    Fluffy & Healthy Cottage Cheese Pancakes

    I love this recipe because I adore pancakes, but I never choose them because they can usually run up some serious calories. I finally found the perfect recipe that is both healthy and satisfying. This recipe from Mark Bittman uses cottage cheese to add fluffiness and creaminess as well as a healthy dose of protein and calcium. The result is a delicious, tender pancake that is protein-packed and guilt-free! Even if you don’t care for cottage cheese on it’s own, you will still love these pancakes because it all blends together perfectly. Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the pancakes (I always add blueberries). Don’t forget to dust with powdered sugar or top with lite maple syrup. The recipe is below. Enjoy!!

    Healthy Turkey Meatballs

    Think turkey meatballs are bland and lack flavor? Not my recipe. These turkey meatballs are oozing with flavor and will change your mind completely! Overflowing with fresh parsley and garlic and a surprise crunch from toasted pine nuts, these meatballs are healthy and delicious. I made them tonight and served over brown rice with a simple marinara sauce drizzled on top. It’s a new, modern twist on “spaghetti and meatballs” and I guarantee you will love it!
