and thats one of it better uses!
Not in Lasagna, it can’t. That’s just a dirty lie.
“College cheese” is what my dad called it. It’s OK, if you can avoid the 2% or unleaded varieties. “Healthy” eaters (I get it, I really do, but) have ruined many foods.
Here in Iowa we can get the good stuff. A&E (Anderson Erickson) have outstanding dairy products like Sour Cream and their large curd Cottage cheese is tasty. Has “full fat”. I like to put a lot of white pepper on it. Good for filling those odd corners of the stomach when wanting a better snack.
fruit is good
but i like mine with green olives
Can you eat cottage cheese with grits?
Just fyi, I didn’t say anything about lasagna.
I also prefaced my comments extensively with the word, “sometimes”.
I live in the dairy state and know my way around cheese. Personally I don’t substitute cottage cheese for either, but I do know people who do because of gut irritation issues with sour cream, and some because they don’t like the texture of ricotta.
Well just for further information, I never said you did.
But we have to get that out there. It seems like every online recipe website has a certain contingent of people who believe inferior or ersatz ingredients can substitute for what’s called for. “I used fat free mayo instead of butter, and apple sauce instead of sour cream, and it tasted just fine!”
No it didn’t!
I cut tomato in slices, top it with cottage cheese with a dollop of mayonnaise.
It’s a staple at my house. I large large curd, hubby likes small. I like fruit, he likes pepper.
Cottage cheese with a dollop of mayonnaise is delicious - probably a taste I acquired as a kid when eating it in a small salad in Texas cafeterias.
I laughed when I first read that, thinking, "I don't want to have to think!"
Could actually be uncomplicated though, and I might be missing out on an obvious solution. Thanks much.
Agreed.
Is that a plus or a minus?”
Guess it’s a plus - more for me to eat!
Actually, 2 goes along with 3, the comment about one of us losing weight and becoming more healthy. The one who regularly has something else for lunch is on a continuous upward trajectory and frets about her gains.
We typically give our grandkids a breakfast snack of plain yogurt and a fruit cup. When we are out of yogurt, we use cottage cheese - they love both!
I eat cottage cheese with fresh fruit for a quick breakfast.
I live near a Cabot farm, so....Cabot. Breakfast usually consists of eggs and bacon or sausage, but twice a week or so it's cottage cheese and wild blueberries. (the little, natural ones with flavor, not the big frankenberries that taste like water)
The little ones make for better, firmer pies as well.
Cottage cheese scooped on Martins BBQ Waffle Chips… I always liked cottage cheese, but I really dig it with big old red BBQ Waffles.
Hubby eats a concoction of yogurt and cottage cheese every day. I have to leave the room because the smell gags me.
(He feels the same way when I have liver, bacon, and onions. LOL!)
Yeah, i think certain things are more palatable/feasible substitutes than others. Even then, not everyone enjoys them.
Closest for me is full-fat cottage cheese with full-fat sour cream. Amend as desired. I actually like it plain.
The diet stuff is loathsome to me, though.
I have also chopped cheese curd, mixed with heavy cream, let it sit in the fridge 1-2 days to mellow (I think it slightly ferments, too) and added seasoning. It is indulgent.
My mother would use the thicker, full fat variety with sour cream added to top a summer salad. She called it Farmers Chop Suey.
Breakstone always, if you can find it.
