I've been very excited about making this for breakfast. It's not bread and it's not eggs. Something different and something I have not eaten for so long. Pancakes!!! I know I'm still on the South Beach Diet and I still cannot have any pastries or use any flour but this recipe only requires as simple as ricotta cheese and eggs! Gluten free and Low carbs! Since I can only have one serving of either fruits or bread, I decided to bring in fruits today instead and see how my body reacts. So I made some strawberry sauce the night before to prepare for today's breakfast. I left it in the fridge overnight so that the next morning I'll have chilled strawberry sauce to use on my hot pancakes. By the way, I only used 4 strawberries for the sauce, that means I still can consume 2 more to make one serving of fruits of the day. YEAH! Not to mention, I can finally use my Winne the Pooh Frying Pan that I bought long time ago at the Night Market! Everything sounds so perfect. I love it~

I can't believe they are so good. Everything with strawberries are delicious, so I'm a little bit bias. I love the pancakes too, even though they are mock pancakes out of cheese and eggs but hey, I'm more than satisfied!
