Oh How Wonderful Waffles

I know this has nothing to do with travel, Harley's or scenery, however, I made the most fluffy and light waffles I have ever made!  You could actually eat a dozen of these and not feel stuffed!  So, I thought I would share the recipe with you.

Fluffy Waffles

1¾ c flour
1 tbls sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
3 eggs, separated
1½ c milk
¼ c butter, melted
1 tsp Vanilla

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Beat egg yolks, milk, butter and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold egg whites into batter.
Before making each waffle, stir batter.
Bake in a preheated waffle iron until golden brown.

Ok - let me know what you think!!!

The Breakfast of Champions

Last week I decided to try an experiment on the hubby.  The saying goes that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, however, they really never explain why!  I decided to try a week of making breakfast for Tim.  Here are the seven meals I made for breakfast . . .

    Breakfast Pizza - Eggs, Sausage, Bacon, Cheese and a Country Gravy on top of a Pizza Crust.   

    Camper's Breakfast Casserole - included Hash Browns, Sausage, Cheese and Eggs.

The German Pancake total hit and so very pretty!

     The Omelet Ole was full of flavor and color!  Eggs, Sausage and Tortillas are the main ingredients.

     And a 'regular joe' breakfast of Eggs, Sausage and Pancakes were a relief from all the new recipes I had sprung on the hubby.

     The least favorite - a Quiche.  Not sure why anyone makes this more than once - very bland.

          Baked Oatmeal - probably the only breakfast that was anywhere near healthy.

The experiment was a success in my book.  The lesson learned here was that breakfast is indeed a necessary part of your day.  Although I'm usually not a breakfast type of person, eating a big breakfast kept me full and my tummy satisfied for most of the day.  This may be an important part of dieting - a way to keep the hunger pains away.

This week I am working on seven days of lunch.  I've added a couple of desserts in there also, so stay tuned!
