There’s nothing like being home and eating my own food after a cruddy “vacation.” And to make matters even better? My oven/stove is in operation! Which means the kitchen is slowly (slowly) coming together–and that I can cook! Although apparently I’m cooking in 2D. And I flatly refuse to go find my real camera. Iphone photos, ahoy.
Flat Oat Bran
Wait–do I mean pancakes? Nope. I had the ingredients for hot oat bran. I have no microwave and no patience for on-the-stove stirring. So I dumped oat bran+protein powder+water in a pan and cooked. A little messy to flip/get back out, but totally worth it for flat oat bran with crispy edges. Served with sunflower seed butter.
Flat Snacks
A.k.a “Chocolate Bar.”
Flat Salad
Doesn’t look flat to you? Well, it was carried to work for my lunch, so I had to smash a lid on that overflowing container after snapping a pic.
Flat Bread
You know I made socca (chickpea flat bread) the instant I had a pan + heat again. Mixed the chickpea flour with a serving of hemp protein powder for a huge protein kick. Served with an avocado and ketchup. Because when it comes to ketchup–why not.
Flat Treats
Hot turmeric milk served out of the flattest of my ugly mug collection (yup, I have a collection of ugly homemade mugs). Enjoyed with a bowl of stove-popped popcorn and a movie that fell more than flat (turned it off 3/4 of the way through to put in extra work hours instead).
Have a favorite flat food? What’s a movie/book/recipe/life adventure that’s fallen flat recently?
I like your flat oat bran pancake thingy! What a great, resourceful idea for when you have no microwave!
My favorite flat food is probably pancakes…or pizza
That oat bran thing looks delicious! I’m with Alexandra on the favorite flat foods…pizza & pancakes all the way
! You can also throw in omelets!
I made a flat recipe yesterday, but not in terms of the shape!! I made banana bread, but forgot the baking soda!! It ended up dense and chewy. Oops.
I love your ugly coffee cup!!!!
Haha there is a whole lot of flatness going on here! I made one of the breakfast cookies recently that was nice and flat and DELISH!
The oat bran looks and sounds good! Flat? Hmm…not sure what I would say is my favoriite flat food… an omelette? Maybe…
You and your themes!
I love that your WIAW’s always have a theme
Also, that coffee mug is so cool!
ooo your socca with avocado and ketchup sounds good!
I hate cleaning pans, but both the flat oatbran and flat socca bread look so great it must be worth it!!
Favorite flat food? Quesadilla, hands down! Oh wait…do cookies count?!?!
Of course cookies count! Cookies always count
What movie was it that you didn’t like?? Also, the way you feel about ketchup is the way I feel about mustard. And pickles. The more the better!
And what is hot turmeric milk? How did you come up with that?
In Time–the futuristic action movie with Justin Timberlake. I mean, I obviously didn’t go in with high expectations, but I at least expected to be entertained by cheesy action. And that salad pictured above? Smothered in mustard (and nooch)
I love my condiments.
Hot turmeric milk is like drinking warm…sweet…curry. Which I realize sounds really odd, but I find it delicious. Hot almond (or other) milk, hint of sweetener, a generous 1/4 t turmeric and ginger (fresh or ground) and a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and (optional because it’s expensive) cardamom. I can’t promise it’ll be to your taste, as it is different, but it’s worth a try. Found the idea off of some blog ages ago, so unfortunately can’t give credit.
yay, your oven and stove is working! It is all coming together
Haha love the flat theme
That Flat Oat Bran looks pretty delicious 
I’m glad your kitchen is starting to come together!
hahaha i love your flat theme!
I like that the drinks were flat as well.
