I saw this recipe for pancakes on a fitness website, and decided it was one I wanted to try.    


"If you love pancakes and want a healthy high protein version, try this. 

1/2 cup oats 
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 
4 egg whites 
Dash of vanilla essence 
1/4 tsp nutmeg 
1/4 tsp cinnamon 

Blend contents in a food processor 
Cook as per normal pancakes 

I add berries or have them with xylitol and lemon. 
Around 300 cals and over 30 gms protein 
I've seen this recipe on here before......making sure people get this recipe to enjoy!"

Oatmeal With Cinnamon Apples

I saw this recipe on mfp a few minutes ago.  My husband LOVES apple pancakes.  While this isn't an apple pancake, I look forward to making this for him.


Oatmeal With Cinnamon Apples
1/3Cup Oatmeal (Old Fashioned) --- @ 100 Calories 
1/3 Cup Non Fat Milk -- @ 30 Calories 
A little less than 1/3 Cup Water 
1 small/medium Gala Apple (Cut into small squares) -- @ 80 Calories 
2-3 Tbsp of Splenda Sweetner (to taste) 
1-2 tsp of Cinnamon 

Cook your Oatmeal per the directions. While it is cooking cut up your apple and place the cubes in a bowl and microwave for 2.5 minutes on high - this will cook them and make them tender. Then add your Splenda and Cinnamon to the apples mix well and cook in the microwave for another 20-30 seconds on high. This should result in a nice tender apple in a tasty cinnamon sauce. 

Crepes Anyone?

Annie, this is my not so subtle way of asking, how do you make crepes?
I know one of this blogs followers has the Hungarian recipe for palacsinta, which are like crepes, and absolutely awesome.
Anyone else out there have any answers?

Annie's Great Start Scramble

Jon and I started our 30-day diet. I know, diet is a horrible word, but when you say diet and eat something like this, it's not so bad. I like to make scrambles and throw in a mix of vegetables, meat and cheeses. For this one, I used what vegetables I had, topped it with some Parmesan cheese and salsa and this was enough for both of us. I also whipped up a fruit smoothie with mixed frozen fruit, yogurt and juice (I'll post that recipe later). It's a good way to kick start any day.

(For this recipe, I used only half of the vegetables I cooked so that I will have enough for another scramble.)

Annie's Great Start Scramble
5 eggs
1/4 cup low fat milk
1 medium zucchini
1 red pepper
1 cup torn spinach leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Parmesan
salsa

Combine eggs and milk in a bowl and whisk about 1 minute. Set aside. In a skillet, over medium-high, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Add zucchini, red pepper, spinach leaves and season with pepper only (salt brings out water and the vegetables will be watery when added to the eggs). Saute until the red pepper and zucchini are slightly cooked, but still have some crunch, about 3 minutes. Spray another skillet with cooking spray, and heat on medium. Add eggs. Scramble until just soft and add 1/2 of the vegetables. (Set aside the other 1/2 for another scramble). Stir until well mixed and eggs are completely cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with shredded Parmesan and salsa. Serves 2.

Apple Puffed Pancake

Boy, it is a good thing that Annie and I are on the same team, because I could not compete with her recipe from yesterday. And those pictures! Heavens to Mergatroid, I was looking at those at 11:00 pm last night and got hungry. Don't worry, I waited until breakfast this morning to have a bite. Oooh what a bite.

Apple Puffed Pancake

6 eggs ½ tsp. salt
1½ cups of milk ¼ tsp. cinnamon
1 cup of flour ½ cup of butter
3 Tablespoons of Splenda 2-3 apples, peeled and sliced thin
1 tsp. vanilla 2-3 Tablespoons of Splenda brown sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix eggs, milk, flour, Splenda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Melt butter in 12- inch quiche dish or 9 x 13-inch baking pan in oven. Add apple slices to pan, return to oven until butter sizzles ( don’t brown). Remove dish, pour batter over apples, and sprinkle with brown sugar twin. Bake 20 minutes until puffed and brown.

Notice, there is no paprika in my first recipe post here. Now that is will power!

***I use Splenda because my mom is diabetic. You can use sugar instead.
