Cottage Cheese Cobb Salad & Cottage Cheese Flatbread
I loved this salad so much! The combination of the creamy Shamrock Farms Cottage Cheese combined with the avocado and tomato made a natural dressing, so no additional salad dressing is needed. The cottage cheese flatbread is easy to make with only two ingredients, the Shamrock Farms Cottage Cheese and eggs, although I recommend adding additional spices, whatever you desire.

Cottage Cheese Banana Bread
With the neutral flavor profile that Shamrock Farms Cottage Cheese offers, savory and sweet recipes are a snap like this Cottage Cheese Banana Bread. Made with unsweetened apple sauce and bone building cottage cheese, this banana bread is a bit more nutritious than traditional loaf recipes. The recipe does call for some sugar and you can definitely add more to sweeten the taste, but my gal pals and I liked this version a lot. Make mini loaves for holiday gifts, too.
