Cottage cheese (ingredient, healthier, tomatoes, mild)

Salt, pepper, sour cream, and chives!

Silly premise.. they still sell it in every store, don't they?

There are a lot more varieties of yogurt available, but that's always been true since I was a child and probably before.

I buy yogurt occasionally for convenience factor, but I don't like it all that much. I do like cottage cheese with carrots or tomato slices, or as a baked potato topping.

No cottage cheese for me.

I'm more of a yogurt person, but once in a great while I buy cottage cheese. I like it with chopped nuts, fruit, honey for a sort of parfait. Or in a salad. I buy the full fat Daisy brand with very few ingredients on the label.

My mother used to serve it when I was a kid growing up. The ONLY time I buy it now is to put it into Lasagna. I like using cottage cheese MUCH better than that tasteless ricotta that most recipes call for.

Yoghurt and cottaqe cheese are in the fridge here. SO refuses to eat either one so there is more for me.

I really like large curd, full fat cottage cheese. My favorite brand is Breakstone. Friendship is good too. I also use cottage cheese in cooking, especially in noodle casseroles and cottage cheese loaves.

There has been a decline in cottage cheese eating. Often, in the 70s it was served with a tomato slice and some iceburg lettuce as a "Diet Plate". Sometimes they included a hamburger patty with no roll. Anyone remember that? I think it was part of some Fad Diet of the day.

I also like Farmer Cheese and Pot Cheese. I prefer all of them as savory dishes, I prefer fruit with sour cream, Especially bananas.

DH usually has a carton going in the fridge. I like it once in awhile. I like it with ketchup and mayo, he likes it plain.

Cottage cheese fell by the wayside as I was escaping my mother's cooking. Her staple of an iceburg lettuce leaf with a scoop of cottage cheese and a pineapple ring was so ubiquitous, I never wanted it again.

But I like it, so....guess I never think to buy it. Not that it's down here, anyway! Dairy in general is pretty pathetic

I like cottage cheese well enough.


I am liking yogurt less and less the more they add sugar to it. I suspect there is a lot less sugar in ice cream than in yogurt.
