Cottage Cheese ? Filthy Muck or a Slimmers Friend ?

[chips with everything]

Someone posted something similar yesterday, and I just thought it could help some folk over the weekend. Have it prepared in the fridge for those Picky Moments.

I used to always think of Cottage Cheese as savoury because of the slight saltiness. I hated it. I do still need to squash any excess liquid out of it, but I now love it mixed with grainy French mustard, it makes a great dip for a plate of raw veggies cut into crudités. I love, carrot battons, sprigs of cauli, slices of radish, strips of coloured peppers, celery, spring onions, raw muchrooms, mange tout or sugar snap peas. Plus if you've been good .... maybe a couple of broken up thin multi seeded Ryvita thins or two breadsticks ! Lovely and colourful and filling too.


It took a while for me to think of it as working with fruit, but I love it with melon and a little bit of cinnamon on top. Yum, Melon and cottage cheese are goes onto my shopping list for my week away Happy Easter xx

thanks for that Toots, I'd forgotten about crab sticks. They're not expensive, really low in points and I used to love them chopped up in a mixed salad. Something else for my shopping list

i used to think it was muck too, till i went on cambridge diet, and had it for tea one night, CC with chives and it was delicous..... funny how a no food diet can change your taste buds lol am loving WW now
