22 Perfect Daisy Cottage Cheese recipes

A special thanks to Daisy Cottage Cheese  for sponsoring today’s Cottage Cheese Recipes article.

Have you been wondering where we’ve been? I know, shamefully it’s been a bit quiet on our social sites and not as many blog posts lately. That’s due to some illness that has hit our home. Nasty virus the daughter brought home that lasted for weeks and then at the end I ended up with a kidney infection. Oh great! I’m so sick of being sick. Know what I mean? So we all know that a healthy body is less susceptible to illness, so I’ve been working on improving our diet. Cutting down on sugar, increasing healthy protein and eliminating simple carbs to give our body the boost it needs to hopefully get all this illness out of our house!

One of the hard parts is making sure I get enough protein. This is something that I need to work on not only to keep illness at bay but also to help control my blood sugar and to negate my migraines. It’s a plan I’ve been discussing with my doctor the last month. But it’s hard when I don’t like beans or other non-meat sources of protein. Except Cottage Cheese!

Thankfully I do like Cottage Cheese. As this is giving me a new option to include protein into my daily meal and snacks throughout the day. And great news for me is that Daisy Cottage Cheese provides 13g of protein for only 90 calories (for 2% fat cottage cheese). And it contains none of the additives and preservatives found in other leading brands, and is a smart snack on its own or as a healthy substitution in a recipe.

My absolute favorite way to enjoy Daisy Cottage Cheese is in an insanely simple snack that I grew up watching my mom indulge in. It’s so simple! And it’s definitely the easiest way to enjoy a portion of Daisy Cottage Cheese and perfect for getting in the extra protein or healthy snack in the middle of the day.

Peaches and Cottage Cheese recipes

Ingredients:

• Daisy Cottage Cheese
• Honey Canned Peaches

In a bowl portion out your cottage cheese. And then top with 1-2 peaches from our Honey Canned Peaches recipe. I like this one most because the honey naturally sweetens the peaches, but doesn’t overpower the flavor. Which means that the peaches retain more of the mouth watering peach flavor after canning instead of tasting like sugar. Plus it also is a lot less sugar so that helps cut down on my migraines.

See, I told you that it was a super easy snack.

But as I’m working on adding Cottage cheese into my diet more; I wanted to know a lot more options to include it in simple ways. So I took the question to the masses on social media. And I wanted to share with you the best ideas for pairing with Daisy Cottage cheese!
