A Few Words…

I love cottage cheese! You too?

Although I call this recipe a pie, it’s not a dessert and certainly not to be confused with an apple, cherry or blueberry pie!

I love cottage cheese with fruit, as a snack, even in an omelet. This is an old recipe that was my mom years ago and I tweaked it a bit. I happen to love this! I make this every so often when I feel like having something light and a dairy meal. It’s yummy, easy to make and keeps nicely in the fridge.

With the holidays and festivities approaching fast, I try to eat healthier during the day. This is a great, light meal idea for breakfast or lunch!

  • 1 tin crushed or tidbits pineapple, in it’s own juice, drained and reserve 1/4 cup

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Using a hand mixer, combine all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until there’s a smooth consistency. If it’s very thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice to the mixture.
