Top on Wheat Thins

Two ways I use cottage cheese regularly:
1.) Add a dollop to eggs before you scramble them and it makes them really creamy and delicious.
2.) Tuna Melts: Can of tuna, onion, capers, relish, mustard, celery seed, celery, and cottage cheese. Put on top of whole wheat English muffins, top with grated cheese and put under the broiler.
The cottage cheese is better than mayonnaise because it melts and is gooier with less fat.

Salt, pepper, and Ritz crackers.

Salad of grape tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, dill, olive oil, salt and pepper and eat it with cottage cheese.

Soy sauce and hot sauce (yes, together!).

Scooped out of the container with bbq potato chips.

Macerated strawberries and whipped cream wrapped with a freshly made crepe.

Ketchup! Or, a mash of runny scrambled eggs, tuna, cottage cheese and black pepper.

Cottage cheese with a ranch-like seasoning mixed in makes a good dip for veggies.
