make cottage cheese better...

tarab21 Posts: 508 Joined: 2003/03/31	2003/05/17, 06:56 PM I tried something today I saw in a magazine: adding ranch dressing mix powder to cottage cheese. It was pretty good, no extra cals. don't add too much though or it will be too strong. just thought i'd share

I have a package of that vegetable soup spice powder that you use to season home made vegetable soup. Wonder what some of that would taste like in cottage cheese? I grew up eating cottage cheese with tomatoes, so that's how I usually eat it. This can't be much different. Thanks for the tip Tara!! -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

Just sprinkle the jello on it straight from the box. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

Sandysford, the idea is appreciated but ick I don't think cottage cheese and fruit mix..although I know a lot of people do! A great idea for those with strange tastes....lol...just kidding. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try... thanks!

This is a "No cottage cheese" zone. Ways to improve the taste of cottage cheese...? Like I always say, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoonful of it over a large pepperoni pizza. Then, and only then, just maybe...

gwindalyn Posts: 434 Joined: 2003/01/15	2003/05/20, 04:25 PM Tried the salsa today! It was good! And it gave me an idea! I make this chicken stuff that is basically onion, jalapeno, and cooked shredded chicken breast seasoned with course ground pepper and cumin and cooked in a tad of olive oil untilt he onion and pepper is nice and tender. I'm going to try adding cottage cheese to that instead of fat free cheese/sour cream! LOL! Worst that can happen is it becomes dog food. :p Dahayz that splenda thing sort of reminds me of cheese cake... -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything.

	2004/02/26, 10:26 AM I mix mine with sunflower seeds and or almonds. BB1 and Robert told me that cottage cheese congeals in the stomach and give a slow release source of protein overnight. As hard as it is for me to get 215 to 300 grams of protein a day I can't afford not to eat it. LOL -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie
