First of all when I left my house this morning it was 53 degrees!!!! Too bad I can’t work outside today!
So I tried, I really really tried not to have an egg sammie this morning. I’ve been reading about everyones cottage cheese pancakes and made the batter last night. I had the bright idea to add some baking powder, as this is what makes my regular pancakes so fluffy, so that may have been my fatal error.
![p3060049 I used my baby cast iron skillet, which I sprayed heavily with Pam, but it never came together and stuck to the pan. But then I tasted it, and it was awful!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/p3060049.jpg?w=300)
So if any of you have a tried and true oatmeal cottage cheese recipe, please send it my way!
So of course I had to go to Plan B! 2.2 ounce sesame roll, 1/2 cup egg beaters, baby spinach, .6 ounces muenster = yum!
![p3060052 hello my cheezy friend!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/p3060052.jpg?w=300)
With my last Fage and 2 ounces chopped apple:

So today at lunch I am going to Fresh Market – I love this stores seafood department. I think their produce is ridiculously overpriced, but I don’t like to skimp on the quality of the seafood. Tonight’s dinner should be interesting – another nod to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives: Tempura Ahi Tuna with Avocado Wasabi Sauce! I’ll see what else will go with dinner when I am at lunch.
Morning break is over – See you then!
My favorite are frm the Peanut Butter Boy, I make these all the time- http://www.peanutbutterboy.com/2008/04/banana-pancakes-maple-peanut-butter
I cut it down so that I eat an entire batch by myself: 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 1 banana, 1/4 cup egg whites, a couple pinches of baking powder and a few drops of vanilla extract. Blend so its super smooth and creamy and well- mixed. Plop by the tablespoon onto the griddle, then put some frozen blueberries on the top of each one and flip after a couple minutes. I don’t put syrup or anything on them; the blueberries add nice flavor!
Thank you! I’ll definitely give it another try. I thought I would mix 0% Fage with Sugar Free Syrup for my topping. 😀
mmm Plan B looks so YUMMY!
I love your cheesey concoctions. 🙂
The egg sandwich looks really good!
I’ve seen that happen a lot on the blogosphere – I guess the CC pancakes are delicate little things! I love your Plan B though 🙂
I used to make this pancake (one huge one or a few small ones):
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup egg whites
cinnamon, stevia, vanilla extract, cinnamon
Blend it all in a mini food processor for the batter!
Oh Diners Drive-ins and Dives always inspires me – but usually not in a good way. All that greasy, triple-fried, breaded and huge serving goodness makes me feel like I need to eat with the power of 12 men.
I know, right?! I am hoping that having my oil at the right temp, it won’t be too bad tonight – and tempura is a very light batter.
Biz, I wanted to let you know that I microwaved my eggbeaters in a little bowl and they came out perfectly – so fluffy! My homemade egg McMuffin was wonderful…thanks for your advice!
Glad it worked out Shelley! It’s a quick breakfast too! 😀
Oh wow, whatever you make always turns out beautiful!
I like your plan B much more! 😀
The cottage cheese pancakes are really hard to make. Do not expect regular fluffy pancakes, they’re more chewy and dense but very yummy. i used Kath’s recipe and would suggest mixing the batch up in the food processor first, letting it sit for 5 minutes to rest then adding a little flour. Good Luck on next time!
So sorry about your pancakes! But at least that egg sandwich looks great!
