So this is less of a recipe and more of a, “Hey, didn’t I see that on the box at some point?”
I am fairly certain that everyone in the good ole USA has seen this before. If you haven’t then email cause we need to be friends. I rarely meet people as behind the times as me.
Could. Not. Be. Simpler. (Want more amazing appetizers? I’ve got you covered!)
Snacks
I am sure you could add 101 different things to this, and by all means, please share so that I can break out of the mold a bit OK? My family will thank you. But every afternoon when the kids get home from school I am struggling to come up with easy snacks that everyone likes, that they can make themselves, and that isn’t loaded with sugar. This one fits the bill!
How to Make This Easy Snack
Now, these steps are long and complicated so please be sure to tell me if I left anything out!
Grab cracker.
Add cottage cheese.
Sprinkle with season salt.
Eat.
Gotta tell ya. Even though this is the easiest and cheapest snack ever, we love it. We can polish off two sleeves of crackers and a container on cottage cheese in one sitting. Not to mention the Lawry’s… did you see the size of that container???
Variations for Snacks
You can add jam, jelly, fresh fruit (we love pears), prunes, almost anything to this simple snack. Some folks use Mrs. Dash to cut down on salt, some use low fat cottage cheese, some get the low-sodium crackers and create an almost salt-free snack! I can say with full confidence that whatever combination you choose, you will be delighted with this easy treat.

Are what are some ways you and your family customize it?
I don’t really love cottage cheese, but this post has me saying “I have to try that!” We are huge Lawry’s fans in our house.
However, I must go with the whole peanut butter or cheese on Ritz crackers. 🙂
Never heard of this! Sounds pretty amazing, though. Kind of reminds me of one of my favorite cheese balls: cream cheese, can of crushed pineapple, some crushed pecans and lawry’s. Spread on Ritz and repeat uncontrollably.
Never heard of it, either! We usually stick to cheese and peanut butter on our Ritz’s. 🙂
Huge fans of of Lawry’s, though. I use it on a lot of different things.
i just as behind as you! yet another reason we were destined to be friends!
This lovely treat has been around my local grocery store aisles on “sample day” for 20+ years. yum!
I wonder if thats where I saw it??? 🙂
I’m with you! Never ever heard of it… but it does seem like a genius idea!
Looks interesting..and super easy for sure. I’ll have to try it next time I have some cottage cheese 🙂
Never had it! Look! I am more behind the times than you!
This would not be good in your recipe, but have you ever had cottage cheese and pineapple tidbits combined?
Yum.
My husband would throw cottage cheese right back in my face.
He is such a picky pants.
