"Throw a big peach on there like old people do," didn't sound very nice did it? Look at the face of the lady with you (your mother?). I like cottage cheese and peaches. I'm one of the "old people."

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I was teasing my momma because she told me she couldn't stand to eat it like that. I am also old people friend, sorry to offend, just a jab at really myself because I feel even older eating all this cottage cheese. It's a staple on every nursing home menu 🤣

[@dianethompson6804]

My favorite cottage cheese recipe is: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 2 Tblsps peanut butter 1/2 cup of cottage cheese Put cottage cheese in bowl, top with peanut butter,. Put frozen blueberries in a pan and heat them up till they are hot and they make their own sauce. pour hot blueberries over the top of peanut butter! So good and full of protein!!

[@karenferrara]

I do that but don't need to heat the frozen berries, I use the PB powder mix in the cottage cheese, throw in the frozen berries take to work in about two hours those berries are juicy! Mix up it's so peanut butter and jelly ish , and I always use a whole cup of cottage cheese , that's a meal amount. I'm not a snacker. 😅

Oh, I LOVE cottage cheese, especially the large curd cottage cheese! I eat some every day, to help control my type 2 diabetes! My favorite breakfast or snack is about a half cup of cottage cheese mixed with partially thawed frozen blueberries. The berries give off some juice after 30 seconds in the microwave, and mix with the cottage cheese in the most delicious way! Try it! Thank you, Mel. I'm trying all of these recipes.

[@traceyb3231]

I love it too. I have it everyday with pistachios and everything seasoning.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I am so happy to hear that you are in taking good care of your diabetes and that cottage cheese is a great help in doing so! I loved the one with the blueberries and strawberries (and honey) but I love the tip about using the microwave for 30 secs, maybe I don't need that honey after all - thanks!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I have found that the everything seasoning does WONDERS for cottage cheese!

[@sandybowman7140]

Mel, u are simply hilarious! I loved the "well go ahead & call the health dept" comment + I burst out laughing with that one! I love that u featured cottage cheese bc it is so healthy, and women usually need more calcium. A thing to note is that the lower fat, the higher protein, so bc I have issues with protein I usually grab full fat. I always have cottage cheese & sour cream in my frig, but my fav mix in is to use is 2 TBSP CC into scrambled eggs - makes them super fluffy & delish. As a diabetic its important to have different, more complex carbs so its good to look for recipes with the Glycemic Index. Here's how it works - microwaving makes a potato a higher (fast blood sugar uptake) glycemic index starch, baking a potato is the slowest glycemic uptake, just as boiled. Its very interesting. Not all carbs are equal, & the way they get handled can make the most of the blood sugar spikes we get. Veges are great but our muscles & brains & millions of cells really need glucose. I say this bc if theres too few carbs u will find urself dragging & want to collapse on the couch. Diabetics shoot for 40 carbs per meal as a good number. Runners need pastas & high carbs to keep going in marathons. Hope I'm not too "preachy" bc theres some scary things that can happen with fads. I love that u are looking for balance tho, its a wonderful exercise for all of us, & what Jesus taught us to do! Thanks for the fun & laughs sweet friend! Sending u some cool breezes from West Michigan! We have a balmy 60-70° during the day & bundle up 45° at nite - which is perfect in my book! ❤🌻🦋🙋‍♀️💕

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Sandy!!!! I've been worried about you, sweet friend.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

I put a little in my scrambled eggs yesterday and I really liked that, too! And that's very interesting about the potatoes, and I am trying to eat the "right" kind of carbs, too like not my good old potato chips.... and replace those starchy snacks with fresh cut veggies like raw carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, etc which I love too but they take a little time to prep but it's so worth it. And eating more fruit when I want a sweet treat - it's not rocket science - but it just doesn't come natural to a lot of us who have always bought the snacks and treats and still do for the hubby. And I don't think you're preachy at all, I appreciate the info and honey I could never and would never cut out one "type" of food altogether, I don't think that is good for our bodies. I am truly just trying to make better choices, more whole foods vs mostly processed, less processed sugars and more naturally found sugars like in fruits, and the main priority to me is getting moving again and watching my portion sizes when I make "regular" foods like meatloaf, fried potatoes, corn bread, casseroles, etc because I live in a reality where I KNOW I am still going to be cooking and eating these foods. But I can do it in a way that is not so glutenous and find a SUSTAINABLE BALANCED HEALTHY LIFESTYLE that I can maintain and that the good choices I'm working on now will just become second nature to me. I talk about this a little bit in a video that is coming out Thursday night. Thank you so much for your support and all the information you've given. I am glad that you are so well informed and taking care of your diabetes, were you recently diagnosed or have you been learning about this lifestyle for a while now? You are always in my prayers!

[@sandybowman7140]

@@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel Mel, u have such a sweet spirit & open to learning, which God will honor. I've been impressed with how wholesome ur Southern diet is, ur plate always has veges, and the love of Pinto Beans is what my Dr's would praise too. I've been diabetic for about 35 years now, and u get in slumps too bc it can be so strict. I sat in a nutrition symposium at my local hospital & this wholistic MD came from Yale Univ named Dr Katz. He told some of the best tips I always remembered like how our hypothalamus (a gland in our brains) is over stimulated with salt, he said is controls our cravings so if we keep our salt to 1500-2000 mg/day, we have more control with our appetites. It's true, it works! And he said sour & salty is the same sensation on our tongues, so he said add oil & Balsamic vinegar to a salad & it will taste great. Lemon squirted into a glass of water is a great way to start digestive enzymes & clean our livers too - I have to add Splenda tho. OH! U will love Chick-fil-A's diet Lemonade too if u haven't tried it yet. They use real lemons squeezed & they sell a gallon for $12, which seems like a lot but when u look at the % of juice on some other store drinks, it's priced pretty low. I'll be praying for u, sweet friend, it's a wonderful exercise to focus on nutrition! God will reward u & lead u! ❤️

[@sandybowman7140]

@@MrsAlmaTrumble Well I've been worried about u too - I haven't heard from u yet, so I've been assuming u have unpredictable migraines still. I'm counting the days until the 12th, and holding u up in prayer as I do. Wish like everything u could have snagged a cancelation & moved it up sooner. Don't despair when he says he wants another scan, prob an MRI of ur brain. Just say ahead of time u want a couple Valium to relax u bc they put ur head into a halo & deep in the machine. It's definitely something u can get thru, but I never hesitate to tell them to cough up the strong anti-anxiety Rx (& 2 pills isn't gonna be a big deal for a Dr to prescribe)! Valium can be somewhat addictive, but oh so comforting! It feels like ur in lala-land, so just about anything can happen around u! 🤭🤣 ❤️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@sandybowman7140 I emailed you when Mama Mel gave me your email. Ok, I will. I pray he actually wants to help me. So many doctors are like, "Yeah, I'll help you when you get health insurance or when you come up with this amount of money."

[@SimranKaur-oy5oj]

Kind of weird but instead of doing cottage cheese flat bread, I take a little bit of lentils, lentil flour or oats (about 1/4 cup of either of these options) and blend them with cottage cheese to make waffles. I like to use those waffles in place of bread to make sandwiches. It's a lot easier to let the waffle maker do the cooking for you plus you can add veggies to it for a complete meal on its own.

I'm guessing that the cottage cheese with the higher percentage of fat was probably the one that stuck to the parchment paper. The lower fat ones might tend to soak into the parchment, causing it to stick. It's just a guess, I don't really know for sure. Just something to consider. These were great ideas for those of us who like cottage cheese & are looking for lower carb things to eat. Thank you Miss Mama Mel!! 🥰

I don't know what it was, maybe just the Scottie Mayfield effect but it was the best to me!

You're so welcomed, I knew alot of folks might not like this video very much but I've found lots of new ways that have made cottage cheese much more likable for me!

[@sarahlarson1082]

Love your channel. I feel like I'm right in the same room as you chatting! Before my husband retired, he hauled many, many loads of Good Culture cottage cheese from plants in Rockford, Illinois and Fsrmington, Minnesota to a distribution center in Wisconsin, up to 6 loads a week! Hope you have been spared the recent severe storms. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thanks so much for watching and sharing and we had really bad storms come through last night. We had very few problems but the folks just north of my area were hit much worse. Keep them in your prayers please.

I think your cottage cheese flat bread didn’t work because you didn’t put the egg in it. Everyone else that I saw making it used an egg and they had no problem getting it out.

[@anitarexadams7527]

Love this idea. There are a lot of other tasty ways to incorporate cottage cheese but most use a blender. (Pancakes). They are good mixed in scrambled eggs or an egg bake. I never liked cottage cheese but started looking for ways to incorporate it for the calcium (bone density issues) and other health benefits. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@drusillayoung9552]

I think you should have blended the cottage cheese with the eggs and made a batter. All the videos I saw they blended it into a batter.❤

Next time for sure!

Hi Mel have you seen the recipe going around using cottage cheese large tortilla 3 eggs and whatever veg you want. put tortilla in a pie plate crack the eggs into the tortilla, add a 1/3 cup of cottage cheese. mix it up and then top with veg and some cheese. bake it in the oven at 350 for 20-25 mins. looks really good too. I am going to make that dip looked amazing.

Have you seen the chopped Italian salads and sandwiches? Let me give you a couple links to watch that have recipes that are good for those pepper rings, I might now had used them but they would be great added into a number of the recipes in these videos.

I liked that video on cottage cheese. Thanks

[@kathryncunningham8502]

I've been making and enjoying the cottage cheese flatbread for a few weeks now, but I use eight ounces of cottage cheese mixed with two eggs and spread that on my parchment paper to bake. Comes out very well each and every time and is easy to make a wrap.

[@pamelaconrad1498]

I love cottage cheese and eat the Good Culture with blueberries for breakfast almost every morning. I'm excited to try these new ideas for lunch. I'm also a fan of blending it up until smooth to spread on flatbread with zucchini and balsamic glaze. Thanks for all the great content Mel! Love watching your food adventures❤

So glad to see this video, Mel! I had stopped eating cottage cheese for a while and had just decided to add it back in. I going to give Good Culture a try~ Mayfields isn’t available near me. I’m all about shopping at Aldi weekly but do find their cottage cheese to be a little salty. Thanks for the tips and recipes!

Great video! I haven't tried citrate cheese fur a LONG time because I didn't like it last time (30+ years ago). Granny unsuited me to give it a try again.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

It's funny I am finding lots of "new" foods that I like as the years go by, I guess our tastes change as we age LOL

[@jmac9199]

The first item you made to go with the Doritos I would add a package of Starkist jalapeño tuna, and eat with clubhouse cracker. And the 2nd one didn’t you supposed to add egg to before baking?🤔 . And the 3rd one I’m going to try and add egg to the cottage cheese though because I want it less soupy. Thanks for sharing also like all the ones you did at the end.🥰

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Tuna sounds great in that dip and I added some Everything seasoning the second day and it made it even better. I saw the flatbreads made with and without eggs, but I think I will try it with eggs and see if it is easier and turns out better. Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@mymartinez3830]

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Thank you so much for your support, I knew this video might not appeal to everyone but I was surprised myself at how good cottage cheese could taste if just given a chance.

[@magaperson3402]

I really enjoyed your video. It was nice to see a comparison of products. We do most of our shopping at Aldi, and Kroger's for their sales. So, it's good to see other products.

[@InTheKitchenWithMommaMel]

Those are my main two stores, too. And I've found that many times the store brands at both of them are absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for watching, glad you liked this one!

[@user-ps1gw5bl2x]

I have love cottage cheese forever. Thanks for the ideas. The thickeners they're talking about is mainly Carrageenan. That's made from red seaweed. Most people can eat these, but for me I get a very upset digestive system. It keeps dairy items emulsified so we don't need to stir them. I can only get one kind in my area without it, Daisy. I'd love to try Good Culture sometime, but I have to drive over an hour away to buy it. Love your videos.

I have cottage cheese I’d always put cut up cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes and also some pineapple. I’m going to try your recipes.

[@truthseeker6370]

I actually have always liked cottage cheese! I didn't know it was a trending thing now. I live alone so instead of buying the big containers, I have been buying the little 5 oz cottage cheese 2 packs. It's been my 'work breakfast' for the past couple months. Tides me over til lunch. Lots of protein without sugar. I might try it with some veggies and seasonings now- thanks for the video! I'm not keto but love veggies. These cottage cheese ideas would be really good in a big romaine lettuce heart leaf! I would maybe add a little Italian dressing to it.
