Symptom check-in

POTS: None.

Vestibular migraine: I skipped my afternoon class today because by 10am the dizziness was already bad enough that staring at a screen felt impossible. I didn't throw up but I was nauseous enough that I was scared to eat anything too heavy. I just lay in bed with the blinds down and waited for it to pass enough to make something.

Lupus: None.

Condition	Works?	Why
POTS	—	This meal doesn't specifically target POTS symptoms
Vestibular migraine	Yes	Mild, non-acidic, and low in common migraine triggers; ricotta is a gentle protein and blueberries are low on the trigger list compared to citrus or aged cheeses

Ingredients (makes about 6 crêpes)

Crêpe batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/4 cups milk

• 1 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan

• 1 tbsp poppy seeds

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 1 tsp sugar

• Pinch of salt

Blueberry compote

• 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• Splash of water

Filling

• 1/2 cup ricotta

• 1 tsp honey or sugar (optional)

Steps

1. Make the batter — Whisk together the eggs and milk first, then add the flour gradually so you don't get lumps. Stir in the melted butter, poppy seeds, lemon zest, sugar, and salt. The batter should be thin — thinner than pancake batter, more like cream. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes in the fridge. This is not optional — rested batter makes crêpes that don't tear.

2. Make the compote — Add the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a splash of water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and let it bubble for about 8 to 10 minutes until the berries have broken down and it looks jammy and glossy. Take it off the heat and let it cool slightly — it thickens as it sits.

3. Cook the crêpes — Heat a nonstick pan on medium and brush lightly with butter. Pour in just enough batter to coat the bottom — about 3 to 4 tbsp — and immediately tilt the pan in a circle to spread it thin. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges start to lift and the surface looks dry. Flip carefully and cook another 30 seconds. Stack them on a plate as you go — they won't stick to each other.

4. Fill and fold — Spread a thin layer of ricotta across the center of each crêpe. Spoon a line of blueberry compote over it. Fold the crêpe in half, then in half again into a triangle, or roll it loosely. Either way works.

5. Plate — Fan them out on a plate and spoon a little extra compote over the top. Eat them while they're still warm and the ricotta is soft.
