cottage cheese and oatmeal ideas...

Here's a recipe for a cheesecake made with cottage cheese. It's actually pretty good:

Blueberry Cheesecake

To make the crust, mix these in a large bowl:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
< cup ground flax seeds
< cup raw oat bran
1 oz fat-free cream cheese, warmed in microwave
1/3 cup water

Stir this mixture until it is all the same consistency, then press into a 9-inch pie pan sprayed with Pam, stretching the crust up the sides of the pan.

Put these in blender:
2 cups lowfat cottage cheese
= package (52 g) powdered Jell-O instant pudding, cheesecake flavor
3 oz. fat-free cream cheese
3 scoops strawberry whey protein powder
*1 cup frozen blueberries and 4 tablespoons granulated Splenda (*see option 2 below before adding these at this stage)

Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding just enough water to make the blending possible (about <-= cup).

*Blueberry option 2: to make a fancier cheesecake, thaw the blueberries, then stir the Splenda in with them, and use this as a topping for the cheesecake.

Pour the blender mixture into the crusted pan, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
