We always had pancakes the morning after a sleepover, but my mum always cooked them from scratch. People liked staying at our place.
NGL, Krusteaz makes good pancakes. Very simple too, like the package says, just add water.
The entire Krusteaz product line is terrific, especially the gluten-free stuff. They are my favorite!

Only reading your reply did I look at it again and realise that it was not, in fact, a nuclear explosion in a forest.
Load More Replies...Eating delicious food is fun, but it's not always that healthy for us. One survey found that during the pandemic we reverted to our childhood eating habits. People ate comfort foods at least five days a week, with top meals being pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, french fries, and mac and cheese.
It's also becoming harder and harder to eat healthily with so many ultra-processed food options available in the stores. When we're stressed and short on time, they might be the best choice, but they're certainly not our healthiest choice. Still, research shows that ultra-processed foods make up about 60% of the average American diet.
It feels nice to be appreciated. Especially when the dish took 5 hours or more to make.
5 hours to make, 15 minutes to eat. 2-3 days to clean the mess.
Load More Replies...I have a secret recipe of chocolate cake that takes me 10 minutes to make and 20 to bake, and everyone that tasted it fell in love with it. I've been doing that cake since I was 3 years old (I mean back then it was my mother but I helped break the eggs) and it's kind of a secret weapon.
Liking my food confers status. I've got raan in the oven as we speak. 👸
I like it quite a bit. Love it steamed and dressed with olive oil, red pepper flake and some garlic.
Luckily, the new generation is ushering in some new eating habits into their lives via TikTok and Instagram. A recent UK survey showed that Gen Z and the British middle class are becoming more conscious about healthy eating and are doing it by opting for protein-rich foods.
Demand for certain products shows this new shift in people's eating habits. Cottage cheese, for example, had its demand rise by 97% in the last year. Demand for Greek yogurt was also up 56%, and for egg whites – by 27%. People are also buying more lean meats like chicken breast, steak, and tuna. And vegetarians are consuming more protein in their own right, with demand for lentils and chickpeas has risen by 18% and 27%, respectively.
Shetland ponies were selectively bred from the native horses on the Shetland Islands. These little, but sturdy, powerhouses were used to transport heavy loads, and eventually used as "pit ponies" in the coal mines. Now they're mainly kept as companion animals.
That pony needs to go on a diet. Or the owners need to put it on a diet.
See my comment, Philly definitely got a lot of treats! And some sneaky pizza! He even caught the Easter bunny once! :)
Load More Replies...Guys, chill out. This is Philly. Philly was one of the most pampered, loved staffies, along with his brother Dazzy, before he passed last year. He got *alot* of treats. His owners, TheBlueboys on socials, have raised tens of thousands of dollars for rescue doggies over the past few years. This dude got pizza, worry not!!
Looks like the kind of @sshole that gets a kick out of faking the throw. Edit after seeing more info: Unless, of course, this is a silly photo that is only part of the story, where this puppers is loved and properly showered with treats for his good boyness.
I promise it’s not. He got a lot of treats, see my comment.
Load More Replies...Was this comment done simply to show the rest of the world what a smart person you are because I see absolutely no point to it.

She starts by saying that having a healthy relationship with food starts from within. "It requires someone to disconnect from social media and the constant messaging we're receiving to eat this, not that, and tune into your individual body's needs," Shaw explains.
"Dad" joke incoming.....eggspensive. ETA my husband would love to have "eggstra" egg for his salad.
In Canada we don't have expensive eggs, just happy chickens and chill people:)
Same in Scotland, I'd go as far as saying eggs are one of the cheapest food to buy at this point.
Load More Replies...I wish that the price of eggs would go down here! I was gifted a dozen eggs a few days ago, and it felt like I'd won the lottery!!
USA, I know what you're gonna do. Get the signs out and protest like crazy, your government anti-vaccer wants to send us infected birds. War crimes
Not a burger person, but the tomatoes served in sandwiches do not deserve to be called tomatoes and I'll be the first to discard yellow-ish green pieces of cardboard from my food.
Are you old enough to remember how tomatoes tasted? I mean real tomatoes. Now, you have wait for the Farmer's Market for fresh tomatoes, but that treat only lasts for a few months.
Load More Replies...(Your tomato falls out of your burger) You: Ah F**k!
Diet culture in America is still very common. A 2022 survey revealed that 80% of American men and women have been on a diet in the past. And, according to the National Eating Disorder Association, 9% of the American population (28.8 million) will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. "In America, the obsession to be thin and eat a certain way can be very chaotic and dangerous," Elizabeth Shaw, MS RDN CPT, agrees.
ever notice how much these look like teenage mutant ninja turtles? (or is it just me?)
And the worst part is trying to remember which ones are the oldest ones so you make sure to not use them (but still leave them in) 😂
Many of us have been programmed to think that certain foods are either bad or good. Shaw says that such thinking is a recipe for disaster. "I encourage my clients to return to neutralizing food and remembering what it truly is, fuel for the body," she notes. "If our goal is to be happy, healthy, and live a long life, we need to support those goals by feeding our body with the fuel that will provide these things."
I don't mind my kids playing with there food. As long as they eat it the potatoes can be little wobbly cats heading towards the fluffy greens of the broccoli.
I think you mean heretical against the McCheesey Gods

Don't people wash their airfryer after every use? I do, usually before eating the food I've just made!
Still, food isn't just sustenance. Shaw notes that some foods (especially comfort foods) offer us an emotional connection to our past. "[It] can be filled with memories (think your Grandma's Thanksgiving pie, etc.) Whatever it may be, these foods have a place at the table, too," the registered dietician points out. "Working with a trained healthcare professional, like a registered dietitian, is how I recommend people start escaping from the diet mentality and really cultivating that fresh perspective and relationship with food."
Stouffer's says this package of lasagna is for a family of four. I, apparently, am a family of four.
My local supermarket has put baskets and trolleys a couple of aisles in for just this reason! You can swap to a trolley if you underestimated and grab a basket for the same reason 👍🏼
As well as that reason is forgetting to take a coin for the trolley, like I did today. So I get a basket that is way too heavy and over flowing.
In England it's "I won't need a bag" since the government decided we have to pay for them, it makes sense to take one with you, otherwise you have to do that balancing act after paying for the goods.
One part of fostering a healthy relationship with food is understanding that healthy eating doesn't mean cutting out comfort foods entirely. "Life is about enjoyment, and food can feed into this enjoyment of life too. In fact, it's a huge part of it," Elizabeth Shaw explains. "Whether it's a happy hour with friends or cake at your child's birthday, they both have a place in a healthy, balanced diet in moderation."
I would put sealant on it and hang it on the wall. To be interpreted as art or a warning.
Not a word about the smoke-filled kitchen or the blaring smoke alarm.
mine cant even walk around anymore so she asks her aid who lives with her to make treats or have some food set up thats crazy before u even walk thru the door. u show up and its already all laid out. 95 years old and still feels the need to feed everyone in the world

I would like to, but my daughters won't let me. If they're generous, I can bring deviled eggs, that's all.

We sell a dry rub (mainly for pork) at our store whose motto is, "A little butt rub makes everything better." By the way, it is absolutely delicious. The brand is Bad Byron's Butt Rub.
"Do I encourage my clients to eat cake daily? Not necessarily," Shaw says. "But, do I work with them on understanding how a cake slice on a birthday or occasion can perfectly fit into a balanced diet? You bet!" In the end, eating is about balance and moderation. "When you feed your body with good-for-you foods a majority of the time, you have the opportunities to enjoy those special occasion foods too," the registered dietician explains.
Not JUST chicken...grilled chicken with hickory chips for smoking flavor
I had never experienced cockroaches, but that would end when I wound up in a s***k apartment complex. Light didn't dissuade them one bit and, for small creatures, they make a hellava lot noise at night. But the worst was when they dropped from the ceiling onto our bodies while we slept. Living rough was a step up from this place.
Taking the leap and deciding to steer your eating habits in a healthier direction can seem daunting. There's so much information, and so many meals to choose from – how might people navigate it all without feeling overwhelmed? Elizabeth Shaw encourages people to think in terms of simple swaps. "It may be the name of my business, but for good reason," she quips. "They add up, over time, in the long haul. Whether you want to lose weight, age healthfully, or both, incorporating small changes daily can lead to big results in the end."
Well unlike tomato , ketchup doesn’t yeets itself out whenever I take a bite
Thank you! I'd gladly plant my @ss at that table and eat till I pop.
Load More Replies...One of my many pet peeves. No one like to watch shows or movies with me because I see when props are set up wrong or when they're left behind, for example, and my exasperation is audible.
Shaw goes over some of the most popular struggles people go through. "Trying to eat less added sugar but crave chocolate constantly? Then cut that portion in half. Currently eating a 2-ounce bar? Try an ounce of chocolate, then consume it mindfully," she suggests. "This process can really boost mood and provide satisfaction without derailing your efforts."
I love the caption that pops up, when you put the cursor over the image . . .
I hope you soon reach the point where a) you realise you're cute in both pictures, and b) you don't give a monkeys
I imagine myself as being self-confident and in control. In actuality, I'm so overwhelmed by all the variety of the same foods and having to read the labels to weed out processed junk, that if someone so much as brushes up against me, I'm clinging to the ceiling.
Both girls look beautiful. But the girl in the right is probably who I'd rather be hanging out with. I mean she's got Cheetos and Doritos. There's clearly some snacking about to happen at her house
i don't know when i became the girl on the left but i guarantee you i'm sadder now
Unless you are shopping for a man, I don't understand what the problem is.
Really. It's not a fashion show. Just think, 5 minutes after arriving home she'll reach nirvana with that bag of Cheetos.

Just returned from two weeks in Egypt. We took MIL with us. One night she drizzled tzatziki sauce on her salad, thinking it was ranch dressing. Complained that the dressing was too spicy.
Load More Replies...My brother won't eat cake, so insists on pavlova for his birthday. I think my sister would happily swap cake for garlic bread too.
I've always preferred pie instead of cake. Cakes weren't always as moist and rich as they are now, so a delicious homemade pie was always better.
They should arrest those who make plates and bowls like this, it's unconstitutional.
They call it postprandial fatigue, post-lunch dip, or food coma. Lunch is the worst for me. I can barely get out of my own way.
Right! He could put his head on the pillow, and still be 'next to it'.
Load More Replies...Top right looks like the way my mum makes sandwiches, cutting each ingredient so it fits perfectly, with as few gaps as possible, and no overhang. It takes her so much longer (added to the time it takes her to get over distractions) and I say 'don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect' but she has to finish it that way.
They have to have a proper bun to filler ratio. Can't stand when the meat is piled two miles high and you have this thin bun.
The availability of online shopping requires a whole new level of willpower
Actually not all carbs are bad for you, things mainly become unhealthy when no longer in moderation, it's not what you eat but how much of it you eat
where did they get those barbie sized antlers????? i need some!!
Or, as my nan used to say, now go back and peel them peelings.

Crisps, Salt and Vinegar for preference, and Salad Cream.

My first thought was: Don't eat the Insulation! In Ontario, that's fibreglass.
