Cottage cheese is a versatile ingredient
When you think of cottage cheese, do you immediately think of dieting? Well, think again.
Cottage cheese has been the go-to food for those who want to slim down, but please don’t limit this versatile cheese to just being a tummy trimmer.
It is used here in a dessert, an omelet, a loaf of bread and in a potato salad. I think you’ll be surprised.
So try at least one of these and tinker with it as you see fit. Fine-tuning recipes is just another part of being a cook. I hope you enjoy one of these.
