strawberry oat pancake slop bowl

lately, i have been obsessed with strawberry oat pancakes. the photo doesn't do it justice lmao

Blend in blender:

- 40g rolled oats 152 calories (6.7g protein, 4g fiber)

- 1 tsp baking powder 

- 1/8 tsp baking soda

- 122g egg whites 67 (13.3p)

- 56g low fat cottage cheese 45 (6.5p)

- 70 g frozen kirkland strawberry 25 (.2p, 1.5f)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract 6

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon 3

- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

- pinch of salt

- 2g monk fruit sweetener 

- sprinkle lemon zest

Topping / extra:

- 30g low fat syrup 10 + 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder 6 (.5p, .9f), stirred together into a chocolate sauce

- 95g banana 85 (1.1p, 2.4f) - weight will obvs depend on the banana

- 70g frozen kirkland strawberry w/ lemon zest 25 (.2p, 1.5f) - when defrosted in fridge overnight, it creates this syrupy pool that is great on pancakes

- half (71g) oikos strawberry yogurt cup 43 (7.1p) - package says it weighs 150g per cup, but oikos is sneaky and the cups usually weigh 140-142g when i measure

- 7g chopped, roasted walnut 49 (1p, .4f)

- 10g trader joe's crispy rice milk choc, chopped 54 (.6p, .2f)

- coffee w/ splenda and splash of almond milk 15 - to drink! not on the pancake (unless you're a freak like that)

I usually make the batter the day before and then just stir it and microwave it "lazy girl pancake" style. with the microwave, the batter stays wet in the middle. so i do 4 mins, take out the dry edges, scrape the wet bits to the edge of the bowl, microwave again 2-3 mins.

~318 calories, 27.2 protein, 6.6 fiber for just the pancakes. ~589 calories, 30.1 protein, 11.1 fiber with all the extras.

I chop everything into really small chunks, including the banana. It's a whole textural journey that takes me roughly 30 minutes to get through. And it tastes amazing, so I just focus entirely on eating it instead of consuming 5 forms of media at once.

Richmond's Barbacoa Mejía Included in New York Times's 41 of the Greatest Mexican Restaurants Across the United States

Here's the blurb:

Omar Mejía comes from a proud family of barbacoyeros, and just like many of his fellow Bay Area construction workers from Mexico, he has many talents. As more construction workers from his native state of Hidalgo arrived in the area, he began to sell barbacoa on the weekends at the Richmond Pulga, a bustling swap meet. Mr. Mejía’s family recipes include tender pit-roasted lamb, delicious consomé and regional salsas such as a salsa verde that includes xoconostle (prickly pear), and chinicuiles (grubs). The best day to go is on Sunday, when he also serves pancita blanca, a rare offal dish, and occasionally, ximbo, a whole spatchcocked chicken wrapped in maguey leaves that’s slathered in adobo and covered with pork rinds and nopales before the package is lowered into the pit. It’s a dish from Actopán, Hidalgo, that’s found a home in the Bay Area. BILL ESPARZA

rare produce worth checking out?

one of the bowl's biggest draws is the rarity of certain produce. which ones have unique / interesting flavors or textures?

this week, i tried the red banana, and it might not have been ripe enough to give off the raspberry notes i heard about. i also tried the manzano banana (also known as an apple banana), and i did detect some apple flavoring.

also tried the flat white peach, and it was merely okay. the inside was white and not super flavorful on the one i procured.

low(ish) fodmap dinner bowl

i put together this low fodmap bowl just by checking a fodmap food chart and throwing the low ones into a slop bowl

not the prettiest image as i only just thought to take a pic while i was well into chowing down 

as i live alone, i usually eat a diet full of high fodmap foods and ride out the consequences in private. but i am spending time at events around other people in the near future, so i figured it might be nice to not worry about stomach issues lol 

the bowl itself was quite tasty! landed me at ~550 calories, 35.2g protein, 15.5g fiber

stove top: spinach (don’t wanna risk cyclospora), bell pepper, can chicken, egg

microwave: already cooked rice / already cooked kabocha squash (prev in oven at 400F for ~35 mins), sweet potato

ingredience:

(66g dry / 165g cooked) long-grain white rice 84 calories (1.8g protein, .2g fiber)

50g over easy egg 72 (6.3p)

28g carrot, julienned 10 (.2p, 1f) 

20g spinach, chopped 5 (.6p, .5f)

30g cherry tomato, diced 6 (.3p, .4f)

35g cucumber, diced 5 (.2p, .2f) 

30g red bell pepper, diced 9 (.3p, .6f)

105g (half) sweet potato, cubed 91 (1.6p, 3.1f)

82g kirkland can chicken 90 (18.6p)

75g cooked kabocha squash, cubed 107 (2.2p, 3.5f) - actually listed as moderately fodmap-y but the heart wants what the heart wants 

28g avocado, smooshed 46 (1p, 2f) - moderately fodmap-y 

salt / pepper / misc seasoning (paprika) 10

soy sauce / hot mustard 15 - moderately fodmap-y oops

ways to cushion toe box?

I got these 8542 made in england boots secondhand, and they are pretty comfy but my toes keep hitting the front.

There's a slight incline with the short heel, so my foot bunches at the front of the toe box while walking.

It's roomy in the back, so I'm wondering if there's a way to ensure my feet don't slide forward with the heel's incline? Or should I just resell and look at another model? I have been eyeing the brown buzz model too.

(I'm also not 100% sure it's the size the seller listed because it's vintage and the size tag is faded.)

Tailor or exchange: under arm gap edition

Got this under arm gap in a non-stretch tencel dress, wondering if I should exchange for a smaller size or just get it tailored?

I'm typically a size S in this brand (32-33" bust / 26-27" waist / 35-36" hip). Went with an M because the non-stretch made me nervous with the stated 26.5" waist, and I like having breathing room.

For reference, here are the dress measurements for S and M:

S: Bust: 36“, Waist: 26.5", Length: 49“

M: Bust: 38“, Waist: 28.5", Length: 49.75“
