Blueberry Cottage Pancakes

I can’t decide if these are more blintze than pancake or pancake than blintze. This is my eternal struggle. And it’s starting to hurt my head. For two weeks people I’ve been contemplating this issue. Pain. Full. Good thing these blueberry cottage pancakes are tasty or I would have given up on this issue long ago.
And then along with this struggle comes the feeble attempts to get the repeating loupe of Austin Powers movie quotes out of my head.
Bong and a Blintze? Schmoke and a pancake? Pancake? Blintze? Pancake? The fight goes on. Someone come sit me in the corner or something.
My teenage past-self is absolutely still amused (and grossed out) by those movies (particularly Goldmember) and my current self can’t believe I almost bought the three pack of them at Target when I saw they were on sale for like $10 for all three. I might just have to go back. Maybe. Don’t hate me. I know, trash. My mind is melting. But with all the Downton Abbey high-brow, pinkies-up stuff I watch, ya gotta give me credit and and allowance for some crappy mind numbing form of entertainment. And kinda like TWSS jokes, stuff from Austin Powers will always be funny. Definitely not classy, but funny. And stooopid. I’m coo’ with that.
Also – When was the last time you went out on a school night? Frankly, those days of out on weekday nights are so infrequent, I’m pretty certain that the last time was the last day of my college experience. Nearing on 5 years ago. Really, I’m that lame. And I don’t even have kids!! I’m a hermit.
Anyway, my absolutely stunning blogging friend Heather – had a Girls Night Out shindig for the soon to be release of her stunner of a book and well, like the rebel I am (SIKE), had to go out and party hard to celebrate such a fantastic blogger, inspiration and friend. Woman knows how to pull of some fab coral heels that I contemplated stealing right off her feet. I just adore her. And the whole point of this is – that next week I’m going to be showing off her book AND giveaway a copy of it, signed by Heather herself! You don’t want to miss this. It’s sitting on my night stand as I type, I have literally been flipping through it trying to pick just one recipe to show you. This drills down to the root of my indecisiveness.

I want these now. They look so cozy and I am freezing and it snowing. I want them!
I don’t mind what you call these, I want a big plate right now!
Austin Powers is timeless. I say, go for the box set.
Also, I think this pancake/blintz debate is worth having. Just pass me a stack of 7 or so, and I’ll do some “research”
MEGAN! Oh man, I so wish I had one of these for breakfast right now. They look absolutely amazing! Love all of those blueberries!
Love Austin Powers!! Who does #2 work for? He won’t be the “head” of a major corporation! I could go on for hours. Probably should just go ahead and stuff my face with these bad boys!
These are killin’ me! They look SO scrumptious!
Blintze, pancake, who cares?!! They look so tasty either way!!
We’ve recently learned the pleasures of cottage cheese pancakes. So delicious and you don’t have to feel guilty on account of all the protein you’re getting!
So far, we’ve just tried the Martha Stewart recipe, but I’m pinning this now so we can try it sometime soon. Thank you!
I love the sound of cottage cheese and blueberry pancakes, these look so good!
I had never heard of a blintze until I read your post. Blintze or pancake, I want it in my mouth!
These look like the best blueberry pancakes 🙂 I must make these for my husband!
