If there is one trend I’m holding on to into fall and winter, it’s cottage cheese. Not only do I eat it weekly, but I absolutely love cooking and baking with it! Whether I’m blending it up and replacing Greek yogurt or heavy creamy or adding a scoop into my mac and cheese to add creaminess and protein, I love it and I’m not afraid to show it!

Since I’ve been on this cottage cheese kick for quite some time, I thought I’d round up my favorite FFF cottage cheese recipes that speak fall flavors. Think pumpkin cheesecake and hot fall dips for game day.

If you haven’t tried blending you cottage cheese to replace Greek yogurt or heavy cream, you’re missing out! We came up with a high-protein dough recipe that’s basically 1:1 blended cottage cheese and flour, and we’ve been making so many variations of cinnamon rolls!
