My wife and I have these pancakes on Saturdays, and we love them. Deliciousness, while hitting your macros. I addapted the recipe from this video. I’ve included two versions: a conventional option, and a sheet pan option. We’ve been using the sheet pan option most recently, as it’s much simpler and doesn’t require standing at a stove for a long time. NOTE: measurements below are for roughly 1 person. So, multiply it by the number of people you’re cooking for. ...

I’m exploring and playing with some elements of Bryan Johnson’s health protocol. A big part of that is nutrition. There are two meals that make regular occurrence in the protocol: Nutty Pudding (the recipe shown below), and Super Veggie (linked here). Below is instructions (slightly modified and rephrased) for prepping Nutty Pudding. The original text is here and the video recipe is here. I’m reposting it here for easier personal reference (and to be able to include my modifications). ...

This is Josh’s current cut-version of Super Veggie: still vegetable-heavy, but rebuilt around a quinoa/red-lentil base, sardines, micro-liver, chicken, and a practical Greek-yogurt sauce for an aggressive 2-fast-day cut. The original Bryan Johnson version is still the inspiration. This page is the current personal-use version that matches the active plan. 1. Ingredients (for 5 eating days) a. Main Dish Batch Quinoa (dry) — 225 grams Green lentils (dry) — ~100 grams (target: ~250g cooked) Broccoli (head + stalk) — 900 grams Cauliflower — 550 grams Mushrooms — 300 grams Garlic — 15 grams Ginger Root (chopped finely) — 15 grams b. Per-Meal Protein / Sauce Add-Ins Sardines — 1 small tin per meal (targeting ~85g drained) Cooked beef liver — 10 grams per meal Cooked chicken breast — 80 grams per meal Non-fat Greek yogurt — 150 grams per meal Lemon, mustard, salsa, garlic, and iodized salt — to taste 2. Instructions Veggies Wash the vegetables. Weigh the vegetables. Place broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic in boiling water. Boil until tender, about 7-9 minutes. Drain well and store. Quinoa + lentils Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer. Cook the quinoa normally: bring to a boil, cover, simmer about 15 minutes, then rest covered 10 minutes and fluff. Cook the green lentils separately at a gentle simmer until tender but not mushy (usually about 20-25 minutes); drain well if needed. The 225g dry quinoa should yield about 675g cooked. Portion with ~250g cooked green lentils as five 135g-quinoa/50g-lentil bases. If digestion is uncertain, use 30g cooked lentils for the first five eating days and hold the remainder. Serving Place about 135g cooked quinoa + 50g cooked lentils in a bowl. Add about 300-350g cooked vegetables. Add 80g cooked chicken breast and one drained small tin of sardines. In a separate cup, blend 10g cooked beef liver into 150g non-fat Greek yogurt with lemon, mustard, salsa, garlic, and iodized salt. Coat the chicken, sardines, grains, lentils, and vegetables with the cold yogurt-liver sauce. If the bowl feels too large, split off some of the vegetables and eat them later instead of forcing the full volume in one sitting. 3. Notes This version uses a green-lentil microdose: 50g cooked daily is enough to make lentils routine without turning the meal into a giant legume bowl. Begin at 30g cooked if digestion is uncertain, then move to 50g only if it feels easy. The yogurt-liver sauce keeps the bowl satisfying without a high-oil dressing; 10g liver should disappear into the sauce rather than taste like a separate serving. On the current cut, the goal is high adherence and high protein, not proving toughness by making the bowl bigger than necessary.

PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 4 to 48 hours, depending on the kind of bones YIELD: 6 quarts INGREDIENTS 5700 g (6 quarts) water 30 g (2 tbsp) raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar 907 g (2 lbs) animal bones (chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish, or other) 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped 3 large carrots, coarsely chopped 10 stalks celery, coarsely chopped 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped 18 g (1 tbsp) Himalayan salt 7 g (1 tbsp) black peppercorns Fresh or dried herbs or spices of your choice (optional) DIRECTIONS Fill a stockpot with 6 quarts of cold water.

Total Time: 45 min Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 30 min Ingredients for 9 servings 225 g (8 oz) good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet 170 g (12 tbsp) butter, melted 250 g (1 ¼ cups) sugar 2 eggs 8 g (2 tsp) vanilla extract 95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour 30 g (¼ cup) cocoa powder 6 g (1 tsp) salt Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper. Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it’s not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture. Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely. Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk! Enjoy! source: https://tasty.co/recipe/the-best-fudgy-brownies
