I have better results using ricotta cheese instead of cottage when trying to create Desserts. Here is an example that i LOVE just change the berries to anything in season.

I am SO there with you on just digging in! Or with peaches...Yummy!

I am just so stuck in a rutt and eat so much cottage cheese everyday that I am looking for something a bit different. And since my printer isn't working, coping down a bunch of new recipes by hand seems tedious. What did we do before computers?! Haaa!!!:biggrin:

I throw cottage cheese in my blender with mango, berries or bananas. Add one serving of dry (1/4 box) SF Jello pudding. The cheesecake, banana cream pie or chocolate are great. Add some ice and little FF milk and you have a great treat.

That sounds really good!!:biggrin:

Go take a look at theworldaccordingtoeggface.com she has a lot of good recipes. She uses ricotta cheese more but I think there are some cottage cheese recipes.

I sometimes mix mine with yogurt. It adds some texture to the yogurt and some sweetness to the cottage cheese. Of course, I can eat it straight from the container, too!

South Beach Diet has a number of interesting dessert recipes using ricotta cheese. You could run cottage cheese through a blender and probably come up with something similar in texture.

They have one recipe for a chocolate ricotta cream thing that uses powdered Hershey's baking chocolate, a bit of espresso powder, some vanilla extract, and a package of artifical sweetener like Splenda. Whip it all up together, top with mini chocolate chips if you want, and chill in the fridge or freezer for a bit. If you close your eyes, it takes sort of like tiramisu. Actually, it's pretty good. :)

Same as above, I use Ricotta but you can prob do the blender thing with the cottage cheese -

I take a good scoop of part skim ricotta and half a can of pumpkin in my bullet blender with two packs of splenda - it is AWESOME. Tastes like a cross between pumpkin mousse and cheesecake.

Mix cottage chees with SF pistachio pudding mix, some choped nuts ( if you can eat them) and some fruit. Yummie. SOrry, I didn't notice what stage of eating you are currently in. Also blending it with yogurt and fruits is good. ALso, you can mix t with milk or soy milks, instant coffee and and Protein Powder.< /p>

I also do the pumpkin mixed with cottage cheese (not ricotta, haven't tried that yet), some splenda and cinnamon. Delicious.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
