First of all, I love that you all are doing videos now. They're so fun!
Second: spritz your measuring spoon with a little oil, and the honey will just slide on out -- or, if you're making a recipe that includes oil and honey, measure the oil first so you can use what's left in the measuring spoon to get the honey to slide out.

All good ideas for using cottage cheese. I also add 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese to my scrambled egg for added protein. Works for me! Thanks for sharing.

I keep meaning to start using CC. This looks incredibly simple. Thank you!

I added cottage cheese to the smoothie I made yesterday. Mango banana with some OJ to thin it out and for flavor. May try it with my blueberry banana smoothie too

I used to make a chocolate mousse with cottage cheese (this reminds me that I'm due to make it again!). I use 16 oz of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 envelope of unflavored gelatin dissolved in a few warm T. of water, and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sweetener (sugar, splenda, etc). Put it all in a blender till smooth, then portion between 4 cups. I usually looked for a low sodium cottage cheese, so it wouldn't taste too salty.

I love cottage cheese and have some recipes I keep coming back to that my granny taught me. Mainly involving ham and cheese, but she didn't have a blender so I'm not going to judge her too harshly.
