Cottage cheese recipes

The first recipe I tried was the body builder pancake which turned out very good. I then added some to my whey shakes making them creamier and tastier (kind of like a frozen yogurt drink). I used it in my tuna (instead of mayo) and found that if I heated it up it came out like a tuna melt. Just yesterday I mixed some in with my eggs and made a really great cottage cheese omelet. This stuff is a miracle food. High in protien, cheap and it can be used in so many ways. Does anyone else have suggestions or recipes using the wonder cheese? -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

It is most of all caseine (slow realeasing protein) so cottage cheese is good before bed. WHAT I DO is 1 cup cottage cheese + 1 glass milk + 2 tbsp peanut butter + fruit + honey 3 bread slices with cottage cheese and jellow in morning cottage cheese sandwish + ketchup cheese cake (look for recipe in stickies) you can do everything...

Fan freakin tastic stuff, I used to hate CC but now I look forward to it every night. Another alternative if you dont want all the PB fat is to throw in a tsp of vannila essence, in place of the PB, kinda tastes a little like cheese cake but I still prefer PB.

If you know how to make a tasty bowl of oatmeal regularly, this addition will make it even better. Eastern Mediterranean Style Spread some cottage cheese in a bowl, add chopped cucumbers and tomatoes around the edge, then drizzle olive oil over everything. Top with a can of tuna and enjoy Tortilla picante loca del pollo This one is more of a main dish, so roll-up your sleeves, throw on your chef’s hat, and step up to the kitchen. Slice one grilled chicken breast in strips, then mix the following in a bowl: ½ cup cottage cheese, ½ cup salsa, 1 chopped roma tomato, 2 slices of onion (chopped), and a dash of salt, pepper, and ground cumin. Lay out 2 whole wheat tortillas, and layer them first with the chicken, then the mixture. Wrap them up, and put them in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 400-degrees, or nuke them in a pinch.

Blend for 30 seconds, open the lid, throw in 1 oz. walnuts, and chop for a few seconds. EFA Shake Put these in an electric blender: one scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons whole flax seeds, ½ cup cottage cheese, 1 cup ice, couple of dashes Spenda. Blend on high for about a minute, until all of the flax seeds have been ground. Fruit Shake Take frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a mixture thereof), and mix them in an electric blender with 1 scoop vanilla or strawberry protein powder, 1 cup ice, ½ cup cottage cheese, some Splenda, and ½ cup of nonfat milk (or vanilla soymilk if you’re feeling kinky).

To make this really special, add a couple of drops of vanilla extract and a graham cracker. Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
kakaroto Posts: 893 Joined: 2002/05/09	2004/09/28, 09:56 PM Protein pancakes I have seen so many different recipes for protein pancakes, don't know which one to use. Lately I have been mixing 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 scoop vanilla whey, 3 egg whites, 1/2 vanilla extract for batter. Then I usually add 2 Tbsp of Natty PB and about 1/2 cup of carb/sugar free syrup. Anyone else have any good recipes for protein pancakes?

kimgray Posts: 26 Joined: 2004/07/05	2004/09/30, 06:31 PM I get a packet of Ranch dressing mix (the powdered kind from Hidden Valley) and instead of putting mayo in it I add cottage cheese. I then put it in the blender and it turns out really good! It is sorta thin and liquidy but I guess add more cottage cheese if it's too much for you.

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2006/01/23, 07:14 PM Today i had an emergency meal (my snack recipe didn't cook or cool fast enough...): 1 1/4 c FF cottage cheese mixed with around 3/4c pico de gallo. This made a snack with low carbs and about 32.5g protein, lowfat. It was good, but the amount it made was kind of a big commitment to finish. -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. - Henry David Thoreau

Cottage cheese spinach bake (adapted from supercut cookbook) 1 1/4 c FF cottage cheese 10 oz package frozen spinach 2 slices onion, chopped(about 2 TBSP) 2 tsp parmesan cheese minced garlic to taste 1/8 tsp rosemary 1/4 tsp oregano Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook spinach, garlic and onion in a small pan with a little water until the spinach is thawed and the onion is soft. Squeeze out water, or drain in a seive, then spread in a layer in the bottom of a small baking dish (a personal size gratin or a small square dish, I sprayed mine with cooking spray so it wouldn't stick). Mix cottage cheese with rosemary and oregano, then spread over the spinach. Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbly - tryt 30 minutes. the recipe says 15, but that didn't cut it and i ran out of time, so i stuck it in the fridge yesterday, then re-baked it today for about 45 minutes. It is pretty tasty. -------------- I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. - Henry David Thoreau
