Waffles with Vanilla and Cinnamon
I tend to agree, it gives it a special touch of flavor. The kids woke up and ran for the table; they couldn't wait to dig in to their very own waffle.
I on the other hand needed a little something extra to start my day. I needed a meal that would boost my energy level and keep me going. I decided to fry up eggs (sunny side or over hard), toast some hearty bread (whole wheat in this case) and slice up some fresh Avocados(that I had just purchased from Trader Joes Market).
This is a simple, heart healthy, energy boosting breakfast.
Ingredients:
~ 2 Eggs (pan fried)
~ Pan spray or a dash of olive oil (coat the pan so the eggs don't stick)
~ Avocado (fresh)
~ Toast (whole wheat, Italian or French)
~ Tomato slices (fresh) (optional)
~ Swiss Cheese (optional)
Preparation:
~ Prepare eggs to your liking (I prefere over hard for this recipe)
~ Toast the bread
~ Spread Avocado slices over the toast
~ Top the Toast and Avocado with your Fried Eggs
~ Serve with a side of Turkey Sausage
~ Beverage options: Milk, Juice, Coffee or Tea
** Optional and a sure fire winner: Top with Fresh Tomato slices and Swiss cheese. Broil in the oven for 2 minutes (or until the cheese is melted and brown). **
There you have it...a complete energy boosting, heart healthy breakfast.
Its noon and I'm still feeling full and energized. After breakfast I cleaned the whole house, helped the kids with their home work and now I'm blogging!!!
What will we make for Sunday Dinner....Hmmm (Gumbo or Braised Beef Tips over Penne Pasta)....Stay tuned for more great recipe ideas.
It's Sunday morning and I haven't had the best sleep. My daughter attended a friend’s birthday sleep over party. Since she was away for the night we figured it was as good a time as any for our son to invite a friend to stay the night. This was his first attempt at a sleep over, so we were ready for anything to happen.
Well as it turns out the boys were actually good. They played wii, legos and watched a movie before crashing out for the night (10:30pm isn't that bad for a first time sleep over with 5 and 6 year olds). Everything seemed to be going great; John and I were actually in bed at a decent hour.
At about 2:30am the phone rang and it was my friend calling to tell me that my daughter came up stairs complaining of a soar throat and she was running a fever. John was passed out cold, so I couldn't ask him to get up out of his deep sleep to help me out. I guess I would have to take this one on myself! I picked her up with Tylenol in hand (ready for the worst). My daughter usually doesn't take being sick very well (she gets hysterical, most of the time), but this time she was calm..Thank goodness, because at 2:30am drama was the last thing we both needed to be dealing with (not that I wasn't prepared for it). I gave her the Tylenol I had brought with me for the fever and we headed home. I tucked her into bed and she was out (fast asleep). I on the other hand was up tossing and turning for the next hour (at least).
I woke up that morning and decided to make the kids waffles (they happen to be a huge hit in our family). My mother makes the best home made waffles, the wonderful fresh ingredients she uses will surely have you committed to being in the gym daily for the next month.
I on the other hand this morning grabbed for the box of "Anne Jamima Complete mix". I always add a few special ingredients to power up the flavor. I use my waffle maker which gets a lot of use, especially in the winter months (It's a great gadget to have in your kitchen).
The batter was complete and the waffles were baking. The aromas were filling the house with smells of cinnamon and vanilla (those are the special added ingredients...my daughter’s secret to kicking up waffles not made from scratch).
