Surprise!

I'm going to be Relief Society president.

This is a picture Yancy took when they announced my call:

I can't believe they're not pancakes

As my quest to avoid diabetes has pushed me to an increasingly vegetable-dominated diet, I have experimented with some pretty weird substitutions to keep my favorite foods on the menu.

Today I share a substitution that I found surprisingly satisfying: oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes. It doesn't incorporate vegetables, but it does cut out all the sugar and flour.

Sitting on that plate, they kind of look like Bubs from homestarrunner.com, don't you think?

Recipe:
1/2 C oatmeal
1/4 C cottage cheese
2 eggs (or equivalent)
dashes of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg

Process in a blender until smooth. Cook the mixture like a regular pancake.
