Make Mom's Yogurt Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, or 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour plus 1/4 cup cornmeal, or other flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain yogurt, full fat or non-fat (mom uses non-greek yogurt)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, or vegetable oil (mom uses vegetable oil)
1/4 to 1/3 cup whole milk, optional (mom doesn't use, but might need if uses greek, if don't have milk, might need a litlte water)
Salted butter, maple syrup, honey, and/or jam, for serving
1 banana (even for a half serving she does a banana, but a smaller one)
1/2 cup+ for blueberries she doesn't have great memories on this at this point
https://www.thespruceeats.com/yogurt-pancakes-2215861
-get the griddle the right temp-- even hot but not too hot
While the griddle or pan heats up, make the batter. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
n another medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs.
Add the yogurt-egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Stir in the melted butter or oil. If the batter is too thick (which can happen based on the consistency of the yogurt that is used), slowly add 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk.
Brush or spray oil onto the hot griddle or pan. Spoon the batter into even cakes and cook until bubbles form on the surface of the cakes, about 2 minutes.
(mom notes usually after the first one you have to turn down the heat to keep it even)
Using a spatula, flip the cakes over and cook until they are golden brown on the other side—about another 2 minutes. Working in batches, only cook as many pancakes as will fit on your pan without touching.
Pancakes are delicious on their own, but consider adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to the batter or 1/2 cup blueberries (frozen or fresh). Or fold in half a mashed banana or a few tablespoons of chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts.

Fattoush Salad
https://www.tastingtable.com/686131/fattoush-salad-recipe/
Waiting to see how many times i make this to see if its a keeper. When i mix it well, its super delicious and not my usual salad flavor so a good vaiety to have. Made too much of it, the pomegranta molasses is also potentially a bummer but if I made much less of it wold be fine.

Keeper: Miso Soup from Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook
I loosely followed this recipe. I did bella mushrooms because they were way cheaper and did twice as much (the whole container). For long term use, the amount of salt is a concern, so maybe see if I can modify on spices and things and use less miso. Using the instant pot to make it using sautee was convenient.
not one that is my ABSOLUTE favorite, but I have made this at least four times, deserves the keeper label

Mason Jar Salad Template -Keeper
https://thegirlonbloor.com/mix-and-match-mason-jar-salad-recipes/
Tried the greek sort of... used honey mustard dressing. Used most of a can of chickpeas
Honey mustard dressing
https://cookieandkate.com/healthy-honey-mustard-dressing-recipe/
not bad if really just use 2 tablespoon for the serving. Tried it with the roasted veggies. It's good, but not incredible
-Honey mustard dressing, the roasted veggies, leftover chickpeas straight from the can, grape tomatoes, pepitas on spinach--it was very yummu
Air Fryer Veggies with Salad Dressing
https://www.spendwithpennies.com/air-fryer-vegetables/
I did like 350 for like 10 minutes in the silicon thing with like a cup of each veggie-- prepped them in both of them and shoved them in.
Then i added the honey mustard dressing which was both good and not to die for
They're not as good or as crispy as not in the silicon liner... but they're also super easy to clean
Current Stir Fry Sauce
1 cup low sodium veggue broth
⅓ cup (generous) soy sauce
1 scant tablespoons honey, 1 scant tablespoon maple syrup (didn't measure just squeezed)

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger -- I used grated fozen
3 cloves garlic (minced) -- I used a random spoon of the fridge kind
2 tablespoon cornstarch
Crushed red pepper flakes
big spoonful of garlic chili sauce
Roasted Romaine Update
https://www.throughthefibrofog.com/air-fryer-romaine-lettuce/

Green Shakshuka 1
https://www.themediterraneandish.com/green-shakshuka-recipe/
I modified this in possibly terrible ways, I didn't do the 1/4 cup of olive oil to start, I just did the usual drizzle to warm up. I also added zucchini at the end of the brussel sprouts cooking.
