Painting Mother's Day with only 135 Calories

This is a deviation from gorgeously painted rooms and I confess there are shades of the Pioneer Woman (but why should she have the corner on the 'famous blogger' market?)  The Painter made this blueberry blintz for me. Ok, we made it together - and after only two tries! Take a look:

I can't take credit for the recipe, that would be the Slimgenics cookbook. But here it is:

1/4 C. blueberries (I used frozen/unsweetened)
2 oz. 1% cottage cheese (that's relatively a 1/4 cup)
1 large egg (whisked) Don't put it in with the cottage cheese, don't do it...
1 packet Equal
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Wash blueberries and sweeten them with 1/2 packet Equal. Whip cottage cheese and the other 1/2 pack Equal in blender with a few drops of skim milk, set aside. Heat a non-stick fry pan with PAM. Pour the whipped egg in the pan to make a nice round pancake. Cook for 1 minute, medium heat. Then pour the blueberries in a line down the center of the egg circle. Cover and cook 2 minutes or until egg is set. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Slide the pancake on a plate. Fill with sweetened whipped cottage cheese, reserving about a tablespoon. Fold over both edges. Top with remaining cottage cheese and a few berries.

Buon appetito! (I'm giving the Italians credit; I have no idea why.) With a great cup of coffee, of course. Dang that was good!

  1. Oh! Fantabulous, we'll be making this soon. Hope you had a great Mother's day, we love you lots and are SO PROUD of your dedicated eating - even on Mother's Day!!! I've been losing my dieting energy and you've re-energized my quest. :)

  2. Julie,

    I was curious as to who the Painter's Wife is. Then I saw it is you. I knew Betty wouldn't use a word like dicey. The kitchen is beautiful.

    I have been painting chairs for the past two days. I have 5 chairs done, I thought, I should put my new chairs as a line on my blog. I looked at your instruction and said to myself, I need to be fresh to start this.

    Thanks for all you did.

    Betty
