The gross title alone made me click on this post. You knew I would do it, didn't you? Suddenly, I have a craving for Welsh rarebit....

Um...okay. I am not a picky eater...but cottage cheese. There is just something not right with it...and a scoop on the side with cottage cheese meatloaf? oooohh...no. xox

Why do I keep reading these?
It's like a flashback of a train wreck.

(thumbified because I enjoy this like I enjoyed The Ring - peeking out from between my fingers screaming, "NO NO NO!!!"

Actually it is likely to be a tasty treat, similar to Ricotta so appealing too. I may sneak this onto the menu.

That...is so utterly unappealing.

I can't tell where the plate ends and the actual food begins.

Between the bad music and the bad food, are you TRYING to kill me surly girl???

This photo makes the green cheese sandwich loaf look good. Reminds me of my mom's go-to side dish on school nights - a half of a canned peach filled with cottage cheese and a sprinkle of dreid parsley for color. Always serve on a leaf of iceberg.

Eeewwwww.

I love how the plate's decorative fruit/flowers appear to be raised - throwing in a little Braille-type adventure for the fork!

And we get spongy Angel Food Cake for dessert! Go Mommy!

I love that you always include the recipe - as if anyone would consider recreating the mess on the plate. That photo gave me vertigo! What a hoot - thank you. You are surly AND twisted.

And the suggested side, "cottage vegetable scoop" would be??????
(and I'm with Jodi...just have to look! )

Considering the discouraging amount of cottage cheese that I do eat, I'd probably try the meat loaf if it was served to me. But not on that plate.

JK - Why, whatever do you mean?

mamoore- your mother had that Martha Stewart attention to detail touch!

Fab - I asked myself the same thing and am trying to find a recipe for it!

It's the yellowish cast over everything that's making me queasy. but now, I'm in the mood for meatloaf.

Nevermind the food - check out that fantastic plate! Thank you for sharing.

My Ohio-born husband pours MILK over his cottage cheese. Yuk. Seeing this photo DOES make me glad to be a vegetarian...! (That is one busy plate.)

You're right - that plate has a life of its own. If there wasn't food on it, it would fly away, kinda like a UFO does.

Though I must confess, I like the recipe and think I will try it. I like the cottage cheese and shredded carrot elements. And raw potato? What up with that? It's just crazy enough to work.

Will try with ground turkey and floral insanity plate.
