Lord help me, it's not ending... IHOP has new pancake flavors... thank GOD they're less calories but that's still quite a bit!
I could never afford to spend 1000 calories on pancakes. I'd be completely starving the rest of the day, lol. I'm so jealous of people who can really push CICO that way (I have a friend who'll have a 300 calorie coffee and an apple fritter for breakfast and lunch and be totally fine. Not fair).
So I had the english sticky toffee this weekend, also tried the tres leches pancakes (and had a bite of my girlfriend's waffle sandwich!!!!) verdict: sticky toffee pancakes were great for about two bites and then insanely sickeningly sweet after. I gave the rest to my daughter. The tres leches pancakes were delicious. The breakfast waffle sandwich was decent, not worth the calories in my opinion and difficult to eat as they were saturated in syrup. All in all, tres leches were a hit, eh on the rest.
All these pancake photos are making me crave pancakes like there's no tomorrow LOL. What was the white/cream colored part in the middle of the tres leche pancakes? Was it just whipped cream or more of a caramel custard?2 -

The tres leches (at least the ones they gave me) had vanilla sauce, caramel sauce, and whipped cream, but mostly on top only and it quickly got absorbed into the pancakes. Because it wasn’t a mousse, it wasn’t as thick and I think the pancakes suffered as a result and were more dry. My dad got them and loved them since they were the least sweet out of the bunch but the pancakes themselves after absorbing all these sauces tasted sort of like the new recipe Denny’s uses for their buttermilk pancakes (which reminds me of vanilla birthday cake almost).
Really, they are good with a lot of potential, I just think compared to the other two they don’t stand much of a chance. The other two are A LOT more flavorful (and sickeningly sweet which is perfect for me), but unfortunately also a lot more calories, too.
The Toffee is the clear winner, unless you’re a complete chocoholic obsessed with all things chocolate, because once you cut into the chocolate stack the cocoa globs start melting everywhere on your plate into one beautiful mess. I couldn’t fit the calories for a full stack in, so I tried some of each and this might just give you an idea of how messy the chocolate stack was and what’s inside the others!

Haha! I talked to my daughter about them. "They're everything I can't have (she has an autoimmune disease and has cut out dairy and gluten) but all my friends say they are ridiculously good. I mean, it's a cinnamon roll pancake."
So, the review is in!3 -

I thought I'd seen this posted here before - I just tried the Sweet & Smoky BBQ flavor of these (my grocery store just got them!) and they're excellent, highly recommended. Great macros, satisfying serving size, and I love the taste! I'm definitely gonna try the other flavors now.2 -
Mother of all things probably terrible for you yet insanely delicious sounding...

Eggs benedict can be close to 1,600 calories alone depending on how much hollandaise sauce is used, and that's normally with an english muffin which has a lot less calories than a biscuit. Add to that some fried chicken and hash, I'm guessing 2,000-3,000 calories... I wrote to them so once I hear back if they tell me I'll let you know xD2 -
My Safeway has started to stock the new Open Nature ice creams. I picked up their Peanut Butter and Cookies almond milk ice cream to try. The top was a bit icy, but that didn't affect the texture, which was creamy and light. First bite tasted purely of almond milk. The peanut butter came through a bit later, but overall this flavor was a bit bland, and I couldn't really taste the cookies. Not bad to try, but I wouldn't rush to try the other non dairy flavors.4 -

I didn’t know eggs Benedict was so caloricly dense. That’s super depressing

Canada's answer to Halo Top - CoolWay.
They were all pretty good for what they are except the Vanilla Bean was just kind of meh.

cookies & cream gets a thumbs up! plentiful amount of “cookies” but the chocolate taste of them is less than an oreo or anything along those lines. still delicious!4 -

IHOP eggs Benedict is 910. I think they mostly run between 600-1000.2 -

1600 for egg benedicts seems a bit excessive. I mean, even the Cheesecake Factory has some at 1300 only and they use a LOT of sauce (plus potatoes etc).
This one, I'd think
500 for the potatoes
400 for the chicken
200 for the eggs
200 for the sauce
300 for the biscuit
Can't imagine it would be as high as 2000 calories. Now I want to know.
To be fair, if it's brunch, I can typically fit a 1400 calorie meal without any issue. I just eat lightly the rest of the day, which is easier for me than saving calories for a big dinner.1 -

I guess you’re right, MOST eggs benedict might not be quite that high, it’s just saved that way in my phone after logging it when my family makes it... we use A LOT of hollandaise! Be careful if you go out and log it, sometimes some restaurants are more generous than others and use more of it, so if you’re logging a lower calorie version and notice there’s a lot of sauce covering it, you might’ve got something a couple hundred calories more than what the menu lists. I know simply from sausage gravy ordered at my Wawa can easy vary between the employee hardly using any gravy and using so much I can’t even see the biscuit anymore... I never trust wawa when they list their biscuits and gravy under 400 calories o.o
Either way, I’m hoping you’re all right and it won’t be that caloric, because those bowls look delicious to me!
Also, new Mighty Muffin flavor announced this morning!

I really wanted to love this, but I don’t. I don’t drink hazelnut flavored coffees because the syrup tastes weirdly artificial and chemically to me in its own distinct way. Even though this was almond toffee flavored, it had that same weirdly fake hazelnut flavor. 270 calories, 55g carbs and 53g of sugar, so for that label it’s definitely not worth it or something I’m buying again. Didn’t really enjoy it at all. Very fake.

Much less exciting than pancakes and eggs Benedict but tried these. I liked that there were three instead of two like belvita etc. They were really good and had a very nice authentic blueberry muffin flavor, maybe too muffinlike because I kept wanting to add butter lol. Did not taste nut at all.
Also random but wegmans changed the serving size on all their cereal to be 1-1.5c which I actually like because who the heck eats 3/4c cereal. Way more of a realistic serving size.4 -

I love the cranberry almond breakfast flats.2 -
More than pasta. It's pretty much pasta but made from one ingredient: chickpeas. Although there is a green pea variety, I hear it's not too yummy. But the chickpea one really just takes on the flavor of whatever spices/sauce/oil you dress it with. It's amazing, my husband though he was eating normal pasta. Found at Costco.3

Are you in Canada? If so, I'll have to check out the Costco here for that product.0 -

If you have a Bulk Barn near you, they sell chickpea pasta and red lentil pasta (and a few more, I can’t remember off the top of my head). They’re in boxes on the shelf, not in the bulk bins.
Edit: Actually, they may have some in the bulk bins, I’ve just never looked at the bulk pasta! Only the boxed stuff.0 -

Also at Bulk Barn you can get edamame spaghetti and a lot of other non-flour pastas.
Yes! I could only remember the chickpea and red lentil ones because I have them in my kitchen. There’s lots of rice pasta, black bean pasta, and mung bean pasta as well.0 -

No way. As pictured, that's 1200ish at the most.1 -

It was more of a sweet milk custard I believe. I loved them!2
