Jeremiah LOVES pancakes. Every. Single. Day. So, these are a nice addition to my growing collection of different pancake varieties. Packed with protein, I feel like I can send him to preschool with a bit more in his tummy than the regular flour kind. And everyone loves these at our house, so consider doubling the recipe and saving some for having on hand for snacks. They're great with a dollop of jam!
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tblsp. honey
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt.
Directions:
Combine eggs, cottage cheese, vanilla and honey in a bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix all together. (Yes, it will be lumpy because cottage cheese is lumpy. It's OK, carry on as usual!) Pour 1 - 2 Tablespoons on a griddle to cook them. Do NOT try to make these larger in size because you won't be able to flip them. Trust me. :) Cook until they are set and have a dull sheen to them instead of shiny and glossy. Flip them over and cook on the other side. Serve and enjoy!

Stovetop Kettle Corn
This post is for Mom! It originates from Our Best Bites.
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons oil (coconut oil is divine here)
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Kosher salt
Directions:
Heat the oil in a LARGE pot with a tight fitting lid over a medium-high heat. While it's heating, combine the popcorn kernels and sugar together in a bowl. When the oil is hot, pour the sugar and kernels into the oil, give it a quick stir, and promptly put the lid on! Hold the handles and the lid down (use something to protect your hands from the heat) and give the pan a shake from side to side and up and down. Do this every 20 seconds to keep the sugar from burning and to coat the kernels evenly. Continue doing this until you can tell that everything is almost done popping (the popping will slow down considerably as it nears the end). Remove the lid and stir it. Add as much salt as you would like, toss it into a bowl and serve!
Tip: If the kernels don't start popping after a few minutes, try cracking the lid open to release some pressure, then put it back on and continue shaking the pan around. Most likely that will help things along. :)
