I'll post the link to the "receipt" since it is so off my diet that I fear that my blood sugar levels will go off-scale just typing it.

How to Make a Schadenfreude Pie | Whatever

Warning: tons of carbs per itty-bitty slice.

Another "receipt" (although I might have posted it before in this thread... )

Puff Pancake

1/2 c. milk
2 eggs
3 T. sugar or sugar substitute
1/8 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. flour
2 T. butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Mix the first five ingredients thoroughly. Melt butter in a 9" pan (I use a skillet) and pour the batter into pan. Bake for 18 minutes.

I have used pumpkin pie spice blend instead of cinnamon for another "sweet" pancake, and I've used chili powder, garam masala or Chinese five spice powder for a savory (reducing the sugar/"sugar" to 1 T.)

Homemade Waffles

2 c. self-rising flour (can use roughly the same amount of all-purpose/plain flour mixed with 1 T. baking powder and 1 t. salt)
1 c. milk (can use buttermilk/sour milk if desired)
3 eggs
2 t. sugar or sugar substitute
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

Preheat waffle iron.
Mix everything thoroughly. Pour on hot iron and cook until waffle reaches desired doneness (I use a soup ladle to measure out the batter.) Serve.

You can add chopped nuts, cocoa, cheese, crisped bacon, minced ham, herbs and/or spices if desired

I do the baby carrots with one seasoning, Brussels sprouts in garlic oil, pineapple with cayenne, potatoes with black pepper, and onions coated in Italian seasoning....layer them in starting with taters ending with pineapple each by its cooking time about every five - seven minutes something else goes in...mirroring the time it takes to.cut and season... Make an avacado, cranberry and walnut salad, and whip up avacodo and cocoa and honey into a pudding...during the last 10 minutes while the pineapples are cooking and that be my whole meal, pull that chocolate pudding out for desert and life is good.

I finished off an "experiment"/WiP: macaroni and cheese with the addition of salsa, chopped onion and chopped bell pepper.

Zesty Macaroni and Cheese
7 oz. macaroni or pasta
1 large onion, chopped
2 large bell peppers, chopped
2 T. oil
2 t. plain/all-purpose flour
dash black pepper
dash garlic powder
salt to taste
1/2 c. lowfat milk
1 c. grated Colby jack cheese
1/2 c. salsa (or to taste)

Cook pasta in 2 qts. water until al dente, adding the onion and bell peppers towards the end.
Heat oil; add flour and seasonings, stir constantly. Slowly add milk, stir until thickened, then add cheese. Fold/stir in salsa, then cooked pasta mixture. Eat.

I just picked up a container of gochu-jang, which is a hot pepper paste from Korea. Now I've got to find some "receipts" that call for it...

This seems tasty although it would cause a lot of gas . . .

Never had problems with gas, myself. Can't say the same for everyone, though.

I'm not a vegan myself, just don't eat meat except during Passover (and only chicken outside of my apartment.)

This was posted on my LiveJournal feed (haven't tried them yet myself):

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes

¾ cup cold water or milk
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 T grated lemon zest (just the yellow part of the skin)
1 T vegetable oil
1 T white sugar
1 large egg
⅛ t vanilla extract
1 T melted butter
1 T lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour
2 T self-rising flour

Directions:

Whisk water and baking soda together in a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, lemon zest, vegetables oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth, breaking up lumps of cheese as you mix. Add melted butter, lemon juice, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour. Whisk together, stirring until most of flour disappears into the batter.
Let batter sit at room temperature about 15 minutes. Heat lightly greased cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet (cook in batches). When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes start to look dry (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.

Something that was roccommended to me (I'm posting the receipt's link if y'all won't mind): https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/8395550/make-ahead-frozen-yogurt-parfaits/?printview

The granola receipt works as a breakfast cereal, too (I think) especially during hot weather (bake it at night when it's cooler.)
