Adding flavor to cottage cheese

[savage1026]

1c cottage cheese, 1-2 tsp vanilla flavoring, 2-3 packets of splenda, 1-2 tbs natty pb mixed with a spoon= breathtakingly delicious slow digesting pre bedtime meal.

be careful with that vanilla stuff bro, it'll give you the runs if you get too much at once. I accidently slip while pouring once, at lets say i wasn't right for 3 days.

Tried a couple of these ideas and they've been great. Has anyone ever seen "large curd" fat free cottage cheese? I can only find small curd fat free, but i really like the large curd more, does it exist in a fat free version?

Hmm, sorry I haven't seen any. Anyone in FL notice that Winn-Dixie's brand non-fat seems sweeter than wal-mart's? Wal-mart's actually seems a little bitter/sour. and that's not out of date cheese, either.

I live in MS but still have Winn-Dixie. I haven't tried thiers since i stopped shopping at WD since their prices are outrageous compared to Wal-Mart. Cept. when they have those buy 1 get 2 free sales. I may have to stop by tom. and pick up some just to try it. I like Wal-Marts though and i don't find it sour....unless its bad..yuck.

I eat the non fat pineapple flavored kind. Non fat tastes just as good or better than 4%. Thats unusual. I could live off of it

okay
here i go again
chef ala go go checking in

get a pad of paper and a pen laddie
this will get messy:

so cottage cheese or in better circles ricotta cheese is basically unflavoured fresh cheese and lots of liquid (whey) not much in the way of hi quality protien but it can be helpful in a diet
first off strain the cheese
set it in a mesh strainer or a colander lined with a coffe filter
either overnight in the frig or for at least ten minutes before you get to adding stuff


foremost that comes to my mind and one of my faves is salsa
then:
*dill (dried or fresh) and lemon pepper (a nice topping for baked salmon will melt and get gooey yum)
*chopped apples, nuts of choice, cinnamon and honey/splenda
*canned tuna, drained
*any fresh herb and lots of black pepper
*any dried fruit
*any nuts just toasted them first
*smoked salmon
*salad shrimp
*sauteed mushrooms and garlic
*any fresh fruit like pineapple or peaches or blueberries just make sure the fruit is ripe
*alittle and i mean alittle thai red curry paste or lots if you like it spicier just experiment first since curry pastes can be salty
*a dash or alot of your fave hot sauce
*mrs. dash
*celery salt
*cajun spice
*alittle beef jerky chopped and added the night before (makes it abit softer and spreads the flavour all through the cheese
*sundried tomato done in the same way as the beef jerky and some italian spices
*italian dressing
*topping your fave salad like a nice caeser
*sour dough croutons and some nice parmesan cheese
*add alittle sharp/old cheddar
*chopped jalapenos
*any toasted seeds....flax, sesame and pumpkin come to mind
*toss it into your fave lo carb pasta dish
*use it to add protien to any other dish just drain it well first
*bran flakes and sweetner
*chopped celery and red onions pinch of sea salt (tossing tuna and hot sauce in with these is good too)

any questions send me a pm
cheers from (finally) warm ottawa way upf reaking north

I stopped buying the FF kind as I've noticed that the FF has more sugar than the 1% (in most cases)
