Family Pictures

Two sets of family pictures in one year is definitely a record for us - living through two sets is an even bigger achievement! My gracious, extremely talented sister-in-law, Andrea, offered to take some photos of us. We couldn't pass that up! It's a good thing pictures don't have audio attached because even though everyone looks so blissfully happy, there might have been some "#1, put those sticks down, get over here and stand still!" and maybe even a little, "#2 if you even think about touching that dirt, you're gonna be sorry!" and then there was #3 who just blatantly refused to smile in all but one photo. Oh, the joys of boys. :)

Here's A Recipe For You

For you carb watchers out there, this recipe is a treat! Now, don't start groaning, these really are yummy (even my kids like them). We prefer these pancakes over the normal ones now. So here goes:

Protein Pancakes
4 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup slow cooking oats
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
2 packets stevia (or other sweetener)

Put all ingredients in blender and mix until smooth. Cook just like regular pancakes. I've found if you lower the temperature and cover they turn out better.

We like to top with "I Can't Believe it's Not Butter" Spray, sugar-free syrup (regular butter and syrup for the kids) and cut up strawberries. My mouth is watering just writing this! Let me know what you think.
