The Mistake that Worked

I tried to make German Cheese Blintzes this morning for breakfast, and they just wouldn't work for me. So, I did what I normally do when I don't want to waste ingredients... I added more ingredients and tried something different. This ended up being a baked oatmeal dish, and it turned out great! Jonas said, "This mistake turned out to be one of our favorite breakfasts!" Time will tell if that is really true.

1 container cottage cheese (I used fat free)
3 eggs
6 T flour (I used wheat)
1 T sugar
1 pinch salt
2 pinches baking soda
3 drops of vinegar
2 cups of oatmeal (regular, not quick)

Mix together, spray 9X13 pan, spread out, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Sprinkle brown sugar on top. Yum.

Lemonade Biscuits/Cookies

This is easy and yummy.

4 cups Bisquik (I used my homemade version)
1/2 cup powdered lemonade
1 cup milk (or so, moistened to your liking)

Mix. Dump by spoonfuls on baking sheet, or you could make muffins out of them too.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Enjoy!

I am totally in to salads. . .


Lately I have been really in to salads. I think it is because I love to load them up with basically every good thing I can think of- it is delicious, and I have the benefit of knowing I am still eating healthy! For example - today, I had a salad with:
romaine lettuce and baby spinach
roasted cashews
shredded carrots
mango
roast chicken
raspberries
blackberries
peas
cucumber
tomato
grapes
extra sharp cheddar cheese
Wow- delicious! So savory, no dressing was needed.
