A/N: I promise I’m getting to your prompts I love you guys

Virgil laid flat on his back, eyes fixed on the familiar water stain on the ceiling.

It’d been there since he moved in, three years ago. He hadn’t noticed it right away, instead focused on exploring all the rooms, thrilled about all the space he would have. He wished the house was smaller— Wished they lived in an apartment. He certainly would have more free time.

There were four spots in the house Virgil hid the money, and he never visited the same one too often. One was tucked inside an empty spray bottle with all of his cleaning stuff, under the kitchen sink. One was slipped between the bedspring and the mattress, on Virgil’s side. He’d never felt a lump or anything, but he was terrified his boyfriend would somehow feel it in his sleep and find the stash.

Another was hidden in a plant pot under Virgil’s favourite window, buried under the dirt in a plastic bag. The last was tucked into Virgil’s wallet, which he hadn’t touched in three years. No need for a wallet when you don’t leave the house, and your boyfriend pays for everything with his card.

His boyfriend had been gone for hours. He’d be gone for several more. Virgil wasn’t sure why he hadn’t left yet, why he did his daily chores and then just laid there, hoping the water stain would grow and spread and swallow the entire house.

He wouldn’t get another chance like this. Not for years, probably. It was the exact opportunity he’d been waiting for.

So why couldn’t he do it?

He squeezed his eyes shut as they welled with tears. He imagined his boyfriend getting home with his gifts and false compassion, imagined having to spend another several years as his property, with his dull life of cleaning and not much else.

He pushed himself off the ground and headed for the window that looked out the front yard. He dug under the daisy growing in the pot, spilling dirt all over the immaculate carpet, ripping up its roots and petals, and grabbed the first stash.

Once he started, he couldn’t stop. He flew through the house to grab all the money and put his backpack together, and then skidded to a stop in front of the door. He swallowed. He was going to throw up.

He reached blindly for the coatrack, his fingers wrapping around the soft fabric of his boyfriend’s hoodie. He pulled it on and threw the door open. He didn’t think to close it as he stepped out onto the drive, almost disassociating. All he’d felt under his feet for three years was carpet and tile and hardwood. He hopped off the driveway into the grass, and then the sidewalk, and then the road.

He took in a shuddering breath, pulled his hood up, and ducked his head as he headed for the nearest train station.

The ticket stole most of his money, but it didn’t matter. As long as he got to the city, he would be fine. He could figure it all out from there.

He sat alone on the train, wanting desperately to sleep but instead sitting straight up, never resting from his constant patrol. A lady sitting across from him at one point offered to buy him something to eat, but he refused.

The train stopped in the city’s station close to midnight. Despite him saying he didn’t need any help, the lady guided his shaky self down the steps, and patted his back.

“Where are you headed?”

Virgil swallowed. “Um…”

“Do you… Have family in the city?”

He shook his head. He didn’t know where his parents were.

“Here, let me see your arm.”

Virgil was hesitant, but carefully rolled his sleeve up. The cool tip of her Sharpie scribbled over his pale skin for a moment, and when she finished, she’d mapped out the directions to a few homeless shelters.

“They should be able to help you if you don’t have anyone else,” she said. “They can feed you, too. You should eat.”

Virgil’s face turned red. “Okay. Uh, thank- Thank you. Thanks.”

She smiled and squeezed his shoulder, and then she was on her way.

Virgil spent the next few weeks hopping around homeless shelters. Most of them only allowed a few days’ stay at a time, and he was forced out after breakfast early in the morning. Occasionally, he had to find alternative places to sleep, resorting to behind closed stores, alleyways, fire escapes— Anything he could find and be relatively certain he wouldn’t be caught.

Most days spent in the city were unproductive. He was overwhelmed, not sure what he wanted, what choices he even had. The stark difference of the empty house he spent three days in, the loudest sounds being traffic outside or his music, to plunging himself deep in the middle of something that was constantly alive, constantly busy, was…

Overwhelming.

He was at a cafe, his current favourite place in the city because they let him stay as long as he wanted and gave him free water, when he saw the ad.

THREE ROOMMATES (MALE) LOOKING FOR FOURTH

The three of us are currently struggling to make rent, and we have a spare bedroom. Rent would be approximately $575/month. Two of us work from home, and they’re very loud. One of them only works from home part-time.

Attached was a phone number to call for an interview.

Virgil asked the girl behind the counter to borrow her phone, and dialled the number with shaking hands.

“Hello?”

“H-Hi.” Virgil cleared his throat as his voice broke. “Um, I saw your ad?”

“Oh! Awesome! When are you free for an interview?”

“Any time, but…” He swallowed. “I’m… I’m just a little, uh, short. I only have about $490 left. But- But if I just had a place to stay, I could-”

“Hey!” The boy sounded concerned. “Hey, hey, calm down. We can still do the interview! Everyone here is struggling, we get it. Besides, you’re our third applicant, and the other two are… Not favourable. So if you nail the interview, and we don’t get too many more applicants, I’ll try to convince my roommates. Where have you been staying?”

Virgil hesitated. “Kind of, um, all over the place. The- The shelters, mostly.”

“Hmm,” he hummed gravely. “Okay, are you free in an hour? I’m home, so if you want to bang out the interview today, we can!”

Virgil’s eyes widened. “Really? Uh- Yeah. Yeah, I can get there. Um, what’s the address?”

When he arrived at the apartment complex, he wanted to throw up and go back to the shelter. Images of Patton laughing at him, or harassing him, or attacking him were the mildest thoughts to run through his head.

But this was his best option.

He knew that.

He had to go inside.

He took in a shuddering breath. He had to go inside.

He walked inside.

Virgil was afraid of elevators, so he took the stairs, only half procrastinating. Patton and his roommates lived on the fourth floor. By the time he arrived, his thighs burned and he was a little out of breath. He looked down at himself and cringed— He was so skinny, mostly just bones, and pale. He looked like he crawled out of a cave. He wore his boyfriend’s now dirty hoodie and jeans that hadn’t been washed in a week.

How the fuck was he supposed to land this interview?

He forced himself to push forward, though, and when he knocked, he barely heard it. The door flew open and Virgil barely managed not to jump back. The boy on the other side had golden-brown skin and big, round green eyes. His dark hair fell in messy curls over his forehead. His apron, covered in flour and cocoa powder, followed the swell of his round belly.

“Hi!” He stuck his hand out. “Virgil? I’m Patton!”

Virgil shook his hand with a loose grip and stepped inside when gestured. Patton pointed out the table while he hung up his apron, and Virgil nervously lowered himself into one of the old, chipped wooden chairs. Patton came to sit across from him with a warm smile and a sheet of paper.

“Okay, so I just have a few questions!” He said cheerily. “Don’t let yourself get too nervous, this is hardly formal, I promise.”

Virgil nodded.

“Okay! First question: How long would you be staying?”

Virgil blinked. “Uh… I’m not- I’m not really sure. As long as possible, I guess. Until I get back on my feet and some time after that, if you all are still here.”

Patton scribbled his answer down. “What do you like to do in your free time?”

Virgil spent an embarrassing amount of time thinking about that question. Did cleaning count as free time? No, that was basically his job. Better refer to it as such. He wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans and stumbled out, “Well, uh, I guess- I guess I listen to music a lot. I gardened sometimes with, you know, those tiny plant boxes?”

He gasped, and for a terrifying second, Virgil thought he’d somehow offended him. But then Patton pointed to the right, into the living room. Along the sill of the huge window were several of the exact planter boxes Virgil’s boyfriend bought for him.

“That’s awesome!” Patton gushed. “You’d be able to help us take care of them! They die a lot. We’re planting a lot of strawberries right now, are you any good with them?”

Virgil nodded. “Y-Yeah, I grew tons of strawberries.”

Patton grinned ear to ear and furiously scribbled some things down. Virgil relaxed a little. “How clean are you? Are you good at cleaning up after yourself?”

Virgil was nodding before he finished speaking. “Yeah, I’m really clean. I spent a lot of time cleaning before I left, so it’s, uh, pretty much habit not to leave a mess around.”

“How would you feel about a chore chart?” Patton pointed to the fridge behind Virgil. Stuck on the front was a large sheet of paper split into three columns, with the headings PATTON, LOGAN, and ROMAN. “Logan made it, and he’s pretty strict about everyone sticking to it. It basically just splits our weekly house chores down the middle, with small accommodations depending on what job everyone has. On paper, I have the least amount of chores because I work the most hours, but a lot of those are cleaning, anyway.”

Virgil shifted nervously. Would they let him off by saying looking for a job counted towards those hours? Otherwise… He’d be doing a lot of cleaning. What if I trick myself into thinking leaving was a waste of time?

“I can do that.” He was surprised at how confident he sounded.

“Great! How often do you cook? No one’s required to cook a certain amount a week or anything- You don’t have to cook at all, if you don’t want to or can’t -but we eat a lot of family dinners so it’s evened itself out so far naturally.”

“Yeah- No, I can cook. I have a few recipes pretty nailed down so, uh, that shouldn’t be a problem.”

Virgil’s body was alive with adrenaline. Was he doing well? He thought he was doing well. Patton looked happier and happier with each answer, so he had to be doing well, right?

“Along the same line, how do you feel about sharing?” Patton bit his lip. “We understand that everyone has their boundaries, but we’re all pretty close. If you moved in, someone might dip into your groceries by accident, and borrow something without asking. We’d never go into your room without asking, but, well… Yeah, we have boundary issues.” He giggled nervously.

Tightness expanded in Virgil’s chest. “That’s fine,” he managed.

Patton frowned. “It’s okay if you’re not. If you’re the right fit for us, we’ll just have to be more careful. You’d just have to forgive a few slip-ups while we adjust.”

Virgil nodded and forced his voice to steady. “It’s fine. I promise.” He’d just keep everything important in his room- It’s not like he had more than a backpack’s worth right then, anyway.

Patton nodded slowly and wrote down his answer. “Okay… Um, what’s your sleep schedule like? Roman and Logan both get up pretty early. Logan’s really quiet, but Roman’s really… Not, so if you’re a light sleeper and you sleep in like a normal person, his singing might get on your nerves.”

“I’m fine with that. I, uh, my sleep schedule’s kind of all over the place, so I don’t think it matters?”

“Okay! How has it been lately?”

“Well, uh, the shelters kick us out pretty early, so my sleep schedule probably coincides with Roman’s.”

Patton nodded. “Do you have any pets, or plans to get any?” Virgil shook his head, and Patton made a noise of disappointment. “How often do you get drunk?”

Surprised, Virgil admitted, “I’ve never gotten drunk.”

“Oh!” Patton blushed and laughed. “Do you plan on changing that any time soon? Was it a rule, or?”

“It wasn’t a rule, I just… I don’t know, there was never too much alcohol around. I don’t plan on getting into the stuff, no.”

Patton nodded and mumbled, “Good.” He straightened up. “Are you still friends with your old roommates?”

Virgil folded his hands in his lap, squeezing tight. “No?” He stammered, “Is, uh, is that bad?”

He shook his head. “No, not necessarily! How many roommates have you had?”

“Well, there were my parents, and then my boyfriend.”

“That’s completely understandable,” Patton promised.

Virgil tipped his head to the side in confusion. Even the part about his parents? He didn’t assume Virgil was some ungrateful, heartless monster?

“And, um, I’m sorry about this-” Patton looked at him guiltily, “-but I do have to ask… How would you be paying the rent? Would you be able to put down a deposit?”

Shit. Fucking hell, this was going bad fast. “I’m not really sure yet? I- I know that’s bad, I just- Uh, well, I have been looking, I promise. I’ll get the first job I can. I promise.”

Patton held his hand up with a frown. “Hey, it’s okay. I know, you’re in a rough spot right now. It’s okay. You said you’d be a little on the first month?”

Virgil swallowed and nodded. “I can give it to you now, though.”

Patton laughed nervously. “Uh, no, that’s okay. Please hold onto that. If we accept you as a roommate, we’ll take it then, okay? Don’t let someone pre-emptively take your money.”

Virgil blushed. “Okay.”

Patton wrote something down, then looked up and asked, “Is there anything else I should know?”

He thought for a moment. He was sure there was something he should tell them, something they were obligated to know before they agreed to live with him. Plenty of ideas ran through his head in his boyfriend’s voice, but for whatever reason, he didn’t think those were appropriate to voice.

“No,” he settled on. “Not that I can think of.”

“Okay.” Patton smiled and set the paper down. “We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.”

Hello fellas! SO I posted this fic a while back, BUT I re-read it and I ended up being pretty dissatisfied with the final results of it. I also decided not to make part of a series anymore, so now it’s just a stand alone! Alternatively, it can be read here! I hope you enjoy!

Title: A Mundane Morning

Pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio

Rating: General Audiences

Words: 3609

Additional Tags: Established Relationship, Domestic Fluff, Cooking

Summary: One morning, Hinata and Kageyama attempt to make pancakes. What could go wrong, right?

Just like his name and fiery personality, Hinata awoke when the sun had already started its slow— yet steady rise in the sky. He glanced at the clock on the nightstand beside him, it was exactly 9:30am. This was the usual time Hinata arose on weekends, as he liked to sleep a few more hours those days instead of getting up at six o’clock sharp to commute to school, and so did his boyfriend. He turned around to face the man that was laying in bed behind him, who was snoring gently, chest steadily rising and falling with every breath he took.

It was these moments that Hinata loved. The relaxing days they would both stay in bed and unwind after the week’s gruelling volleyball practices. Even though they were both bundles of endless energy, they still needed to recharge once in a while, and their bodies thanked them for it. He shifted his weight to rest on top of the latter, giving him a little peck on the cheek, receiving a grunt from him in return.

“Tobio,” Hinata whispered gently into his ear, like he always did when he woke him up. “WAKE UP!”

Kageyama instantly jolted awake in surprise, which was followed by rolling off the bed and face planting into the cold hardwood floor beneath him. He clawed his side of the bed, gripping onto the bedsheet as leverage to help himself up. His chin, forehead, and nose were a scarlet red from the impact, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.

“Did you have to yell dumbass?!” Kageyama shouted. He was angry, but that was the usual Kageyama when Hinata did this to him anyways and every single time, he would fall for it.

Hinata snickered, covering his face with his hand. “I’m sorry, Tiredyama.” His words dripping with sarcasm. “Do you want me to kiss it to make it feel better?”

Instantly, Kageyama stopped in his angry tracks. His face was still red, but for a completely different reason. He sputtered out a reply, “Y-Yea actually…” This was so unlike the usual, uptight, yelling-in-Hinata’s-face Kageyama, that Hinata was actually taken aback. Who knew his boyfriend could be so timid and adorable?

With a spring in his step, the orange haired boy bounced to the other side of the room. On his tippy-toes, he closed his eyes and puckered his lips, when suddenly THWACK, an equally as thick skull collided into his. He lost his balance and fell ass- first onto the floor.

The shorter man held his head, which was throbbing in pain. He looked up at his boyfriend, who had a smirk plastered on his face.

“What’dya do that for?!” Hinata winced. That was definitely going to bruise over. Some said Hinata had a thick skull, but in his opinion, Kageyama’s was ten times— no, twenty times thicker.

Kageyama outstretched a hand. Hinata accepted it, allowing Kageyama to pull him up. “Good morning, Shoyou. Do you want me to kiss it better?”

Although the two of them had no intention to step foot outside of the house today, which they had all to themselves as Hinata’s mom and sister ran errands, they changed out of their pyjamas into their lounge wear. Hinata looked around his messy bedroom for his favourite shirt and a pair of shorts. After a quick glance with no sign of them, he searched through the pile of clothing in the far corner of the room. He stuck his hands into the pile of dirty laundry, sifting through it until he found what he was looking for. He pulled both articles of clothing out of the pile, slipping on the oversized pastel yellow t-shirt that he obviously stole from Kageyama and his favourite pair of shorts he received from Oikawa for his birthday last year. They weren’t particularly his style—with little alien heads scattered around them on top of a navy blue background speckled with tiny stars— but he was honoured that the Grand King would even give him a gift in the first place, seeing how he was dating the underclassman who was a complete pain in the ass to him.

It was time for breakfast and Hinata was ready to eat. His stomach growled violently in hunger, making its voice known through the loud rumbles that came from it. So, he made his way into the kitchen, where Kageyama already was.

“What are you looking at?” Hinata came down the stairs to find his boyfriend squinting at a piece of paper taped to a cabinet door at eye level.

Kageyama stopped what he was doing and looked up at his short boyfriend, who skipped the last step of the staircase by jumping from the second last. “What does it look like I’m doing?” He asked, squatting low to open the cupboard below the one with the piece of paper. He pulled out a large metal mixing bowl, “I’m making breakfast.” he stated matter of factly.

Hinata furrowed his eyebrows. He was skeptical. This wasn’t the first time Kageyama had tried to make breakfast from one of the recipes in his mom’s cookbook that she always left in the kitchen. For starters, neither of them knew how to cook and every time they tried to, the dishes they made would end up tasting horrible. Secondly, Kageyama only had a certain amount of patience when it came to cooking. The second whatever they were cooking hit the pan or pot they were using to cook it with, the temptation to turn up the heat in attempts to speed up the cooking process was too great for Kageyama. He always gave into it, which usually resulted in billowing smoke clouds, burnt food, and the both of them running around the house to open every single window so the fire alarm wouldn’t go off. All in all, it wasn’t Hinata’s favourite thing in the world to do, but he admired his boyfriend for giving it his all. It was the thought that counted, not how it tasted in the end.

“Let me give you a hand at least.” He lightly bumped Kageyama out of the way with his hip so he could see the recipe. It was a very simple pancake recipe. It clearly and thoroughly listed every ingredient they would need and every direction they needed to take in order to create perfectly delicious pancakes. Hinata’s confidence in his cooking abilities swelled as his eyes continued reading down the page. If he and Kageyama screwed this up, they would be the biggest idiots in the entire world— no, universe.

Kageyama nodded in approval. Since he was grabbing every kitchen utensil they would need to make these pancakes, Hinata started on grabbing the ingredients they needed. He looked at the recipe again, reciting the ingredients they needed out loud to remember, “Flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk, two eggs, and vanilla extract.” He bounced around the kitchen, setting each ingredient on the island in the center.

Once everything was assembled, the two got to work. Hinata rolled his sleeves up to his shoulders. “Where do we start, Chef Kageyama?”

Kageyama’s face flushed a bit at the title he was given. He took the recipe down from the cupboard, cleared his throat, and read out step one word for word, “‘In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.’ Sounds simple enough.”

Together, the two boys poured all the dry ingredients into the plastic bowl with less than accurate measurements. Hinata started to mix the concoction of powders together until Kageyama took the metallic whisk from his hand, tsking.

“You’re not mixing it enough. Here.” He motioned Hinata to hold the bowl down for him. The shorter man braced for impact.

Kageyama took the whisk in his dominant hand and as if he were using the might of Zeus, he stirred as fast as he could. Clouds of powder puffed up into the air as the contents of the bowl splashed over its rim.

Hinata coughed as he inhaled particles of it that were hanging in the air, “You’re stirring too fast, Idiotyama!” He grabbed Kageyama’s forearm and wrenched the whisk from his hand and said, “You have to make it more like zoom!”

Hinata kept the bowl steady by placing it between his stomach and his arm. At the same pace, the orange haired boy mixed at the exact same speed as his boyfriend, more powder further splashing out of the bowl and onto the counter.

“No dumbass!! It’s more like whoosh! Give it to me!” Kageyama gripped the bowl and tried to tug it out of Hinata’s grasp.

“No!” Hinata put the whisk down and tugged against Kageyama, who was also pulling the bowl in his direction. “It’s like zoom!”

Kageyama, “Whoosh!”

Hinata, “Zoom!”

“Whoosh!”

“Zoo-”

The bowl slipped out of both of their grasps, it was airborne. All they could do was watch as it started its descent downward. It was as if the bowl was falling in slow motion-- their mouths agape at the spectacle. As it plummeted to the floor, a plume of the rest of what was inside blasted upwards, covering the two in a powdery mess.

The two coughed violently, the powder making its way into their lungs. Hinata’s mom was going to be pissed. Usually, she had the patience of a saint since her son and daughter were possibly the most energetic children known to man, but Hinata could already imagine her patience thinning upon seeing the disaster of a kitchen they left in their wake.

The orange haired boy looked around, there wasn’t a single spot around them that wasn’t dusted with powder; even his feet were covered with an avalanche of it.

“... That’s what happens when you go 'whoosh’ instead of ‘zoom', Idiotyama.” he added.

After trying to clean up the powder as best as they could, they measured out all of the ingredients and tried again. Instead of going ‘whoosh’ or ‘zoom’, the two compromised with a more moderate mixing speed, which they now dubbed in their language of onomatopoeias as: ‘zwhoosh’.

“What’s the next step?” Hinata asked curiously as he looked into the bowl at their combined dry ingredients, satisfied that none of it ended up anywhere outside the bowl.

Kageyama read out loud, “‘Make a well in the center and pour in the milk.’”

A simple instruction that could be carried out by a child, except, “What do they mean by ‘well’?” Hinata asked, picturing an actual well that people used in the olden days to get water from. How would they fit an entire one of those in their bowl?

“I think they mean something like this…” with caution, Kageyama carefully scooped all of the ingredients into the middle of the bowl. He cupped one hand around the mountain-like pile and used the other to carefully dig a hole in its center.

“Woah! You’re a genius, Kageyama!” Hinata exclaimed, sparkles in his hazel eyes. Even if Kageyama could be a dumbass, Hinata loved how smart he could be sometimes. “You stir as I pour the milk in.”

Not wanting to mess up like last time, Hinata followed the instructions to a T, pouring the milk into a measuring cup before plopping it into the bowl. The recipe called for one and a quarter cups of milk and to mix until it was lumpy, so Hinata added as much as they needed to get to that consistency, reaching his goal with careful precision. Then, he threw in a little bit of vanilla extract in and cracked two eggs, disregarding the little bits of shell that fell in as he did so. Step two was done and Hinata was proud that they made it one step further this time.

“What’s next?” Hinata asked, clapping his hands together to try and get the rest of the flour off of his hands. He took a whiff of the batter in the bowl, the light aroma of vanilla extract drifting into his nostrils. His stomach growled in response to the delicious smell of the batter. “Mmm, it smells good.” he thought aloud.

Kageyama didn’t take any further glaces at the recipe. “We cook them.” He simply said. He walked to the wall near the stove, taking one of the larger frying pans that hung off the rack and put it on the stove. He turned the knob of the burner and with a click, the burner ignited, gradually heating up the pan. He took the bowl of batter in one hand, then grabbed the ladle beside it and moved both beside the stove. Kageyama then scooped a whole ladle full of the chunky substance onto the pan.

“Oi! Wait, Kageyama! Don’t you have to butter the pan before you-”

Ssst. It was too late. The batter from the ladle pooled in the pan slowly, making a perfectly round pancake in the center.

“You idiot! It wasn’t non-stick!” Hinata exclaimed. He ran to the stove and turned it off, grabbing the pan as he did so to bring it to the sink. Using a bit of elbow grease, the orange haired boy tried to get the pancake off the pan, but to no avail. Pancake remnants were already caked onto it. If the incident with the first step was bad, ruining his mom’s favourite pan was even worse. Hinata turned to Kageyama, his face pale from the thought of his mom getting mad.

“L-Let’s use another pan…”

Hinata’s right arm hurt from scrubbing, but he managed to get the pan looking almost as good as it looked before they had first used it. He went over to the appliance rack, and took down a shabbier looking pan, handing it to his boyfriend, “Here, use this one.”

Kageyama put the pan on the stove and turned the heat up. This time, he buttered the pan and laid down the second pancake, the satisfying sizzle from the pan made Hinata’s stomach growl fiercely. These pancakes were taking ages to make.

Hinata took a spatula and lifted the edge of the pancake, glancing at its golden underside. It was time to flip it, but they weren’t going to take the easy way out. They wanted to flip it like professional chefs do.

The two looked at each other and as if they could read each other’s thoughts, nodding at each other in mutual agreement. Kageyama moved out of the way, feeling Hinata’s desire to flip the pancake emanating from him. Hinata took the handle of the pan in both of his hands, jostling it to shake the rest of the pancake free. With a flick of his wrists, the pancake lifted off the pan and spun in the air. Everything was perfect about it; his form, his technique, even the spin, except... that it didn’t land back into the pan. The pancake’s unpredictable course found its destination the wall behind the stove. It slid down the wall, well out of their reach. The two looked at each other again, an apologetic look making its way onto Hinata’s face. He laughed awkwardly as he ruffled his own already tousled hair.

“Whoops.”

Followed by the standard Kageyama insult, “Hinata, you dumbass!”

The easier method with the spatula it was.

After what felt like hours of struggling trying to make these pancakes, the two finally made a stack of pancakes that would sate their monstrous hunger.

Hinata was so hungry he could eat a horse. Looking at the golden brown pancakes that stared back at him, he licked his lips and reached over for the maple syrup. It was hard to wait for Kageyama, as he preferred to clean up before eating, but he got the “okay” to start eating first since he knew Hinata was hungrier.

He popped open the lid and poured a generous amount over his breakfast, watching the amber coloured syrup dribble over the sides of the massive stack of pancakes and pool onto the plate below.

“Thank you for the food.” He mumbled. Using his fork, he cut out a small triangular piece and lifted it to his mouth. When he popped it into his mouth, Hinata’s eyes went wide as if he were experiencing an outer worldly experience. His mouth was instantly met with the lightest pillow-like texture. The pancake’s flavour was subtle, yet effective as it danced across Hinata’s taste buds with the rich flavour of the maple syrup as its complementary dance partner. He never knew it, but the fruit of his own labour tasted twice as yummy. Not too sweet, not too dense, looks like they weren’t the biggest idiots in the entire universe after all!

“Are they good?” Kageyama appeared from behind him, resting his head on Hinata’s shoulder, a glass of strawberry milk in hand. Did strawberry milk even taste good with pancakes? Never mind. He wasn’t going to question his boyfriend’s love for the beverage.

Hinata nodded excitedly as he cut his boyfriend a slice. He brought the fork to his boyfriend’s mouth, which he accepted without hesitation.

Kageyama nodded in approval. While it wasn’t enough to make his eyes sparkle like Hinata’s, it was enough to remind him how worthwhile it was to make something for yourself. He turned to look at his boyfriend, whose smile was plastered so wide against his face as he ate another piece, savouring it. The sheer bliss on his face was something Kageyama savoured more than the pancakes. A small smile made its way onto his face as he sat down in the seat opposite of Hinata, joining his boyfriend in eating breakfast.

The rest of the meal went on without much conversation. Once they were done with their initial reactions, the two scarfed down the pancakes at an abnormal speed. Kageyama was eating so fast, that he almost choked on a piece of pancake. He smacked his chest in a fit of coughs to ease the painful sensation of swallowing a large piece too quickly, accompanied by downing his entire glass of strawberry milk.

Once the two of them were full, they relaxed on the couch, listlessly watching TV together. Hinata rested his head on Kageyama’s lap, as the latter languidly thread his fingers through his bright orange hair. The drowsiness of eating too much was heavily weighing on both of them as sleep slowly pulled at their eyelids. A comfortable silence settled over the two.

Hinata looked up at Kageyama, whose head was already drooping with sleep. He smiled. It was mundane days like these that Hinata loved the most. He wouldn’t trade anything in the world for them.

Hinata turned over so his head was facing towards Kageyama’s torso. He inhaled deeply, the delicate scent of lavender detergent coming from his dark blue t-shirt comforting him on his way to dreamland. With the soft mumbling coming from the TV in front of them and Kageyama’s scent, it was the perfect recipe for Hinata to fall asleep.

And just like that, the two of them did.

“We’re home!” His mother announced,

“Onii-chan!!” a bundle of energy took off her shoes with haste and ran through the house. “We’re home! Let’s play- Huh?” his little sister Natsu stopped in her tracks once she stumbled upon their sleeping forms. One of Hinata’s arms and legs were hanging off the side of the couch, snoring loudly with his other hand placed on top of his stomach. Kageyama didn’t move much in his sleep, his head craned downwards, mouth open wide with a long string of drool dangling down from one corner.

“Natsu, let them sleep. How about you help me make dinner?” her mother said softly, putting her index finger up to her lips.

“Okay!” Natsu beamed back quietly. She tiptoed into the kitchen with her mother, ready to help make a delicious meal they could have all together when the two of them woke up.

A Small Epilogue: What happened to the Pancake that went behind the Stove?

It had been a month since Hinata and Kageyama had attempted to make pancakes.

The sun shined on a bright and early school morning. “Shoyou! It’s breakfast time!” his mother called from the kitchen.

The orange haired boy pushed his blankets off of him and made his way downstairs to where he smelled an awfully familiar scent. It was the scent of pancakes.

He plopped himself in the nearest chair, yawning as he scratched an itch on his chest. “Good morning.” he slurred.

“Good morning, Shouyou.” his mother greeted him.

“Good morning, Onii-chan!” Natsu greeted him enthusiastically, bits of pancakes spewing from her mouth with every syllable. When was she not an energetic ball of sunshine? Sometimes Hinata thought that she had even more energy than him.

He went through the same process of drizzling the pancakes with sweet maple syrup and brought a piece to his mouth. It tasted great, as expected of his mom, who had several more years of experience cooking under her belt than him and Kageyama.

“Are they good?” She asked, turning off the kitchen fan to halt its humming. Right as she stopped the fan, an unpleasant stench wafted into Hinata’s nose. It almost smelled like rotten eggs, but with something else in it that Hinata couldn’t quite decipher.

Hinata’s mom audibly sniffed the air, but upon doing so, covered her nose in disgust, “Ugh, what’s that smell?”

Suddenly, it all came back to him. He remembered the pancake that he flipped that went behind the stove. He put his fork down and stuttered out, “A-About that…”

Thus, that was how pancake that was never heard from again declared its presence once more.

Lose Belly Fat Fast: 3 Keys and a Killer Workout

To much of individuals, a sexy, toned stomach resembles the Holy Grail of fitness, but like the Holy Grail, it can additionally be frustratingly evasive. A lot of the moment it's not for want of attempting, but rather due to the fact that you're putting the majority of (or also every one of) your initiative in the wrong area. Let's put it in this manner: 1000 grinds a day alone is NOT going to obtain you there - I'll explain why in a moment. As well as don't worry if you've been doing this, due to the fact that bunches of people drop afoul of this widespread fitness myth, so when you hear it you'll see precisely what you've been doing incorrect and also extra notably, what to do regarding it.

It's Your Health Too

What's even more it's not just about vanity either. Sure all of us want to look great and also the majority of us agree that a limited, toned belly is sexy, but there's even more to it. According to Harvard Female's Health Watch stubborn belly fat is even worse than hip and also thigh fat in terms of health risks.

The Bad News

If you have an interest in the science: the gist of it is that tummy fat often tends to be natural fat, i.e. below the abdominal wall surfaces as well as bordering the inner body organs. This type of fat is even worse for you than the surface-level (subcutaneous, i.e. just listed below the skin) fat since it produces even more of retinol-binding healthy protein 4 (RBP4) which increases insulin resistance (which can cause diabetes mellitus as well as a host of various other illness). The more visceral fat you have the more RBP4 is secreted into your bloodstream. Not good.

The other issue is that as we age the percentage of fat to bodyweight tends to enhance, as well as fat starts to favour being saved in the upper body over the hips and also upper legs. Which suggests that also if you do not put on weight, you waistline can grow by inches as the visceral fat pushes out versus your stomach wall. As well as sorry to be the holder of poor information, yet ladies, we're more at risk to this than males. Harvard! Why did you need to obtain all science-y on us ?!

The Great News

As with everything in life however, there's always a silver-lining (you really did not assume I would certainly simply leave you there did ya?). The terrific news is that natural fat responds really, truly well to exercise and diet regimen. Better, in reality, than fat on the hips as well as upper legs. Which means that you can get the level, sexy tummy you have actually constantly wanted, if you agree to place in the initiative and do what jobs. Which leads us nicely to ... what does not work!

Belly Fat Myths

Crunches = Sexy stomach

Remember how I said 1000 grinds a day alone will not provide you a toned stubborn belly? It's not that problems aren't a great exercise (although there are much better exercises, see the workout listed below) yet the primary reason is: you can not identify minimize fat! What this means is that you can't target a certain location of your body to selectively lose fat. So it matters not the amount of problems, sit-ups or ab-blaster device representatives you do, it won't give you a flat stomach unless you do several of the various other things I'm going to tell you regarding in a moment. Not just that, however there are far better abdominal exercises than crunches which you might be doing.

It's all about exercise

I wish this held true. Would not it be excellent to exercise as well as eat cupcakes, pizza, ice-cream and also everything else you desired ... as well as still have the ability to walk with a six-pack? I have actually tried this, and I can tell you for a truth: it doesn't function. This does not mean you need to consume a flawlessly clean diet plan - where's the enjoyable because - yet you do need to eat tidy the majority of the moment. I've found that you can actually enjoy consuming a tidy diet plan due to the fact that you retrain your body to delight in food which is actually healthy and balanced. I recognize it appears insane, yet it's true!

Just do cardio

Yes, aerobics are great for fat loss, however they're not the be-all and end-all. Make certain you incorporate several of these ideas if you wish to boost weight loss when you do cardio.

So now that I have actually covered a few of the fitness misconceptions you may have had, you might be questioning what you should be doing instead. Well stay, due to the fact that I'm concerning to inform you ...

How To Get A Sexy Stomach Fast

Now I recognize this write-up isn't labelled 'Shed Belly Fat Actually Freakin' Slowly' however there is a healthy rate most individuals must lose weight: 1 - 2 pounds each week. Yes, this isn't as fast as some people would such as, but it's the healthy and balanced alternative, plus you're less likely to shed muscular tissue in addition to the fat - which would be a negative thing, because muscle mass assists you melt fat. To put it simply, it's not going to take 3 days, it can take weeks or more probable, months.

And if you want visible abdominal muscles, that's a whole 'nother pot of fish. Initially, there are the biological factors, particularly: your genes and sex. Females need to have greater body fat percentages than guys to be healthy, this often indicates they can not have noticeable abdominals revealing as well as additionally go to a healthy and balanced, lasting body-fat. Even so, because of genetics, some ladies do have visible abs at healthy and balanced body-fat percentages. You need to do the finest you can with the genetics you have, not utilize them as a justification. Same thing goes for individuals, yet they can get away with lower healthy body-fat percents, thus the six-pack.

The other concern with getting noticeable abdominal muscles is it needs you to follow a clean diet plan a great deal more purely (once more, relying on your genetics). So you can decide if it's worth that extra commitment or otherwise (and as long as you can keep a healthy body fat).

The excellent news is despite your sex or genetics you can still get an attractive, toned tummy ... get much healthier as well as look wonderful nude. So allow's chat concerning just how to do that!

Tips To Lose Tummy Fat and Obtain An Attractive Stomach

There are actually just 3 tricks to obtaining a level tummy: exercise, a tidy and healthy and balanced diet and getting enough sleep. These are the 3 huge ones, they form the foundation of losing belly fat and getting a sexy belly. At the exact same time there are a great deal of points you can do to compliment these and improve your fat loss, which I'll consist of in a moment.

First, let's go right into a little bit more information on these 3 tricks:

Exercise

You should intend to do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity workout most days. If you increase the duration as well as intensity of the workout you'll shed much more fat, quicker.

Combine cardio with stamina training

Most people turn to aerobic workout for fat loss, yet you will certainly increase your weight loss significantly by combining cardio workout with toughness training. This is since toughness training constructs muscular tissue and also muscular tissue burns fat (i.e. raises your metabolic price). Muscular tissue also takes up less area than fat, so although you may not drop weight ... you will lose fat as well as obtain a smaller sized waist and also even more toned belly - which is exactly why you should not make use of the ranges to judge your weight loss! Not only that, it's inadequate to just concentrate on abdominal workouts, you also intend to do whole-body training specifically making use of substance workouts like squats, deadlifts and also shoulder presses.

Eat clean and healthy

' Abdominals are made in the cooking area. 30% exercise, 70% diet. You can not out-exercise a poor diet.' You have actually probably heard those before, and they merely show just how essential a clean, healthy diet regimen is to shedding stomach fat. The important point is to devote to it as well as follow it constantly, to the very best of your capability. It's not concerning perfection, it has to do with sticking to it as best you can as well as obtaining back on when you occasionally drop off. You could create an entire publication on tidy eating (and also that's been done) but I'll offer you the standard rules below, daily:

Eat lean healthy protein, complicated carbs and also healthy and balanced fats.

Eat lots of veggies, specifically cruciferous and also dark green leafy vegetables.

Eat some fruits.

Drink water (9 mugs for ladies, 13 for males). That's complete water quantity, i.e. counting various other beverages.

For losing stubborn belly fat, there is proof that you gain much less visceral fat the a lot more calcium you take in. Yogurt, cheese, sardines, kale are all great resources of calcium.

Avoid all processed and improved foods. This suggests sugar, white flour, candies, baked goods etc.

Avoid sodas as well as juices. Don't drink your calories, obtain your calories from food.

Avoid junk food.

Especially for losing stubborn belly fat, stay clear of foods which appear to urge it: hydrogenated vegetable oils as well as fructose-sweetened foods and also beverages.

No alcohol.

Looking at the checklist above, you might be a bit daunted, but remember it's more vital to take little incremental steps which you can keep, than trying to do everything at the same time and lasting a month. I'm talking from experience below: add a little bit each time, possibly a couple of items weekly, get an excellent feeling for it and after that relocate onto the next products in the checklist. If I needed to pick two to begin with, I 'd pick to up my veggie consumption substantially and also reduce way down on sodas and juices. Pick what help you and don't hesitate to experiment.

Get enough sleep

But not too much. A five-year research showed that grownups that got less than 5 hrs sleep an evening gathered dramatically more visceral fat ... yet those that rested greater than 8 hrs a night also obtained even more visceral fat. 6 - 8 hrs seems like an excellent array. Interestingly, this wasn't the case for individuals over 40 - that stated growing older didn't have benefits!

Boost fat loss with these tips

Try out some of the 101 weight loss pointers to boost your weight loss. Bear in mind, the 3 above are the core structure of what you require to do, but by including some of these ideas they can include up to a collective impact of higher fat loss.

The Workout

Phew! Okay, now that we've laid the foundation for obtaining the limited, toned, attractive stomach you desire, allow's jump on to the exercising component. So we have actually assembled an ab-licious workout which focuses not just on the front component of your stomach (rectus abdominis), yet also on the sides (obliques) as well as a lot more notably the deep internal stomach muscles (transverse abdominis). When the majority of people think regarding abdominal muscles, they think of the usually looked for after six-pack or eight-pack in the front, as well as by the way, obtaining an eight-pack is purely to genetics, there is no workout or amount of exercise which can offer you an eight-pack if you don't have that stomach separation genetically speaking.

Sometimes individuals consist of the obliques (typically viewed as the groves to either side of the rectus abdominis, e.g. right here as well as right here) yet very couple of individuals consist of the transverse abdominis (TVA), which are the deep internal stomach muscles. Currently the incredible point concerning the TVA muscular tissues is that they function as an all-natural bodice for your body, cinching in you core - in other words, strengthening these muscles can give you a smaller sized midsection. Not just that, however your TVA muscular tissues become part of the foundational core you use in almost every compound exercise, so obtaining more powerful right here is definitely a great thing!

Now, every stomach workout you do jobs every one of your stomach muscles, yet there's one exercise I enjoy which especially targets your TVA muscle mass: the abdominal vacuum cleaner (you can see exactly how it's carried out in the video below). This is an amazing workout for strengthening your inner core and the wonderful point is you can do them anywhere. You can do the ab vacuum alone, but also for ideal efficiency it's finest to combine them with a kegel which leads right into the abdominal vacuum cleaner, so by doing this you strengthen both your pelvic floor muscle mass along with the TVA muscular tissues. Boom! Better sex and a flatter tummy - you win!

Pin this workout:

Apples fried in beer batter

Okay, so this is a bit of a weird one, but trust me when I say that it’s a delicious dessert. The last time I made these was with friends and we were so busy eating them fresh out of the pan that I forgot to take pictures until we ended up with the last batch of oddly shaped apple bits. Since the beer batter itself isn’t sweet, you can also repurpose it and use it to deep fry fish or vegetables.

Also, a little heads up: If you don’t drink alcohol for whatever reason, you can absolutely make these with alcohol-free beer. I’ve done it before when cooking with Muslim friends, and it turned out the same as always.

Instructions and ingredients under the cut!

Ingredients:

200 g flour

1 tablespoon oil

150 ml beer

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 apples

2 teaspoons of starch

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar

enough vegetable oil (or another oil with a high smoke point) to fill your pan up with 1 cm of oil (for shallow frying) or enough to fill your deep fryer

Instructions:

Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk them with salt, oil and beer. Add sifted flour and mix until it is all incorporated. You want it to have a consistency that will completely cover your apples without dripping everywhere, so if you feel like it’s too drippy, add more flour. If you feel like it’s too stiff to cover your apples add more beer, or alternatively a bit of milk. Let the batter rest in the bowl for half an hour while you prepare everything else. Peel the apples. If you have a corer, you can use it to take out the core and cut the apples into rings that are half a centimetre thick. But if you are like me and don’t have one, cut them in half, take out the core and then cut them into half-centimetre moon-shaped slices. Toss the apple slices in starch. That will help the batter stick to them.

Now it’s time to get your oil ready. If you are using a deep fryer, set it to 180°C and wait until it gets up to temperature. If you are using a pan, fill it with oil so that you have a one-centimetre thick layer of it and put it on medium-high heat. If you stick in a wooden spoon and bubbles start forming around it, the oil is up to frying temperature.

Use the time while your oil is heating up to make the cinnamon sugar mixture and put all your apple slices in the bowl with the batter. Mix them around gently so they are all evenly coated in the batter. You could also just dredge them through the batter as you go, but this is quicker and less messy, in my opinion.

When your oil is up to temperature and your apples are battered, it’s time to deep/shallow fry. Use tongs to transfer the apples into the pan/deep fryer. It’s best to make multiple batches and not to overcrowd the pan/fryer. I usually go with four to six slices at a time. If you are deep frying, use a slotted spoon to keep them moving in the oil for ~10 mins. For shallow frying, turn them over after ~5 mins. This is not an exact science, but basically, they are done once they are golden brown all around. I’ve had days when it went quicker and days when it took longer. Maybe it’s because I use a different brand of beer every time. I can’t tell you. The ones in the picture above could’ve gone a little longer, my friends and I were just really done with the whole frying thing at that point.

Once the batter is as browned as you want it, take the apples out with a slotted spoon and put them on a piece of paper towel to drain. While they are still hot, sprinkle over the cinnamon sugar (or leave them as is if that’s not your thing). Then put in the next batch.

Depending on the size of your apples you will be left with some more batter at the bottom of your bowl. You can take spoonfuls of the batter and fry it in the oil to make crispy pancakes.

This amount of apples and batter was enough for me and two more people, but we barely ate anything else that evening.

Story

I remember growing up in the South-west of England and always loving pasties, but none of the ones you could buy in the shops ever compared to my mother's offerings.

She was definitely a savory pastry queen, being Cornish meant she would always say that while you can put what you want in a pasty, a ‘proper’ Cornish pasty only has these basic ingredients, Beef, Swede (yellow turnip or Rutabaga), potato and onion.

With a little seasoning, I have to admit that until my mother was well into her 80’s anytime I went home the request would go in for Pasties to be made, preferably at the end of the visit so I could take one or two home as well, I now make my own, but I’m always comparing them to my mothers so no matter how well I make them, they always seem to fall short of what I remember. Also, they are something that takes a little practice so if the first attempt doesn’t quite work out, have another go.

Ingredients

12 oz (340 gm) Plain Flour

3 oz (85 gm) Butter

3 oz (85 gm) Lard

(You can use all butter, however, the pastry may crack under the stress during cooking, Lard gives it an elasticity which works better)

Pinch of Salt

A little cold water

Method

Place the flour and fat in a bowl, and gradually rub in the fat using your fingers, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, with no lumps of fat, add the salt and then very slowly add small amounts of water and mix until the pastry comes together.

When the pastry comes together, gently knead on a floured surface and then wrap in cling film or place in a plastic bag and chill for at least an hour, preferably overnight, before rolling out.

Pasty Filling

6 oz (170 gm) Swede - chipped

12 oz (340 gm) Skirt Beef (Hanger Steak) – cut into quarter to half inch (half centimetre to one centimetre dice)

12 oz (340 gm) Potato - chipped

1 large or 2medium White Onions, Roughly chopped

Salt & Pepper to season

Whole Milk

(chipping vegetables – take the vegetable, and cut a small piece off the side, the idea is to get a piece roughly about the size of a €2/£2/$1 coin, and of a similar thickness, the just keep chipping away at the vegetable, but don’t worry about being exact)

Preheat the oven to 180c (Fan 160c) (360 F/Gas Mark 4)

Roll out the pastry to approx. ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thick, cut a circle of the pastry, I use a large dinner plate as a template, then place approx. 2oz of Swede, 6oz of Skirt Beef and Potato, with some onion on one half of the pastry, season to taste with salt and pepper, brush a little milk around the edge of the pastry disc.

Carefully fold the empty half of the pastry over the top of the filling, the pasty should look very full at this point as the filling will shrink slightly, then seal the edges so the pasty is a semi-circular design, the traditional method is crimping of the pastry, which involves using your finger and thumb, push down on the pastry, and then fold it over, the end result should look like a rope around the edge of the pasty.

However as long as the pasty is sealed, any method will work for sealing it, either pinching the edges together or using an implement such as a fork will also work

When the pasty is sealed, place it on a baking tray, brush it lightly over the top with milk.

Place the baking tray with all pasties on it on the middle shelf of the oven, for approx. 45 minutes, check after 30 minutes until the pastries are golden brown if your pasties aren’t browning increase the oven temperature by 10c/25f for the last 10 minutes.

Rest for 1 or 2 minutes serve hot, but you can also let them go cold and have the next day.

I don’t have a picture of a pasty I made, so have added a stock picture to show the seal on the edge.

As an alternative as well, I sometimes make a pie with the same recipe, just instead of making individual parcels, I use two-thirds of the pastry in the bottom of a 24cm pie dish, and then the rest for the lid.

How Not To Diet with Dr. Michael Greger

I’ve learn my fair proportion of food regimen books. But by no means have I learn something as thorough in its analysis and inspiring in its messaging than How Not to Diet by Dr. Michael Greger, MD, FACLM.

“Diets don’t work by definition,” he explains, merely. “Going on a diet implies that, at some point, you will go off the diet. Short-term fixes are no match for long-term problems. Lifelong weight control requires lifelong lifestyle changes.”

But for many people, checking out which adjustments to make will be an exhausting endeavor.

That’s the place How Not to Diet is available in. Dr. Greger’s new ebook doesn’t simply take a look at the analysis. It researches the analysis. It meticulously evaluates the information and involves its personal conclusions by doing what nearly nobody else bothers to do: cross-examining and citing the outcomes from virtually 5 thousand completely different research. Only then does he definitively say how we must always eat for optimum well being.

For a style, listed here are our 5 greatest takeaways from studying How Not to Diet with insights from Dr. Michael Greger, himself.

5 Lessons From How Not to Diet with Dr. Michael Greger

1. A calorie is not only a calorie

“In medical school, we were taught that a calorie from one source is just as fattening as a calorie from any other source,” Dr. Greger recollects. “Biochemically, a calorie is a calorie, but in real life, far from it.”

For instance, he shares, 100 energy of chickpeas impacts the physique in another way than 100 energy of hen, or 100 energy of chiclets, for that matter. Why? Because these meals are all made up of very various things. Different substances have completely different results on absorption, urge for food, our microbiomes, and extra.

“Different foods rev up or down your appetite. And it’s not what you eat, but what you absorb,” Dr. Greger shares. “Fiber, for example, in whole intact plant foods can trap calories and flush them out the other end.” But extra on that later…

“Even if you eat and absorb the same number of calories, a calorie may still not be a calorie,” he continues. “The same number of calories eaten at a different time of the day or after different amounts of sleep can translate into different amounts of body fat. Even the exact same foods eaten differently can have different effects. So, it’s not only what we eat but also how and when.”

2. Research helps a whole-food, plant-based food regimen

When it involves what to eat to drop pounds, a method of consuming shines by all of the analysis.

“Indeed, we have experimental confirmation: A whole-food, plant-based diet was found to be the single most effective weight-loss intervention ever published in the medical literature,” Dr. Greger says. “[It’s been] proven in a randomized controlled trial with no portion control, no calorie counting, no exercise component: the most effective ever.”

Unsure what that appears like? He elaborates: “We should eat real food that grows out of the ground, natural foods that come from fields, not factories, from gardens, not garbage, a diet centered around whole plant foods—and it is completely within our control to do so.”

In his ebook, Dr. Greger reviews seventeen key elements that encourage weight reduction and the way a whole-food, plant-based food regimen completely helps these pointers.

“The foods we eat and, in fact, our meals and entire dietary patterns should be anti-inflammatory, clean from industrial pollutants, high in fiber and water, and low in high glycemic and addictive foods, added fat and sugar, calorie density, meat, refined grains, and salt. They should also be low insulin index, friendly to our friendly flora, particularly satiating, and rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as legumes.”

three. Fiber is your buddy

Forget counting carbs and protein consumption. As it seems, what you actually have to be taking note of is your fiber consumption.

“Less than 3 percent of Americans get even the recommended minimum adequate intake of fiber,” says Dr. Greger. “On average, we only get about 15 grams a day. The minimum daily requirement is 31.5 grams, so most of us are getting less than half the minimum. Men are particularly deficient.”

This is dangerous information, he tells us, as dietary fiber consumption may help shield us towards the danger of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, excessive ldl cholesterol, hypertension, excessive blood sugar, and rather more.

“In fact, if I had to give just one piece of advice to best sum up my recommended weight-loss boosters, it would be about fiber: Wall off your calories,” Dr. Greger emphasizes.

To perceive, we now have to take a look at the mobile degree. Animal cells have simply digestible membranes, Dr. Greger explains. This permits our intestine to simply entry the energy in animal merchandise. By distinction, fiber acts as an indigestible bodily barrier in plant cell partitions and traps extra energy in. That means once we eat plant-based meals, extra energy transfer by our system as an alternative of being saved away as fats for later.

This can also be the place the “whole food” a part of a whole-food, plant-based food regimen turns into essential. Dr. Greger shares that processing plant meals into issues like fruit juice, sugar, refined grains, and even flour destroys the mobile construction and cracks open cell partitions. Once once more, this renders the energy too simply accessible for our our bodies.

“When you eat structurally intact plant foods, you can chew all you want but you’ll still end up with calories completely encapsulated by fiber,” Dr. Greger explains. “[This] then blunts the glycemic impact, activates what’s called the ileal brake that dials down appetite, and delivers sustenance to your friendly flora.”

Feeding this pleasant flora encourages our our bodies to supply short-chain fatty acids that take in from the colon into our bloodstream. After circulating all through our physique, the short-chain fatty acids then attain the mind to sign that we’re full. Consequently, this tells our physique to lower urge for food and enhance metabolism.

“When diets are deficient in fiber, we are in effect starving our microbial selves. So, try to make sure as many of your calories—whether from protein, carbs, or fat—are encased in cell walls. In other words, get as many of your calories from whole, intact, plant foods.”

four. In addition to what you eat, once you eat issues

Enter chronobiology. The scientific time period for optimizing your physique’s pure every day rhythms.

“Chronobiology is the study of how our bodies’ natural cycles—mental, physical, and emotional—are affected by the rhythms of the sun, moon, and seasons,” Dr. Greger says. For weight reduction, we will study lots about how the time of day impacts our digestion. “Interestingly, because of our circadian rhythms, morning calories don’t appear to count as much as evening calories.”

To work along with your physique’s pure rhythm, he presents this expression to remember: “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper.” In different phrases, contemplate making breakfast your largest meal of the day and dinner the smallest. It seems consuming the identical variety of energy within the morning is much less fattening than consuming the identical variety of energy within the night. But why?

“One reason is that more calories are burned off in the morning due to diet-induced thermogenesis, the amount of energy the body takes to digest and process a meal, given off in part as waste heat,” Dr. Greger says.

“When people are given the exact same meal in the morning, afternoon, and at night, their body uses up about 25 percent more calories to process the meal in the afternoon than at night and about 50 percent more calories to digest it in the morning. That leaves fewer net calories in the morning to be stored as fat.”

5. even small tweaks every day could make a distinction

While adopting a whole-food, plant-based food regimen as a baseline ought to supply outcomes alone, in his ebook, Dr. Greger additionally presents twenty-one tweaks you may incorporate into your every day routine to help extra weight reduction.

Here are the highest three tweaks Dr. Greger suggests prioritizing:

Drink two cups of chilly water earlier than every meal to assist enhance your metabolism.

Preload earlier than meals with “negative calorie foods.” This consists of an apple, gentle inexperienced soup, or salad, containing fewer than 100 energy per cup. Doing so will satiate you earlier than the primary course, lowering the chance of overindulging in higher-calorie meals.

Fast after 7:00 PM. “The fewer calories after sundown, the better,” Dr. Greger affirms.

For extra weight reduction insights, search for How Not to Diet at a bookstore close to you or discover extra of Dr. Greger’s analysis and writing at NutritionFacts.org. You can even simply entry his twenty-one tweaks and urged every day servings for a complete meals, plant-based food regimen on his very useful Daily Dozen app.

Family

I promise this one’s not sad and mushy. If there’s a feeling akin to what I feel for my father, it is the feeling of being around my family. I just cringe. I might not have been directly affected, directly, but it still gives me enough reason to turn on them. It’s always been a typical small-town family story with them. And for long as I remember, I’ve tried to get my two bits in on it. Whenever that happened, they shushed me. Said I was a girl. I was too young. This is ‘adult talk’. Well now I’m all grown up, and back for my questions. I want to line them all up and have them answer each one. I am going to stick to this side of my relations because that’s the only one that counts. I was born the first grandchild in my mother’s family. I was tossed back and forth between my father’s family and my mothers. My grandpa loved me to bits, but he was overpowered by my grandma who had eyes only for her son. Her son’s first child would be the first time she considered herself a grandma. In my early years when I did live with them, in the ancestral house in Erode, I felt like dough. Not even wheat dough, just dough made of flour. I had a big white chubby face and I was forever frowning. The amount of frowning that went in for 5 years made my mom force me to pull my lips back, consciously, during our time in the US. But that’s not the point. The point was that I was confused, sad, and annoyed all the time. Why? Let’s take a look at the key characters. My aunt. My mom’s younger sister by 8 years; believed that she was the best thing that happened to me. She would spend all her time looking after me and in return she wanted me to show the world that I loved her. She would tell me every day before going to school - “When you come back, chithi will be here on the balcony. When I see the school auto approaching I will call your name and run down the steps. And that exact moment you have to get down and run towards me saying Chiti! When we meet, we should have eyes on us and you should hug me.” I followed this schedule to the tee. I knew there was a mother, and that my mother was elsewhere. But since I had no idea what mothers were meant to do, I believed my Chiti was my sole caretaker in life. I believed whatever she said. I looked at her in awe when she combed her hair and stood twisting her neck to check her hairstyles. That’s maybe why when i was asked to draw whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, I drew her. When I grow up, I want to be her. Not anymore, jeez.

My grandma. Indirani, who still doesn’t know how old she is. Fierce-blooded enough to pass on the courage to all her off springs. The great admin of the house who takes my grandpa’s money and dishes out his allowances. Expert cook, workhorse, short-tempered, illogical, heartless. Her illogical behavior goes down to the time when she almost set the house on fire and blamed her Bhagwan. She stated that she was supposed to give some money for the temple’s charity and it was because she had refused that god set fire to her pillow in the dead of the night. What actually happened; she kicked her leg pillow in sleep to the mosquito coil and the cotton fibers were ablaze. What fun. My early memories of her include chasing me around our house, through rooms even, to feed me an omelette. She almost brandished me with the steel turner before my chiti stepped in and saved me. One scar less, yay. My grandpa; a handsome guy even with his snow-white hair. He was awake before me, ironing my uniform. He fed me my breakfast, cycled me to school and back. He loved me like he loved my mom, maybe more. Out of this three children, he loved mom the most or so everyone claimed. Diplomat, sarcastic, calm, a real softie on the inside. He used to wear his green belt and leave for Sabarimala every year and I would miss him sore. The way his aftershave crystal would gleam in the light filtering through the gooseberry trees. His soft cotton veshti when I sat on his lap and played with his white mustache. His balding head and the lion-like breathing when I napped on top of his big belly. He was probably the one person in the family who had the power to make things right again. But when the time came for him to speak up about my mother’s marriage, he sat silent and let things happen. That’s why he ends up on this list too. My uncle, Ravi. Eldest son, diagnosed with a lot of health problems when born. Maybe 10 years of his life went in building his health to normal with tonic, medicines, creams, and injections. Rumor had it that he was the brightest kid on the block when he was small, opening up radios and causing trouble just to learn new things. He was also hard-skinned. All those years of yucky medicines had made him immune to pain. As he was always getting into fights, my grandma would drag him to the kitchen, shut the door, and hit him with a wooden stick. After an hour the door would unlock, my mama would walk out coolly and my grandma would’ve fainted from exhaustion. I remember him eating in huge quantities in large bites, and shaking his leg when he needed to sleep. I remember seeing him taking a long afternoon nap in the prime years of his life when my grandpa slogged to keep the family going. This cherished son that my grandma so loved shared so many qualities with my father and I didn’t like that. What were they thinking getting my naive mother married to my father? The entire town was against it, they said we have checked out the guy in his hometown and it’s not good news. Who among these people decided their word to the other family was more important than their daughter’s future? It had to be my grandma. My aunt had already packed some bags for mom to run away with the guy who came asking for my mom’s hand in marriage. He was a mechanical engineer, and he was in love with mom. He wore rose pink just because someone told him that’s the color mom liked. Against his complexion, he was a laughing joke for the rest of the day. When he proposed mom, my mom said the only way she could love him is if she becomes his wife. And so, a potential groom marched to our house with his family and auspicious paraphernalia. He was turned down by grandpa, who just had a change of heart after discussing with my grandma. No surprise there. Immediately they looked for an alternate groom, found my father and gave their word. The son of a school principal, we can’t go wrong they thought. Like that defines everything. My mom didn’t even see my father before the day of her wedding. And my aunt made a disgusted face at him. He was really no match for my mom. They were polar opposites. In education, height, color, and heart. But what was done was done. The problem started when my mom brought up her married life as she was visiting my grandpa. She said that ‘these people are a bit dangerous.’ And before my grandpa could comment my grandma sealed my mom’s fate by saying ‘that’s what all newly married woman say. You have to stick it out. That is your home now.’ The same woman who gossips about other families and how irresponsible they are with their daughters, was now being a hypocrite. My mom, being the good woman she was, went back and listed to all the whims and fancies of my father’s family. They laughed at her, said they had scored a jackpot. They went a step further to see if mom would take the bait. They sent her to the US to earn money for them. And she did. She missed the weddings of her brother and her sister. They didn’t particularly tell her until the last week and she couldn’t come. It was clear that she was outcasted as soon as she was married. The first time I started standing up for my mom was when we were in Chennai. We visited the ancestral house now and then, and whenever that happened I saw how she was treated. And I hated it. I couldn’t understood why my brilliant mom would back down in front of her family and hang her head whenever the topic of her life came about. What’s wrong with the way we lived it? What about her is a disappointment? But like mentioned earlier, I was shushed. My aunt especially did it more because she still believed I listened to her more than I listened to my mom. When it was time for the divorce, my mom went through with it alone. She didn’t have a single person from her family go with her to court. She insisted that I not come. One of her close friends went along with her instead. That day the judge saw a divorce case that featured 13 people on my father’s side and just one on my mother’s. He shook his head murmuring that women who earn abroad build up too much ego and think they can shed their husbands off. That’s how it looked, thanks to my family. I can’t forgive them for this still, but by mom did. Like she always did. Because they were family. I never understood how we have to love people and commit to doing things for them just because we’re tied by blood. They were humans too, they had equal chances of messing up just like other people. I was all fine with cutting off my father, a few more people wasn’t a big deal. But I could see that it meant a lot to my mother. When we returned back to India, she made the decision of settling in Bangalore. ‘Not where they are’ I had said when mom asked if I had a place in mind. I was happy with all the miles and oceans between us and them and now it felt like we would be swallowed into their black hole. For 3 whole years we didn’t hear a word from my family. They knew we had moved to India, but it didn’t occur to anyone to check up on my mother. Her college friend in Bangalore housed us, fed us, found a new place for us. Her other friends who had relatives in India sent them to us and we went about building our life all over again. When the hard bits were over, there came a call. And I knew what would happen next. Just like always, my mom pushed aside those years of being ignored and taken advantage of. She asked me to pack my bag and we went to see them. There was great commotion over us coming back. At the gate, we had a tiny welcome party that was ironically crying. It all felt fake. The ancestral house had been redone, rooms on different floors rented out. With my aunt living in Chennai, this house now belonged to my grandparents and their son’s family. As my mama had failed college, the means for money were short. All they had was the house. I was angered by that. What was stopping him from learning and still standing on his two feet? The railing paint had flaked off, the smell of metal was strong in my hands. The ceiling retained the heat, the red cement flooring was replaced with tiles. Everything had changed, but the people were the same. I wasn’t going to forgive them. Not for what they did to my mom. Years passed like this; me holding my grudge, my mom emptying out the coffers for our future. It is for our family, it can’t be counted she said. I tried telling her that this blindness was going to land her in big trouble. But life’s the real teacher, not me. My grandpa was diagnosed with testicular cancer. It was one of the most treatable cases of cancer, with 50% of the population affected. And yet, we lost him. For his last Diwali, he came to Bangalore. We were running tests and checking for various treatments, but we hadn’t told him. He spent a few weeks with us, his final burst of energy. I made him coffee with grounds instead of the instant powder. He didn’t point out my mistake. The minute he saw me wear my shoes to head to school, he would slowly ask about a nail cutter, or his glasses, just to annoy me. When mom came home, I would launch into my complaints about him and he would just sit there and relish it all. How I loved him so. When we started taking him outside Erode for the tests, that’s when he suspected that we were hiding something. And the minute we took him to Ramkrishna, he just knew. 10 days after that, he lost 60% of his weight. 3 days after that, he was bedridden. 1 week later, tubes were going in and coming out of him. My grandma had to help him pee and that just hurt him so much. His pain was unbearable for us all. When nothing else could be done, we brought him home. He drew up a list of people he wanted to see. We had a 2-day reunion with broken families, his school friends, and all his relatives. They all came to see him. He was mentally prepared to die. He said, don’t cry for me, because I’m already happy. I sang a song to him, he closed his eyes, and his purple, thin lips spread out. He left us like a dream. I felt intensely for this death. The mourners were all around me, but I just couldn’t cry. It just wasn’t something I did. His body wasn’t even taken from the house, but the fights had begun. As whispers and among the shadows. My chiti was talking about how mom and her had spent for all the treatment. How unfair is it that we’re three children mourning for him now but only two took care of him? There was talk among people that my grandpa wrote a will and my grandma had tampered with it. It turned out this was true. The lawyer my grandpa brought wrote down the will equally for his three children and my grandma tried to get the same lawyer to give a bigger share to my mama. Her true self started showing. She soon left the ancestral house to live in the village. She started farming. She didn’t want to spend time with us despite everyone telling her to move in with mom and me in Bangalore. She said she didn’t want to life the rest of her life for someone else. I found that extremely contradictory. Her roots, her advice, didn’t point to the same rule for her daughter or anyone else. The storm was brewing, but it wouldn’t break until the family did something to me, personally.

The reason I gave the background into their characters is just so that you can see what kind of madness they get up to. In all the years when my mom was trying to make it work with my father, they turned a blind eye. My father would call up by grandma and say ‘look what a witch you’ve married me to’ and she would promptly advice my mother. When this storm broke, they were still of the belief that it was my mother who messed up her own marriage and maybe it could be fixed. Even after a divorce? What? For my summer break I decided to go village hopping with my grandma and show face to the people I haven’t seen in ages. There were people who did nothing, and those who did. In my eyes they were both contributed to the mess, but their children didn’t have to pay for it. I was the eldest, and I have to admit there was some affection there. The way they crowded over you to hear all your made-up stories. When I told my grandma, she was thrilled. I was used to having neutral conversations, a forever cold war. Where was this coming from? It was odd. I almost didn’t notice it in the first two villages we visited. But then there was a pattern. Everyone asked my grandma about my marriage, in front of me. I was hardly 17. She answered that there’s so many of eligible cousins (inter-family marriages are normal with us). This conversation played out always in front of me. In all the 8 places we visited, without fail, it happened. Then when I actually went to the house of ‘the most eligible cousin’ the conversations were amplified. The people of the house were building a temporary shower area outside as ‘I might freak out in the pond’. My grandma casually slipped it in that no matter who she marries, it will still be a sad affair without her father. The other members chimed in. They said the town will talk about my mother. Unnecessary questions would be raised. Divorce was too progressive for our community. Then it hit me. They were all trying to brainwash me. All this child-marriage talk was just a lead up to me saying ‘Yes, I want my father back.’ I quickly dusted my hand of the dirt and walked away. The conversation died as well. For then. When I got back to the ancestral house, my mind was not mine anymore. Hours and hours of hearing the same thing had deprived by brain of common sense. I then endured 2 days of the same thing, with more intensity. My mama and his wife took me around town showing all the marriage halls where I could potentially have my wedding. My grandma cooked only one meal a day trying to starve me into calling my mom and convincing her. I felt like a pawn, the last chess piece on the board and they were doing all they can to try and obey their will. The discussions ran late into the night. The mornings started with whispers of whether I will do it or not. When time started running out, they sat me down on a chair. Handed me the phone and stood around me, forcing me to call my mother. It was going to be for the good of my mom, they repeated. Do I want to see her all alone? And so I did cave and call. I thought if they felt this much about my mom, it must be for her good. I dialed, my mom picked up with her cheery voice. I didn’t stall; I jumped straight to it. “Do you think we can live with dad again?” there was an upheaval of bodies around me. “Why-- why are you asking that kuttima?” my mom’s voice cracked, she was scared “What if I want him back mom?” And at that I shook my head fully knowing that I wasn’t doing the right thing, but I hoped she would have the answer to shake me from the spell. Instead she started crying and then yelling. “Is that really you saying all this? Tell me clearly, I think I will kill myself for hearing these words.” My mom could be dramatic. “Yes” I said sighing loudly. “You’re not my daughter. What have they done to you!” she yelled it so many times that I snapped awake. By then, the phone fell away from my hand and I heard another mobile phone ring. My mom was screaming on the other side to my grandma saying bring my daughter back. I closed my eyes and cried within. This was happening again. Earlier she had begged my father to bring me to the US. And now I had caused this mess; she was begging for me again.

When the train pulled up at night in Bangalore, the cold wind nipped at my skin. Seeing her there, in person, I felt horrible for all the things I had asked and said. I had just become like one of them. Left her all alone; exited the two-member world we had built. As soon as I got down, my mom handed some money and our house address on a chit to my grandma and yanked me away. She didn’t want anything to do with them, and she was angry with me for switching sides. I came clean that night itself and told her that I regret every word. I also made a promise that I will not let anyone tell me what to think and say. My mom continues to pack her bags and run whenever anything goes wrong in our hometown. She has a big heart, she forgives. Recently she rushed because my cousin brother had met with an accident. In all the chaos, someone questioned her for being in her own father’s house. What they meant was ‘why are you bothering yourself with this when there are already so many people.’ My mom broke down and called me to tell ‘I thought I was family. Now they’re asking me to get out.’ In my head I felt like asking my mom what did you expect from our family. Always, always expect the worst. I asked my mom to get back home pronto. I just lost it. I took control for the two of us and decided when we go, when we talk, everything. I wanted them to know they cannot act like this and expect to be forgiven every single time. I stopped talking to all of them, even my cousins. They tried to visit, I stayed with my friend for the entire period. They called me from different numbers and I just kept repeating that I cannot forgive them. I miss the good parts, but everyone needs to be kept where you need them. An inch closer and it’s akin to setting yourself on fire. I wasn’t going to do the same mistake twice.

Till date when my grandma visits, she compares our house with that of her son’s. When my aunt comes from from the US, she tries to pull her daughter away because I look fair skinned next to her. My mama still asks my mom for money to buy milk when he stays with us. A hypocrite, racist, and miser. I shake my head at the way my family turned out to be. And then I turn away to see what else has happened in all these years. There’s very rarely a friend of my mother’s who doesn’t know me, and vice-versa. After the divorce, my mom assigned guardians in case anything was ever to happen to her. Her college mates who married each other and loved me with all their heart. And they were like family to me. Tracing back, I realize that her friends stood by us no matter what. In every town, a few hours away, or right down the block -- they were always one phone call away. Angels in their own right. Whenever mom falls sick, I admit her in the hospital alone. I do every part of it alone because I believe mom and I can handle each other in sickness and in health. And when I do reach out for help, it is instinctively her friends and not my relatives. We assume that in life, we have only one family. That we are bound to them and share our lives with them. In my case, mom and I earned another family of our own, that of her friends and my friends. Now, I feel nothing is lacking. My two biological sides maybe be a mess and basket-cases but I got a true family like everyone else. And it doesn’t matter if we’re not blood-bound.

Healthy Baking: 9 Gluten-Free Flour Alternatives Your Body Will Love

Going gluten-free is not just a Hollywood trend. Today, more individuals than ever are acquiring, cooking, and also consuming gluten-free foods. Virtually one-third of Americans claim they're trying to ditch the sticky protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. You may be wondering, 'Why?'

For some individuals, dumping gluten is necessary. Anyone who struggles with Celiac Condition or has a gluten level of sensitivity must avoid it like the pester for health and wellness reasons. Other individuals pick this way of living, wishing it will certainly improve their food digestion or aid them drop a few extra pounds. Despite the reason, many people going gluten-free seem to have one huge worry - ' Just what the hell am I mosting likely to eat?'

I have some excellent information for you. Going gluten-free doesn't imply you need to provide up on scrumptious bread, muffins, brownies, or cakes. All you have to do is alter some of the ingredients. Listed below, I have actually detailed the 9 ideal gluten-free flour alternatives and also ways to cook with them!

1) Coconut Flour

What Is It: This is one of one of the most prominent gluten-free flour choices (as well as rightfully so). Considering that coconut flour originates from the meat of a dried coconut, this flour alternative has the exact same benefits as other coconut item on the market.

The Health Benefits: Coconut flour is high in fiber, healthy and balanced fats, and also protein. That's as well as, it's reduced in sugar as well as carbohydrates. It's very uncommon for coconut flour to create gastrointestinal issues, like grain flours often do. Additionally, given that coconut flour is a low glycemic food, it does not spike blood sugar degrees. Consuming foods that contain coconut flour have been known to support blood sugar levels (just make sure you check out the other components in your reward as well).

Cooking Tips: Coconut flour is incredibly susceptible to globs. Before you add various other active ingredients to your mixing bowl, make certain to de-clump it.

Also, coconut flour has a tendency to be dense, dry, and very absorbent. Consequently, you could not just change all-purpose flour with coconut flour at a 1:1 proportion. If you do, your baked products will greater than most likely appeared dry and also crumbly. Instead, when cooking with coconut flour, you will certainly require to use more eggs than you generally do. A great guideline of thumb is that for every 1/4 mug of coconut flour you make use of in a recipe, you will should use 2 eggs. If you're mixing in various other dry ingredients (like chocolate powder) your egg proportion will certainly should increase also higher.

Recipes:

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Coconut Flour Muffins

Coconut Flour Bread

Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake

2) Almond Flour

What Is It: This type of flour is fantastic for making baked products such as cookies, cakes, as well as pastries. It can be found in 2 types - 'great ground' and 'crude ground' - and also is made from ground up almonds. No wonder it has all the very same wellness advantages as a handful of entire almonds!

The Health Benefits: Almond flour is high in healthy protein, has heart-healthy fats, as well as contains important vitamins as well as minerals. Much like coconut flour, almond flour is also simpler on the gastrointestinal system.

Cooking Tips: Almond flour soaks up fluid in a different way than grain flour does. If a dish asks for a small amount of fluid, you might have the ability to do a 1:1 alternative. Nonetheless, many wheat flour recipes ask for even more liquid than just what can be fairly absorbed by almond flour. Consequently, sometimes a direct alternative will certainly leave you with a soaked product. To avoid disappointment, try to find a recipe that already utilizes almond flour (like the ones below)!

Recipes:

Paleo Brownies

Paleo Banana Bread

Almond Flour Pancakes

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Paleo Naan

What Is It: To produce organic hazelnut flour, suppliers merely peel and also grind up entire hazelnuts. This creates a crumbly flour that will add a nutty taste and also great texture to breads as well as bread.

The Health Benefits: Hazelnut is high in healthy protein as well as vitamins that are understood to improve brain development, decrease the danger of blood embolisms, and advantage cell health and wellness.

A great deal of people wonder if oats are absolutely gluten-free. Also though they are, the answer is somewhat made complex. Several times oats are grown in areas where gluten products are also expanded. This means there might be cross-contamination. Thankfully, several growers today isolate their fields as well as manufacturing facilities. To be on the secure side, however, search for oats that are classified 'gluten-free.'

The Health Benefits: Simply like oat meal, oat flour is excellent for reducing cholesterol degrees and also enhancing heart health and wellness! It additionally has necessary nutrients the body needs to work correctly.

Cooking Tips: Oat flour used alone in a dish will usually leave your baked products with a thick or gummy structure. Consequently, it's normally far better to change about 1/3 of a dish's wheat flour with oat flour. The remaining wheat flour can be changed with a combination of various other gluten-free flours (like the ones discussed on this checklist). Look into several of the following recipes for concepts on the best ways to cook with oat flour.

If you are going to blend quinoa flour with an additional gluten-free flour, a good option would be rice flour, which I will talk about in just a minute.
