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’d add a halfed grape cherry tomato or pineapple tidbit 🙂 I’m gonna do this soon! 😋
Love this using cottage cheese with chives.
I don’t like Ritz crackers so I don’t know the recipe either! lol And my
DH doesn’t like Cottage Cheese!
Ritz now come in several varieties….I use the Honey with ricotta and fruit or honey. Or vegetable with with ricotta and tomatoes, onions and s&p …great easy snacks.. .
Pepper would be great with this. I love it sprinkled on top of cottage cheese.
I have never heard of or eaten anything that resembles this recipe😁🥴
I think they would be good with paprika on top.
NOW GRAB A “TOSTITOS SCOOP” PUT SOME COTTAGE CHEESE IN IT AND TOP IT WITH SALSA OR PICO DE GALLO (HOMEMADE IS BEST)
AWESOME
I never heard of this before either. Does it matter if you use large curd or small curd cottage cheese? ( I don’t buy cottage cheese often) Lawreys was my mother’s secret ingredient that made her a great cook. So good!
I’ve used both size curds, just use whatever you prefer! 🙂
I live with freak who doesn’t like cottage cheese. I know… insane! Wondering if I could replace the cottage cheese with ricotta.
I’m sure you could! I haven’t tried it but it sounds delish!
