Cottage Cheese Dishes. Our government food experts realize the need that all housewives learn to use many foods which have high nutritive value, but have been given but a small place in the family dietary. Cottage cheese is of these wholesome dishes. There are some who have not learned to like this nutritious food, and so it may be given in small doses, camouflaged in such a manner that in a short while even the most obstinate objector Is fully Immune. One way to introduce this into the diet of a biased member of the family is to make Cottage Cheese Dressing. Takff a quarter of a cup of nice creamy cottage cheese and mix it with any good* boiled dressing or a mayonnaise is especially good, using a spoonful of the dressing at a time, mixing wen until thoroughly blended and enough of the dressing is added to cover the flavor of the cheese. This heaped over sliced tomatoes is perfectly delicious, and will never be discovered by mere man as containing anything but legitimate materials ordinarily found in the average salad dressing. \ Cottage Cheese Sausage. Take a cupful each of cottage cheese, a cup of dry bread crumbs or rice or a mixture of both, two tablespoonfuls of butter or sweet fat, a fourth of a cup of chopped pecans, or peanuts, a half teaspoon of powdered sage or poultry dressing, one teaspoon of salt, a tablespoonful of mflk, a third of a teaspoon of soda dissolved in the milk, a tablespoonful of finely minced onion. Cook the onion in the fat until tender but not brown, then mix all the ingredients together and form into balls, roll in bread crumbs and brown in a frying pan in a little hot fat. Serve hot, garnished with parsley. Cottage Cheese for Dessert. Add a little sugar to a cupful of seasoned cheese, make a mound of it and dot with teaspoonfuls of raspberry jo™- Serve with crackers and coffee. Cottage cheese with chopped marlschino cherries Is delectable as sandwich filling.
