Friendship Dairies Giveaway {CLOSED}

By 324 Comments

Hey, friends! I know I haven’t really been popping in much on the weekends lately, but I have a fun little giveaway to share with you all that I thought you might enjoy.

So if you’re anything like me, then you probably love yourself some cottage cheese now and then. Typically, my favorite way to eat it is mixed with pumpkin and spices, OR with lots and fresh fruit.

Speaking of which…I need to make myself another one of these Taste of the Tropics Cottage Cheese Bowl STAT.

    I LOVE cottage cheese mixed with fruit and nuts! Another great way to use it is to incorporate it into lasagna (mixed with ricotta) for a punch of protein! :)

    I love cooking light and healthy meals and cottage cheese is an excellent substitute ingredient. One of my favorite low-calorie/low-carb meals using cottage cheese as a substitute is zucchini lasagna, where it's used to replace the ricotta. So good! Here's the recipe I use if anyone wants it: http://www.food.com/recipe/zucchini-lasagna-lasagne-low-carb-749. My boyfriend is from Italy so I'm always nervous about making Italian inspired dishes, but he loved this one! :) I also love to make cheesecake with it! Try this out for dessert after your lasagna dinner and you won't regret it: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/omas-cottage-cheesecake/

    I love cottage cheese but can't mix it with anything sweet! I like it plain or sometimes I'll stir it into polenta with spinach and top the whole thing with tomato sauce.

    i seriously LOVE cottage cheese! my fiance actually thinks i'm a little weird for liking it as much as i do, but i love adding a little chocolate protein powder to it, and "whipping" it and use it to top toast, bagels, rice cakes, crackers, you name it! I've heard amazing things about the Friendship brand, but can't find it in any of my stores! i would really love to be able to try it!

    Lately, I've been enjoying cottage cheese in soup (especially chicken tortilla soup) and on tacos. I'm sort of using it as a replacement for sour cream, but it has a nice cooling effect to spicy dishes. Plus, I love the creaminess that it adds.

    i LOVE it as a salad topping i always toss the salad in it and like to add a dribble of balsamic vinegar! but its also awesome for adding protein to pancakes and smoothies, I've never quite come round to the idea of it with fruit yet but i may have to venture out after all these recommendations!

    My favorite way to enjoy cottage cheese is in a mock manicotti that I make instead of ricotta, the filling is made from cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese. The filling is then mixed with frozen spinach, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. So delicious! It's one of only a few recipes I actually enjoy making after a long day at work.

    When I eat cottage cheese I love to put in pumpkin pie spice, ginger and nutmeg along with chopped walnuts and raisins!! So GOOD!! Sometimes I even like to take plain cottage cheese and put it over a bed of lettuce with sliced banana, cranberries or raisins on top drizzled with honey. Mmmm! : ) I must say I have tried various cottage cheeses and Friendship is by far the best!!

    I love cottage cheese as a light snack in the summer. My fave way to have it is cottage cheese with a teaspoon of light cool whip, pineapple and a sprinkle of sugar free lemon jello powder. You can also try other jello flavors and some people like to throw in a few marshmallows but I try and keep it healthy. So yummy :)

    I could eat cottage cheese every. single. day. And I pretty much do... I LOVE it! Sweet or savory, it's always a winner with me. If I had to pick a favorite I'd go with the most common way I eat it for breakfast. Cottage cheese + any combo of fruit = delicioso.

    plain with a little salt and pepper. Can't get on board with the cc and fruit. I have tried it in pancakes and you couldn't taste it, have tried to whip it with cocoa and PB2, couldn't handle that!
