Pancakes

Hi all
I'm constantly trying to get my kids to eat a bit of protein at breakfast.  I know that I feel better when I eat some and I know that not everyone is like me. . .but since my kids are kinda like me. . .perhaps they do better at school and just feel less hungry when they eat some protein in the morning.

So I came across a recipe for Cottage Cheese pancakes.  Sounds kinda. . . different.  Every one of my older ducks commented "ewh" when they heard.  BUT they all loved them!  Not only do these have cottage cheese in them, but a ridiculous number of eggs.  Eggs + cottage cheese= a huge amount of protein!  These will be a regular Thursday morning breakfast (everyone has PE on Thursdays!).  They are crepelike and very thin.  Plus, they were made in my blender so I could just pour them on my griddle.  (I may try to throw in some baking powder next time for a bit of rise. . . but I'm not a great baker and don't understand all the science--plus if the kids like them they why mess!)

Cottage Cheese Pancakes
