Uses for cottage cheese

I used to have a recipe for Dill Bread, a quick bread, that used a cup or so of cottage cheese. I no longer have it. It was really good.

last month's post said she didn't like that bread. Janet US

How about lasagna? My mother used cottage cheese rather than ricotta. It works.

I bet there is something in lasagna that she can't eat.

But it's a good idea, not much difference in the two cheeses.

Agree.

First heard about cottage cheese in lasagne from the wildly popular diet book, Calories Don't Count, from the 60s. Lotta ppl made it, as it was a very popular book. I was jesta kid, but I remember eating lotsa 'cottage cheese' lasagne's and they were always good.

I later went into a 'lasagne stage', using lotsa diferent ricottas, so I know of what I speak. ;)

nb

I don't know where Mom got the recipe but she definitely wasn't on a diet. More likely, cottage cheese was the closest thing she could find at the commissary in the 1960's. :) She'd have asked her sister, who was an excellent cook, and been told of course you can substitute cottage cheese.

Or make your own ricotta. It is simple enough.

Would be nice if you'd explain.... or you'd be too embarrassed to say how many foreskins you skinned back to collect a cup. LOL

You still chew on forskins like bubble gum. LOL
