What are your favorite 3 recipes that you couldn't live without?


Mine are

Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pancakes
3 beaten eggs
1 cup ff cottage cheese
2-3 packets splenda
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder


Optional ingredients
blueberries
banana
splash of vanilla
cinnamon


Grab your handy blender and dump the ingredients in, in order they appear(otherwise the mixture will get all chunky). So egg in first, then start the blender, as it's blending pour in the cottage cheese, then banana if you are using it,then the splenda and spices that you like, then the oatmeal and last the baking powder. Once this is nicely blended, cook as you would regular pancakes.


Cherry Berry Jam

2 cups fresh pitted cherries(about 12 oz)
1 1/2 cups blackberries
1 1/2 cups raspberries
3/4 cups splenda(original recipe calls for sugar)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Combine all ingredients in medium sauce pan over medium-high heat until boils.Reduce heat & simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.

This is great on the pancakes, or you can use as you would jam, and it's core!


Diet Coke Sloppy Joes

1 pound raw extra lean ground beef
1 medium onion
1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup Coca-Cola Diet Coke
2/3 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp dry mustard


Brown beef and onion in a large skillet. Drain well. Stir in remaining ingredients as listed. Mix well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

I, too, would say the diet coke sloppy joes and the cottage cheese pancakes. I'll have to think about number three.

I've got it! It's the corn chip recipe.
