Have you tried banana egg pancakes? The texture is a little different from actual pancakes but they're super easy and full of protein. The recipe is on this board but it's simple enough to make from scratch! Just mash one banana with one large egg, mix, and cook on the stovetop.
I bet the Italian sausage was excellent in this. I'm going to try that next time. Chicken would be even healthier.
I'm glad you liked it.

I have tried this recipe and my family devoured it. I substituted the 1 lb. Italian-style ground meat for sweet Italian sausage ( DE skinned prior to frying ). I also added some mushrooms to this .
I do not do hamburger meat since my surgery so that is why i used the sausage. Will try it again but with chicken next time.
Good recipe if you are looking for that pizza taste.
this will definitely be on the weekend cooking list!! thank you so much for posting. wish more recipes (easy ones in my case) were shared here.

WooHoo...my wish list is slowly but surely dwindling down. I purchased my much wanted chest freezer and it's due to be delivered on Monday (4/4). I got a great deal at Sam's Club, on sale at $40 off. I bought the Haier 7.1 cu ft chest deep freezer for only $149 including tax. I decided to buy it online so it could/will be delivered to my home (free shipping).

I reconstituted it, and actually, I needed to add a little more water to the dish as it cooked so it wouldn't burn.
I hope you enjoy it.

Carol, did you just use 1/2 cup of the PB2 powder or did you reconstitute it first? I can't wait to try this!!

I had about 3/4 cup red lentils...put them in about 1.5 cups of water, bring to boil, lower to simmer for 15 minutes or so...in the meantime...1/2 onion chopped up, a container of baby bella's chopped up and 1 tbls butter (I'm not into fake fats or oils...) and 1 tsp salt in a skillet, cook on medium while lentils are cooking...about 10 minutes in, add chopped up broccoli to the top of the lentils to steam for the next 5 minutes while lentils are finishing cooking...grate a cup of sharp chedder...i happened to have about a 1/2 cup pecorino too so i used it too...add 1 crushed close of garlic to onion/muchrooms and a pinch of cayenne pepper, cook for a couple of minutes, add 2/3 cup heavy cream. Your 15 minutes is now up on the lentils/broccoli, drain water, pour lentils/broccoli into a baking dish, add the cream of mushroom soup and cheeses...save a little for the top. Mix together, top with remaining cheese, throw in 375 oven for 30 minutes. YUM.
