A. I have used Cottage Cheese before but to get it to hold together add an extra egg. Also, try to strain the whey(liquid) from it as best you can. This helps to keep it from being as runny. I have also mixed it with equal parts of ricotta. And other times have put it in the blender to get it to a more cremier texture. That works too but still drain the liquid. You can use a paper towel in the bottom of the sieve, and let it set for about an hour, dump it into a work bowl and scrape off the paper towel. Then add the mozzerella, parmesan, parsley, garlic, oregano, basil, eggs and mix it up. Delicious...

What is a good cheap substitute for cottage cheese for preventing muscle catabolism while sleeping?
Q. I've been eating 250g cottage cheese before going to bed as part of a weight gain diet, I like the taste of the stuff but it is just so expensive here ($3.99 for 500g!). So I was wondering if there are any inexpensive alternatives for this bedtime meal?

A. Yes a class of full cream milk, as cheese is only curdled milk so the same minerals, vitamins, proteins in both. Also an over 50micro grams Magnesium with Zinc & Vitamin B6 would help with nerve & muscle repair plus minimise the risk of overworked muscles cramping at rest. Buy generic brand supermarket fullcream milk.(2lt) I worked for 4yrs in milk factory with lots of cheaper price but same quality milk brands being bottled at the same time from same supply tank. Also buy your supplements from supermarket not healthfood or chemist same brands lower prices.

A. Vegan Cottage Cheese: 1/2 lb. extra-firm silken tofu 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dill weed or 2 tablespoon chopped chives Crumble tofu and fold in all other ingredients until combined. Keeps in the fridge for 5 days. Vegan Ricotta: 1/2 pound firm tofu, rinsed and patted dry 2 T minced fresh parsley 1 t dried basil 1/2 t dried oregano 1/2 t salt 1/8 t nutmeg 1/8 t pepper Crumble tofu into a bowl and fold in all other ingredients until everything is evenly distributed. I made the filling with the zucchini calzone recipe here: I haven't tried the cottage "cheese" recipe yet but I have had the ricotta-style filling and it's pretty good.

A. Sorry, tofu's really the way to go here. Bear in mind that it comes out tasting like cottage cheese and not tofu. Mash extra-firm tofu with 1/2 teaspoon salt, a grating of nutmeg and about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Try it with crushed pineapple!

A. Tofu is the closest you can get friend. Tofu is a lot softer though. I have seen a few grocery stores around Chicago selling Indian cottage cheese (paneer). So I guess it should be available in many stores across the US.

A. None of those diets work. If you want to lose weight, stop drinking soda pop, even diet soda pop. Start drinking water. And when you eat your supper, take small portions, and take small bites. This will help make you not feel so hungry. And do a lot of walking, when the weather is nice.

I hate creamy white foods! What can I substitute in recipes that call for them?
Q. Like the question says, I hate creamy white foods. Seriously, the only ones I'll eat are garlic Alfredo sauce, fat-free ranch dressing, and whipped cream. Maybe it's Freudian, I don't know. :) But lots of recipes I want to make call for mayonnaise, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese, or sour cream. What can I substitute for these items? Please no Miracle Whip, plain yogurt, etc, because I won't touch the stuff. Oh, and I don't eat eggs either, but milk is okay. Thanks!

A. how about a bechamel sauce?? also known as a 'white sauce' if you like alfredo, you should like this sauce! simple and delicious! basically you mix up some butter and flour over a medium heat until it is bubbly and gets golden, then put in milk...thn turn down the heat nd add bay leaf and salt/ppper to taste and simmer low/slow for about 20 min. it is good with anything that calls for a creamy white sauce. My grandma maked a baked macaroni and cheese, by boiling noodles, adding white sauce and plenty of cheese, then bake for 40 minutes until cheese is bubbly. hee is a link to a white sauce recipe: good luck!

A. The only way you'd get it out would be to spoon it out, and that would be just messy. The idea of a rim pan, is so that you can take the rim OFF in order to serve it. Better than the bundt pan is to use a formed aluminum foil pan, and once the cheesecake is cooked, cut the side of the pan around the rim with scissors, and peel it down to serve the cheesecake.
