Getting out of a rut....or cheesecake pancakes.

[zoewmu]

I have developed a nice breakfast routine. I eat cottage cheese and raspberries on the days I work and bacon and eggs on the days I don't. It's been fine. But, I woke up this morning to make bacon and pancakes for everyone else in my house and decided that I wasn't in the mood for eggs.

So, I perused the threads here and found this recipe. Cheesecake Pancakes Recipe I halved the recipe, but still used two eggs. It may have been a mistake but the pancakes, with butter on them, still tasted like pancakes. I ate them with fresh raspberries and it was a yummy change.

It was also a lot of work. I tend not to make things like this because I'm the only one eating them and it would be easier to fry an egg. But, for a change of pace, it was nice. Sometimes I find that eating foods that resemble carb laden foods trigger me to eat because my brain doesn't separate between low carb and high carb. It's why I avoid dessert. So far I'm just pleasantly full.

The moral of the story is: if you're getting bored, try something new!

Those look great, I'm going to try them once I get some flax meal. Good find! Boredom is the surest way to a off plan session at the trough.

PS Moral: You are worth the effort to stay on track.

Ah...I agree, it is nice once in a while to do that. I feel the same way as you do...most days it is easiest to just do eggs! And I can find things like this to be a problem with portion control, so I agree it is a good idea to halve the recipe.
