Saturday Mornings are for..... WAFFLES!!!!



Saturday Mornings are the best. The days the kids sleep in, the days for morning snuggles, the mornings for morning cartoons together, the mornings for special breakfast requests because we have those extra moments together. Saturday mornings are the moments of endless possibilities. Saturday mornings are when anything is possible... Some Saturdays may be as simple as pancakes or waffles and then there will be some complex Saturdays with some homemade eggs Benedict and you know I can never refuse to put my own little twist on it so we've pretty much tried them all from traditional Benedict's to crab, shrimp, lobster, spinach, asparagus..... oh yea, we're talking about WAFFLES today... Sorry, I get a little carried away when I start thinking about Benedict and what goes into making that buttery succulent Hollandaise sauce... Thinking about it just makes my mouth water.....

So for Waffles... Waffles are always so much fun to make. I have definitely been creative with waffles for my kids, from the traditional Belgian Waffles, to even Pizza Waffles... yes, you heard me right! I have made freaking Pizza Waffles! Those were actually so much fun to make! I had my SIL, bestie and her hubby over for dinner and we decided to do a dinner waffle bar of pizza waffles with Marinara dipping sauce... We got to build our own and we had a crazy amount of toppings. It was so much fun! I may have to try it again and post a recipe here because I think we made them and ate them so fast that none of us even got pictures of them!!! For Shame I tell ya!!!! 

Well, this morning, I wanted to make a waffle that was good and healthier also for the kids and Jack since we're trying to eat better, so I was determined to come up with something and the thing I came up with was freaking amazing. The kids loved them and I don't think we even had any leftovers!!!! 

 The best part of waffles is I get the best little helper in the kitchen....

Keto Waffles
Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter,  melted
Directions:

Preheat Waffle Iron and adjust temperature to preferred doneness. 

While the waffle iron is warming, place all ingredients, except butter into a high powered blender or food processor and blend on high until all ingredients are incorporated. Add butter and blend again a few more seconds. 

Use cooking spray to lightly grease waffle iron to prevent sticking and place about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of batter to waffle iron and cook until it's browned to your preferred doneness. 

These waffles are perfect and serve warm topped with your favorite syrup. We love our sugar free maple syrup.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
