things to do when you're not studying: try new things in the kitchen
this is the most recent of the things i have done in the past 12 hours, none of which have been read. mostly i have screwed around looking for a place in DC, even tho you can't really do that w/o looking and the realtor is really in charge of that and well, it's all fruitless except that it gets you all excited and then you realize that you live 2 hours away and should have gone and looked at places today, only you didn't and you really don't even know how to look for a place and well, that is very frustrating and now you've just upset yourself more when really you were just supposed to be telling the world about cottage cheese pancakes.
also, i have spent many hours screwing around on online picture sites, all of which just eat my pictures and are very frustrating and will not just make me a damned picture book to save my life and now i am going to be upset about that too, when all i meant to do was tell the world about cottage cheese pancakes.
anyways, on to the cottage cheese pancakes, which only took up 10 minutes of my life and produced far more fruitful results than all things previously mentioned that were not catching up on a semester's worth of reading.
so jared's men's health recently had an article about healthier breakfast options and one of them was cottage cheese pancakes. i mean, cottage cheese pancakes! i know that not everyone is a fan of cottage cheese, but i say to all of those people--you are wrong. I LOVE COTTAGE CHEESE! AND I LOVE CARBOHYDRATES! so what could be better than taking cottage cheese and making it into a carbohydrate?!?!?!
well it turns out, not much. i love them! they aren't really like pancakes. but they are like creamy pancakes made of cottage cheese and i found them to be tasty and delicious. and easy! even i couldn't screw them up! and they only have 8 carbs per pancake and 97 calories.
anyways, i decided that i would share the recipe with all of you, in case you are interested in trying them out and avoiding reading all that reading you have not done all semester. or if you are some kind of loser, i suppose that you could just make them after "finals" are over. or as a "study break." i don't need to take those b/c i am not studying. anyways, courtesy of the april 2007 edition of men's health and their resident chef matt goulding, here is the recipe--
1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional) (but tasty and delicious!)
in a large bowl, stirl t/g the cheese, eggs, butter, and milk. add the flour, baking powder, sugar, sale and nutmeg, and blend lightly until just mixed. grease a griddle with cooking spray and place over medium heat. put a large scoop of batter on the griddle and use the back of a spoon to spread it out evenly. the pancake is ready to flip when you begin to see small air bubbles form, about 3-4 minutes. flip and cook for another minute or two. makes about 12 4-inch pancakes.
