Cottage Cheese

Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche

Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche without crust -- A Pinch of Joy

This crustless Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche is low on the carb scale – like 3 grams of carbs with 12 grams of protein.  Healthy enough for every day and deliciously handsome and tasty enough for company! Ham and Cheese Mini Quiches work very well as a make ahead and freeze till needed dish.  Great for overnight guests!  Breakfast fit for royalty in a flash and no fuss.  Or thaw one or two overnight and warm in the microwave for a quick breakfast before work or heading off to school.  These cozy little quiches also make a nice dinner with a crisp salad on the side.

Cottage Pancakes

Cottage Pancake A Pinch of Joy

‘Wow, this is good’  is the universal verdict when Cottage Pancakes are served.  They are full of protein and other goodness  and are a low carbers dream!   Delicious and healthy equals win-win!   The main ingredients are a little “out of the carton”  (heh, heh!)  without being weird or tasting strange.  They taste just like you expect pancakes to taste.  Only better.  On this recipe I measure the flour when I first start, add the salt and baking powder to the half cup full of flour and set aside until needed.  That way I don’t need to stop and measure but can just keep the mixture light and moving toward the skillet.  I use regular cottage cheese – small curd, large curd doesn’t matter.  Smooth it by pulsing it in the food processor or blender until the lumps are gone.  I also -- and ...
