Waffles!


Our own waffles, but the idea came from the blog
"Random thoughts of a Super Mom."
This is what happens when the Mr. looks at blogs!

He gets ideas!

Ideas that he thinks would be fun to do . . .
but then needs my help to do!

Friday, the Mr. saw this on a blog and said,
"That'd be fun to do for the cherubs for breakfast tomorrow!"

Saturday morning breakfast is "His" thing.
Has been since we've had cherubs.

So, on Saturday, I'm trying to look real busy being "comfy" when I hear him say,
"I'm going to need your help!"

Here's where it started:
  • He had no waffle mix; so I had to search for a waffle recipe.  Found one!
  • He didn't really know how to add "my" food colorings to the batter; so I did that too.  Looks pretty close to the real color!
  • He didn't know what he was going to put the different waffle color mixes in so that he could pour the different colors; so I grabbed 2 of my favorite squeeze bottles, with different size tips, so it would make the "pouring" easier!
  • He didn't know where the waffle iron was; so I got on my hands and knees and went to the very back of the cabinet and grabbed the iron.  I also plugged it in to get it warm and I showed him how to liberally coat the iron so the waffles wouldn't stick.



The result:
  • He made great looking candy corn waffles for me and the cherubs Saturday morning . . .along with bacon that he cooked!
The lesson learned:
  • I'm going to keep him away from reading other blogs!
Waffles

1 3/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla (I used vanilla nut flavoring from King Arthur)

Mix the flour, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.

In a smaller bowl, blend the eggs, milk, melted butter and vanilla together until eggs are well incorporated.

Slowly add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring well.

Heat waffle iron and cook until waffles are golden brown.

Serve with syrup or your favorite waffle toppings.

This recipe made 8 waffles.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
