Cottage Cheese and Blueberry Waffles

Recipe:

1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese

1 egg

1-1/2 cups fat free milk

1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tbs brown sugar

1 tbs canola oil

3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries ( I used frozen)

TO MAKE:

Beat the cottage cheese and egg together until well blended. Add remaining ingredients-except the blueberries- and mix until smooth. Fold in the blueberries. Spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and cook until golden brown.

They are very delicious served with maple syrup, or nonfat yogurt and whipped topping.

Whole wheat and flaxseed bread

This recipes is a spin off of my Mom's homemade bread. SOOOOO GOOD! but I changed things around a little for added fiber.

Whole wheat and flaxseed bread:

1 cup warm water

1 cup fat free milk

3 tbs butter or margarine melted

1 tbs yeast

Combine the four ingredients and let sit until it the yeast foams.

Add:

1tsp salt

1/8 cup ground flaxseed

1/3 cup honey

1 cup whole wheat flour

( if I use all whole wheat flour I find the bread is very very dense. So I alternate between whole wheat and white, using more whole wheat of course!)

1 cup white flour.

Mix until dough can be handled yet slightly, and I say slightly, sticky. Place in large bowl and cover with a towel. Let the dough rise until double in size.

After it has risen, slap the dough down, take it out of the bowel and pinch in half. Roll out dough and shape into loafs. Don't forget to slap the shaped dough again, this helps to activate the yeast again. Place in greased bread pans, cover, and let rise until 1 inch above the pan. Bake at 325 until golden brown. Place on cooling rack and butter the tops.

whole wheat biscuits

whole wheat biscuits:

2 cups whole wheat

4tsp baking powder

1tbs honey

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup canola oil

1 cup buttermilk ( I added more)

Combine ingredients and turn out on floured surface. Knead dough and roll out into 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter ( I just use a cup) and place on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 until tops turn golden brown. After I took them out of the oven I sprayed them with I Can't Believe it's Not butter Spray ( No calories, No Carbs) Serve warm with honey or sugar free jam. We used them for biscuits and gravy. They turned out very nice. My kids had more than one :)
