#mixing overnight oats

[finn-shitposts]

I'm really curious how you make your oatmeal (mostly if you add anything to it)!! I'm always looking for new ways to eat it

I just mix dry oats with milk, sugar and bitter cocoa powder until its got the consistency of Slop and then whack it in the microwave for 3 minutes or so! It comes together into like a soft chewy granola bar type thing? Except in a bowl lol - its a really chocolatey and filling breakfast ;] (not healthy. Not the intended way to eat oats. BUT!!! back when all i did was work 10hr shifts of manual labour i found it a rly good way to get energy for the morning. And ok its tasty sue me sksjslsk)

I dont tend to mix anything else in, cos microwaved fruits and nuts arent very nice, but i do sometimes have grapes or strawberries/blackberries (or any kind of berries really) on the side with it~~

Today is Dungeons & Daddies’s 5th Anniversary!

I haven’t been listening for nearly that long but the podcast and all its characters means a lot to me. Happy Anniversary!!!

Throwing the cropped sections under the cut because there’s a lot of stuff going on and I know Tumblr likes to throw half the pixel quality out the window. And also so I can ramble a bit about this piece!!!

This piece has been months in the making, possibly an entire year. And by that I mean I’ve had a sketch of the comp scribbled on my whiteboard for ages because I wanted to save this specifically for 5th anni art. Now onto design stuff!

(First off a random thought: I really love how the garlic knot came out, I kind of want it as an enamel pin.)

I knew I wanted to make this a stained glass piece since the beginning, but I was also going to add flowers at one point but quickly dropped the idea. It felt like too much and I also didn’t want to fuss over flower language assignments for everyone. I was also going to add Doodler tentacles, but also dropped that idea pretty early. Kind of on accident, right at the end, I figured out how to make it even more stained glass-like but taking a duplicated lineart underneath the regular layer and turning the brightness all the way down, then setting it to overlay and adding a guassian blur. It’s very subtle but it adds that tiny bit of depth that makes it look more real. As for shading on the lineart/gold, I tried adding more highlight on the characters who died but once I evened everything out it wasn’t as noticeable anymore so I’m throwing that thought here so the attempt at least known lol.

The order of characters only changed a little bit from my original comp, I flipped the Wilsons and the Oaks so the rainbow could work. As for the anchors, specifically in season 2, I lined them up to the teens since the season 1 anchors lined up with each dad:

Tony —> Scary: his death was the beginning of Scary’s betrayal arc and also Willy killed him.

Guitar Pick —> Taylor: it’s not really aligned with Taylor at all, but the anchor was with Glenn so I put it next to his blunt.

Scroll —> Normal: was only because it was the last left to give him, but there’s the whole scene of him and Hermie in the Green Room so it still works!

Garlic Knot —> Link: one of two that he broke, but the more significant of the two with him telling Grant he never wants to see him again.

Small notes on the season 1 anchors: I put the layer of mold in the overnight oats but you can’t really tell with the overlay. And to make the supper bowl more interesting I added the fantasy sodas mix they dumped into it. The lure of actually drawn before so I just traced my own art lol.

As for the other smaller triangles, it took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to put there. I didn’t even think of adding the vehicles until two days ago but I’m so glad I did. I don’t really have my own take on the mascot version of the Doodler (yet?) so I borrowed the design from one of the stickers in their merch shop. Teeny was terrifying as just a front facing head so I made him cute again.

In the outer circles, I put what I felt was the most significant quotes for each family. I really wanted to use “It’s okay to be angry, it’s not okay to be cruel” but it was just a little too long.

That’s all I can think of! If you read all the way through, thank you for indulging me in my excitement to gush over this piece.

[rotting-pond]

I don't even measure I literally just dump oats milk & frozen blueberries into a tub and it's somehow become something I look forward to every morning

Oh my gosh this was EXACTLY the kind of blog I've been searching for. Thank you so much for it. 💛💛💛

I highly recommend overnight oats! For a long time I thought they were probably gross but they're so easy if you have some foresight, tasty, and perfect for the coming hot months.

1 cup oats (any, I use large flake) , 1 cup milk (any kind), 1 heaping tbsp peanut butter, a couple handfuls blueberries (frozen or fresh) or whatever fruit you want, a sprinkle of salt, a little brown sugar or maple syrup! I put this all in a Tupperware, stir, put it in the fridge, and the next morning I have a breakfast and if I don't eat it all, a snack for later!

[what-even-is-thiss]

Overnight oats are equal parts by volume rolled oats and your milk of choice. Add a couple drops of lemon or lime juice. You won’t taste it but the acid breaks down the oats a little bit, letting you absorb the nutrients better.

Also add anything else you want to it. I like adding a spoonful of nut butter, a couple drops of maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon. Other options include yogurt, fruit, jelly, sugar, spices, whatever.

Mix that all together in a sealable container and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Now you’ve already got breakfast ready when you stumble confused and disoriented into the kitchen before work.

Poise & Progess: Formulating My Meal Plan

Firstly, I am not an expert or dietician or whatever. With the help of Chat GPT I’ve compiled a list of meals and snacks that I can incorporate into a meal plan and that will allow me to reach my fitness/body goals.

Certainly! Here's the balanced meal plan grouped by meals, without the days specified:

Breakfast:

Scrambled eggs with spinach and tomatoes

Greek yogurt parfait with fruits

Oatmeal with bananas, nuts, and cinnamon

Whole-grain pancakes with yogurt

Whole-grain toast with scrambled eggs

Smoothie (spinach, banana, berries)

Overnight oats with almond milk

Avocado toast with fruits

Lunch:

Pour in the melted butter and stir until crumbly. Evenly sprinkle the streusel over the cheesecake layer. Baking: Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean. Once done, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Finishing: Before serving, drizzle with salted caramel sauce and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Slice into squares and enjoy!

I know that was a shitpost for the latest Danny Phantom fandom meme, but I'm genuinely impressed and how authentic it sounds. How much of Dash's monologue is real advice, and how do you know all of that? Do you work out?

Yes I'm so sorry to inform my good people of Tumblr that I've secretly been a part of the gym fandom for all this time. I've only recently come out as a gymbro in this phandom via my creation of the current dp gym bro au meme that I've forced upon everyone in this good holy christian space. I mix whey protein into my overnight oats, I track my macros, and I have a closet full of Gym Girlie Outfits™️.

And just know it's a badge of honor that I carry to be able to say I've converted multiple members of the Danny Phantom phandom into regular gym goers as well 💪

exactly one person asked for a men's list when it came to my cooking headcanons list for the ladies so here ya go!

Chris Redfield- Actually a decent home cook because he was old enough to want to give Claire some of their mom's cooking when he could. Unfortunately, any time he tries a new recipe for the first time he burns it. The second or third time things come out fine, but the first time he does something new he's opening windows to let out the pan smoke or returning to coals in the oven.

Barry Burton- His wife does all the cooking as he's hopeless in the kitchen, but since they got married she's never had to wash a single dish. He always made sure there's a working dishwasher in their house for when he's away too long to do his usual chore.

Albert Wesker- Can make the fanciest looking food in the world. We're talking Michelin star $100 a plate in appearance only. His dishes have zero flavor. They taste. No one understands how this happens.

Leon Kennedy- Breakfast King. I know the line in damnation is too overused, but breakfast is actually the easiest way to start learning how to cook. Box mix pancakes, bacon, sausage, and eggs, all require him to put something in a pan on low to medium heat with some oil and poke it around until it's done. There's little effort exerted in monitoring since that's half his real job anyway. Of course it translates to cooking. He's perfected the timing. Everything else is take-out though.

Carlos Oliveira- He had no idea how to cook until he got out of Raccoon City and went home to his family. He tried learning from his mama, but she'd always take the knife or pan from him, so he learned from a sibling and is pretty good at it. He makes a lot of marinades, so the blender is his friend.

Luis Serra Navarro- Absolutely under no circumstances does this man belong in a kitchen. He will concoct the most wretched smelling health food that's full of vitamins, minerals, and "a healthy dash of vinegar for flavor". He's wonderful to have at the dinner table, but never at the stove. Makes a real tasty cup of coffee though.

Jack Krauser- For some ungodly reason, this man can take someone's most hated foods and make them taste good. No idea what the hell he does to it as he will kick everyone out of the kitchen until he's done, but he's just like that. Barely cooks not because he hates it, but because he has to be in the mood.

Piers Nivans- He's the king of the grill. Will lecture anyone in earshot about the important difference between gas, charcoal, or wood when it comes to maintaining the flavor of the meat. He also believes salt and pepper are all you need for a great burger which must be cooked to medium at the hottest lest it lose it's tenderness.

Jake Muller- Salads, smoothies, and overnight oats, he's the one making meals that are able to be eaten fast or on the go. Fruit counts as a dessert to him. He does enjoy experimenting by eating the "weird" or most unfriendly tourist foods while he travels so he has something to brag about, even though he could never figure out how to cook any of it himself.

Ethan Winters- He tries his best. He'll help Mia in the kitchen with food prep or clean up. He makes good dips for chips, has a delicious cookie recipe, and researched how to make baby food for when Rosemary stopped being breastfed. This somehow translated into him figuring out how to make very good custards and parfaits. Although, he got super frustrated trying to figure out how to make bread and has given up the fight.

i will happily do this again for any characters not on either of my lists since i love cooking and baking, and this is fun to think about

Food Options for People with Histamine and Salicylate Itolerances

Hi All,

My wife just found out that she has both histamine intolerance and salicylate intolerance. Within days of starting to take antihistamines and eating only very low histamine/salicylate foods, nearly every health problem she's had for the last 15 years (including vision problems, plantar fasciitis, severe GERD, severe brain fog (to the point where we thought she had early onset Alzheimer's), chronic fatigue, and joint pain) literally went away or got markedly better overnight.

The only thing is: If you're really strict on the low histamine and low salicylate diets, it really limits what you can eat. If you're gluten or lactose intolerant as well, that makes things even more difficult.

So I decided to put together some recipes that contain the lowest possible histamine and salicylate burdens. The "safest" list contains only the following: Bamboo shoots, cabbage, celery, iceberg lettuce, peeled white potato, millet, oats, rice, maple syrup, white sugar, distilled white vinegar, saffron, sea salt, canola oil, safflower oil, egg yolk, meat, fish, poultry- very fresh only, true fish only.

Marinade: Mince a stalk of celery, then combine that with a third of a cup white vinegar, a half teaspoon salt, and 2 tbsp maple syrup. Soak your meat or poultry in it before cooking to give it some flavor.

Salad (or anything) Dressing: Whisk together 2 raw egg yolks, 2 tbsp white vinegar, and 2 tbsp canola oil. Salt to taste.

Slaw: Shred a quarter of a cabbage, 3 stalks celery, and 1 can bamboo shoots. Toss in a dressing made from a third of a cup of white vinegar, a tbsp white sugar, and a third of a cup of canola or safflower oil.

Potato and Rice fritters: Cook a cup of white rice until it's soft. Peel and chop a medium potato into 1-in cubes, boil potato until soft, drain and mash. Mix rice and potato, add 2 egg yolks and salt to taste, form into patties, and fry in canola oil.

Potato and Celery Soup: Mince 5 stalks of celery and fry in a tbsp or two of canola oil. Add 4 cups chicken stock (make ahead by boiling a chicken carcass in water with a tbsp vinegar for 3 hours) and 2 large potatoes (peeled and cubed). Boil until the potatoes are soft. Mash the potatoes in the stock, add salt to taste, and serve.

Congee with Pickle: Soak bamboo shoots overnight (or a few hours) in a mixture of 1/3 cup vinegar, a teaspoon salt, and a tbsp sugar. Make a rice or millet soup by cooking grains in about double the water specified on the package. Mash the grain and flavor this soup with salt or sugar to taste. Fry a couple of egg yolks or some fish and place on top. Eat with your bamboo shoot pickle.

Millet Crispies: Pop millet by placing a small amount in a dry frying pan.

Oatmeal: Make oatmeal according to package instructions with salt to taste. Top with fried egg yolks, maple syrup, millet crispies, fried minced celery, slaw, or whatever meat options you have available.

Celery Boats: Shred a cup or so of cooked chicken and toss with salad dressing listed above. Fill stalks of celery with the mixture.

Beef and Cabbage Soup: Fry 3 stalks of minced celery in canola oil at the bottom of a pot. Cut up a half head of cabbage into ribbons and fry with the celery. Remove the celery and cabbage. Put a pound of beef stew meat cut into 1-in chunks (or ground meat of choice) in the pot and brown. Add the celery and cabbage back in, add 6 cups water or stock, and boil with salt to taste until at least the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Lettuce wraps: Brown a pound of ground chicken in a pan with 3 stalks minced celery, half a cup of chopped bamboo shoots, a tbsp of vinegar and salt to taste. When cooked through, carefully remove leaves of iceberg lettuce from a head. Fill with meat mixture and enjoy. Serve with rice.

Rice Pudding: Whisk together 4 egg yolks, a quarter cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp glutinous rice flour, a pinch of salt, and a scant cup of water. Add this to a pot with 1.5 cups COOKED rice. Stir on medium heat until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid but is still somewhat pour-able. Pour into a small casserole type dish and chill in the fridge to set.

Contains wheat, fresh dairy, onion, parsley:

Beef Stew: Cook 4 stalks minced celery and 1 minced medium onion in butter or ghee until soft. Add 1 lb beef stew meat cut into 1-in chunks and brown. Add 6 cups stock or water and salt and parsley to taste. Whisk together 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour and add to mixture. Peel and cut 2 medium white potatoes and add to mixture. Bring to a low boil and simmer until meat and potato chunks are cooked through- about 20 minutes.

Flat breads: Combine 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup butter, oil, or ghee with 2 cups flour (adjust amounts as needed to create a workable dough). Roll into flat rounds and cook on a dry skillet.

Mashed Potatoes with Onion: Peel and cut 4 large white potatoes into 1-in cubes. Place in a pot with water to cover. Boil for 20-30 minutes. While boiling, mince 1 large white onion and cook in butter, oil, or ghee until caramelized. Drain and mash potatoes. Add onion to potatoes along with a tbsp dried parsley and salt to taste and cream or milk to taste. Stir everything together.

Deep Fried Cheese Curds, Chicken Nuggets, Battered French Fries, or Onion rings: Combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1tsp baking soda, and salt to taste. Bring 2-3 inches of canola oil or lard to frying temp. Dump 1lb of cheese curds, 1-in flattened chunks of chicken, sliced white potato, or sliced onion in batter, and spoon them into the frying oil. Fry until crispy and remove onto a plate lined with paper towels. See "Salad Dressing" in previous comment for something to dip in.

Maple Milk: Put a few tbsp maple syrup into a glass of warm or cold milk for a treat.

Cheesy Dessert Tacos: Make flatbreads listed above. Mix together 2 tbsp maple syrup with a half cup plain farmer's cheese or goat cheese. Spread on flat breads and fold like a taco.

Cheesy Dinner Tacos: Combine 2 tsp onion powder and 2 tsp dried parsley with a half cup plain farmer's or goat cheese. Spread on flatbreads. Add shredded cooked chicken and shredded cabbage. Fold like a taco.

Mapley "Crime" Brulee: Whisk together 6 egg yolks, 4 tbsp maple syrup, and 2.5 cups heavy whipping cream in a pot over low heat, whisking continuously until thick. Pour into ramekins, sprinkle with white sugar, bake until set, then broil until the tops are crispy.
