Something I have not shared is my obsession with cottage cheese. This started when I was young and our house would always have cottage cheese. I found it to be an adequate replacement for sour cream and ate it with cheese quesadillas. My mom would frequently put cottage cheese on top of a baked potato with some Parmesan cheese and crazy salt, occasionally even some sautéed vegetables as well. She had learned this simple way of eating from her college roommate and heartily adopted it, and with good reason. I saw her eating this way and tried it myself and LOVED it! You can imagine my delight upon visiting my then boyfriend (now husband)'s house to find his mom stirring cottage cheese into noodles to make Turos Csusza (pronounced "tour-ish taste-uh"). I had never heard of this dish before. This is a Hungarian dish she grew up with and continued to cook. I was hooked and it has since become a staple in our house. This dish is decadent, but delicious and inexpensive. Also it is one of the easiest to make. I mix it up by adding spices or Parmesan cheese or just eat it as is with salt and pepper. Each way is wonderful and delicious. Turos Csusza
