Yummy Low Carb Cheese Blintzes to help you with your New Years commitment to healthy eating....

For all the brides who made "lose weight" a New Years resolution, here is another low carb dish. I found this recipe on Kimkins.com. Kimkins is like Adkins PUMPED up. It is stricter advising low carb as well as lower calories and fat intake. When I went on Kimkins in 2007, I lost 95 pounds in less than 6 months. Check out Kimkins for more info.

Meanwhile, try this yummy dish....

Low Carb Cheese Blintzes

Makes 10

Egg White Crepes

10 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon salt
16 teaspoon cinnamon

Cheese Filling

16 oz 2% cottage cheese, drained
4 oz ricotta cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
3 packets Splenda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/16 teaspoon salt
Davinci blueberry sugar free syrup

Place cottage cheese in a mesh strainer sieve inside a large bowl and let drain in the refrigerator overnight. Discard the liquid (whey). Don't skip this step or you'll have watery crepe filling.

Crepes

Treat a heavy 8" nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat on medium low. Pour in 2 tablespoons of egg mixture and tilt to cover bottom of the pan with a thin coating. When the sides start to crisp up, carefully flip for 5 seconds and remove to a warm plate.

Filling

Add drained cottage cheese, ricotta, sour cream, Splenda, vanilla and salt to a blender. Blend until the filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.

Place a crepe on a work surface with cooked side up. Place 1/10 of cheese filling about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the crepe. Fold top edge of the crepe over the filling and fold both sides inward to enclose the cheese. Roll the crepe over to seal the filling in.

Treat nonstick skillet with cooking spray and fry the blintzes on both sides until the filling is hot and brown spots appear on the crepe, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drizzle with blueberry syrup and enjoy!

Tip: Add fresh blueberries to syrup for non-low carbers.

Personally, I am recommitting to my attempt at healthy living. What better time to start than the New Year? If you are planning a wedding and have a beautiful white dress to wear, and want to drop a few pounds, join me. I heave read, do not remember where, that those with support are more likely to stick to a weight loss plan. Whatever you choose to follow, good luck!!!!

Best Wishes,
