Okay...he made them for breakfast this am...and I got him to write it down.

I'll call them Chubby Hubby's Protein Pancakes...you can call them anything

you wish! =^) I know others would probably like to try them, so I'm sending

the recipe to the whole group.

3 Eggs

1 C cottage cheese

4 oz soft cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla

1 flat teaspoon baking powder

Blend in blender until smooth. Use non-stick pan and cook on low to medium

heat. When finished, turn the good side down, and put about a TBS of cream

cheese or any kind of filling that you would like, then roll them up. Use SF

maple syrup as a topper.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the advice on the Aveeno lotion. Don't think I could hack the

baths either. Think I tried that once...and it WAS yucky, I sure didn't feel

clean. Although I don't have eczema, I understand that is not curable, just

treatable. My skin dryness has come post surgery, so I'm thinking that still

might be the problem. I live in Washington State, the wet side, and I would

think the moisture in the air would be enough to keep my skin hydrated. I

KNOW if I had a darker complexion, my skin would have a white layer over

it..just from the dry skin. It's not so bad that it is cracking...so guess

I'm just whining about the dryness, and the added wrinkles that this brings

on...besides losing all the weight, and turning 60! I will definitely try

the Aveeno...and I will take your advice and NOT move to Alaska..haha! I

have been using Curel to date. Seems to have been the best one I have found

so far.
