Supper is salmon/rice, night time is blank.
I am not a fan of straight cottage cheese.. so if there is anything else you can think of, or a way to spice up the cottage cheese, I would give that a go.
Another question I had is I will be working out at about 4:45 every day and going home immediately to eat my salmon/rice supper, so it will probably be about 30 minutes after my work out that I get this into my system. Do you guys suggest that I drink my protein powder directly after the work out, like within 5 minutes, or should I skip it, get my protein from my meal 30-40 minutes later, and then use that protein powder as my 10 AM or 10 PM snack?

As far as cottage cheese goes, when I have it (which is not that terrible often, but it is quick and easy), I usually add a nut mixture - almonds, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds, walnuts etc. I also enjoy berries in it
Beef jerky is an awesome snack/meal. I would have it more often, but it takes me a bit of time to make so I don't always have it on hand.
I usually just have leftovers from previous meals.
As far as how soon to eat after working out, it would depend on your goals. For fat loss I would wait a couple of hours. For performance, as soon as possible.

Another question I had is, can anyone recommend a good cook book for high protein, low fat foods? I tried doing a search on Amazon and all I get is a lot of weight loss books or post surgery books.

Are you looking for low fat or low carb...? You mention both in the 2 above posts. Although I do not really know of any cook books as I just look online for recipes that look good for whatever meat I am cooking. Dry rubs work great for low fat, but I love fat and do not really cook low fat. I add a lot of fat other ways when I use rubs (avocado, nuts, olive oil, butter, etc.)
Sorry, I guess that really does not answer your question...
