Nikki McClure has a new journal out called 'Things to Make and Do', a follow up to her beautiful baby journal 'The First 1,000 Days', and it is amazing + inspiring. It reminded me of my friend, Psalms. So I gave her a copy recently, curious to see what she would come up with. I received this email from her Saturday morning:

summer...
i made these cottage cheese pancakes for breakfast this morning. So tasty! Super super good for you! Super protein packed! Thought you might enjoy making them for Els some morning. i used Nancy's low-fat organic cottage cheese + Bob's Red Mill oatmeal with flax seed. i didn't use the honey or the banana, but Shem thought they could have used it... so maybe throw one of those in.

What got me thinking about them is that book you gave me... 'things to make and do' ... i decided to use it as a journal of things i want to make sure i remember to do and make for my kids. My mom used to make cottage cheese pancakes and i had forgotten about them.

So there you go.

i love you!

Cottage Cheese Pancake recipe:
2-3 beaten eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
Honey or a couple of teaspoons of sugar, to taste (a banana will make it naturally sweeter)
1 cup uncooked oatmeal

Optional, highly recommended ingredients:
banana
a sprinkle of cinnamon
a splash of vanilla

Grab your handy blender and dump the ingredients in, in the order they appear (otherwise the mixture will get all chunky). So, eggs in first, then start the blender. As it's blending, pour in the cottage cheese, then the banana if you're using it, then whatever sweeteners and spices you like, then the oatmeal. Once this is nicely blended, cook as you would pancakes, in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. I love these plain or with fruit, but you can put syrup on them too, just like regular pancakes. Via here.

Cottage cheese is on my grocery list this week for sure! Yum!
Thank you Psalms. And thanks for the image too....!
