For this morning’s breakfast, I topped 2 pieces of cottage cheese banana bread with Maple Pecan Spread from Williams-Sonoma, which was on sale. 
I also drank a mug of coffee with chocolate soy milk and agave nectar while blogging earlier this morning.
Gym time! See ya later, gators! Enjoy your Saturday!!!

@Victoria: Nope, you couldn’t taste it all it. It just made the bread really moist.
Another good recipe!

Tina, that bread sounds so good…and look at all those lovely naner chunks! I’m all about mixing the banana with some cheese. One of my favorite snacks is to slit a large banana and fill it with Laughing Cow light cheese, toss a few carob or chocolate chips on top and warm it in the toaster oven. Delightful! Thanks for the recipe!
I have to say, you and I must have the same taste buds because everything you make is exactly what I love to eat!
I hope to try this soon!
Oh, I tried the 45 minute treadmill workout, amazing! I will be writing about how it rocked my socks off soon!
just wanted to say i found your blog the other day and i love it. i linked your sight on my blog so i can stay posted on all your great recipes/tips!
Maple Pecan spread!?! *Swooon*!!!
Great idea!!! I always need extra protein and the cottage cheese is a great way to get it in…plus I bet it keeps the bread supah moist!
I don’t know how you come up with these combos, but it sounds delicious!! And that slice with the pecan spread, looks soooo good!
This looks like a great recipe! I’m so glad I found your blog!
I just made this and OMG still warm from the oven and AMAZING! The cottage cheese threw me off BUT what a nice surprise!
I hope to try more recipes from your website. I stumbled upon you by watching Regis and Kelly today!
I have to say, I was a little hesistant about making this, but figured I would try it anyways just to see. And I was VERY impressed!! It was SO good, even my boyfriend enjoyed it & he is usually the first one to say “is this one of those healthy recipes again..?” It was awesome! And, I even substituted the oil for sugar-free/ all natural applesauce to make it even more healthier
Thanks Tina- you ROCK!:)
I’m having some issues with the “pouring into the pan” part… I doubled the entire recipe, used olive oil instead of canola, slightly less sugar than asked for and a bit more cottage cheese than asked for (yeah, health freak alert… but I guess I am making banana bread, so maybe not
…), but my batter is lumpy and pretty dry. The bananas I used were VERY ripe (basically black, frozen). I’m just going to see how it turns out, but any suggestions for the future? Anything I could add when this happens?
I’ll report back how it turned out anyway.
