Cottage Cheese: snack or breakfast

A loves cottage cheese. I think he is the only one in the house that does and so he usually only gets it if I am planning on making lasagna or something. I try adding things to it so he gets some other food groups(vitamins) and so that it is a bit more fun for him to eat.

Some ways that we have tried his cottage cheese that he absolutely loves:

Cottage cheese with corn syrup.
-Ok there is absolutely no nutritional value in corn syrup at all but my dad and mom introduced him to this delight and he loves it. It does make a nice treat or dessert for him.

Cucumbers cut into slivers and stirred in. A likes to add a bit of pepper too.

Granola, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries (you name that berry, I am pretty sure you can toss it in there), banana slices. (makes a great quick breakfast, snack or healthy dessert).

Canned peaches, pears, pineapple or mandarine oranges cut into smaller pieces with a bit of juice added.

It's a great way to add calcium to the kids' diets as well as a great way to get them to eat fruits and veggies!
