Yummy weekend recipe

We all know that protein is an essential part of building muscle. So, now that you are committed and ready to start a healthier lifestyle, here is a recipe to integrate into everyday life!

I wait for cottage cheese to go on sale, buy a TON, make even MORE pancakes, then freeze them. Each morning I pull one out of the freezer, pop it in the toaster, and YUM! Quick and healthy breakfast.

PS: My kids Luuuuuuuuv them!
