Monday Menu Make Over

 Time sure seems to be flying by and its Monday again.  Steve loves pancakes,  blueberry is his all time favorite and Cinnamon Stack from our favorite chain runs a close second.  In the old days as I like to call it,  I would have thought plain buttermilk pancakes would be the way to go to save calories and fat but, whether you make them at home our get it at your local chain  an average stack of five will cost you 770 calories not to mention a Carb overload! 
  Anybody can make buttermilk pancakes but I like to change things up especially at breakfast.  You don't have to eat the same old boring breakfast day after day. That's why so many of us get bored and quit.  Today I am making one of my favorites  Blueberry cornmeal lemon scented pancakes it's a mouthful but worth trying especially that blueberry season is here.  Take out the kids or grand kids and pick some.  There are so many wonderful things you can do with them.  Enjoy ~

 Here's what you'll need:

1/2 cup complete pancake mix
1/2 cup cornflour
1/4 low fat cottage cheese
1/4c - 1/2c almond breeze
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
zest of a 1/2 lemon

Mix all the ingredients but, hold a few of the blueberries aside and let the batter rest for five minutes.
Heat up your griddle and lightly spray with Pam.
Portion out the batter to make three pancakes , they look small at first but they get light and fluffy!
Flip and finish till golden, plate add remaining blueberries and sugar free syrup and enjoy!

 These are light and fluffy,  you would never know cottage cheese was in these.
These will only cost you about 290 calories.
