Breakfast is my family’s favorite meal of the day. They like to eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so any time of the day breakfast is a go around here. Matter of fact, we just had waffles last night for dinner and they were delicious. Every week I make a batch of my favorite waffles, usually on the weekend, because they freeze wonderfully and make for easy breakfasts all week long. I don’t know why I have never shared this recipe with y’all, because it is seriously the easiest and tastiest waffle recipe out there and the one I have been making for years. The only special equipment needed is obviously a waffle maker, which I highly recommend adding into your kitchen appliances if you don’t have one already. My easy waffles from scratch will have you wondering why you ever bought frozen waffles because they are just that simple and tasty!
It’s Monday which means busy mornings are in full swing around here! One of my favorite ways to survive the morning is to have a freezer and fridge stocked with easy breakfasts! I have a kiddo who wakes up asking what is for breakfast before I have even fully opened my eyes and so having a breakfast I don’t have to think about is a lifesaver! Things like mini frittatas, muffins, and waffles are just a few of the recipes I like to have on hand at all times! Lately I am so obsessed with blueberry everything and just can’t seem to get enough! I created these double blueberry waffles on a whim one weekend and have been making them ever since!
This week has felt like the first normalish week since the hurricane. I feel like my brain is finally starting to function properly again and I am feeling inspired in the kitchen after a couple weeks of feeling slightly overwhelmed with everything going on in my community, including my book release! Which by the way, First Bites was the #1 New Release in Baby Food Cooking on Amazon last week! Say whatttt?? So to celebrate I decided to make a batch of my easy white cheddar broccoli waffles which will most definitely have your kiddos eating broccoli without hesitation!
About two years ago we went to a little hole in the wall juke joint out in the middle of nowhere. Turns out it might be one of the coolest things about where we live. We've been meaning to go back ever since we moved back to Louisiana, and finally made the trip on Saturday night! It was a night filled with blues music, late night food, and friends. And then we topped off an amazing night and weekend by waking up late Sunday morning and eating Canean's favorite Sunday breakfast, waffles and bacon. What could be better than Saturday night juke joints and Sunday morning waffles?
Not much...I'll tell ya!
It was the perfect weekend filled with all of the things that feed my soul. Music, food, friends, and most of all, Canean.
Teddy's Juke Joint is an old house (where Teddy himself was born) converted into a little bar and stage where real blues musicians come and still play on a weekly basis. It's Louisiana as Louisiana can get and that's what I love most about it. There isn't an inch of empty ceiling or wall space because it's all filled with souvenirs, license plates from all states, mardi gras beads, and other collectibles from over the years. It's probably one of the only places where you will find all walks of life, races, and ages all brought together for one thing...good music.
In our house Sunday mornings mean waffles. If I ask Canean what he wants for breakfast on the weekends, nine times out of ten he will say waffles. So, needless to say I am always trying out new recipes and I usually try and make them somewhat healthy so I don't feel like I'm undoing my week's hard work. These ricotta whole wheat waffles are my new favorite!
Is there anything better than a lazy weekend morning? You know the times where neither you or your partner have to be anywhere early and can spend the morning together drinking coffee and eating breakfast, chit chatting about this and that. It's the best. And waffles just make it better if you ask me.
I combined Canean's waffle obsession with my ricotta cheese obsession (as you know another favorite breakfast of mine is Ricotta Breakfast Toast), and ended up with a pretty great waffle! The ricotta cheese adds a nice texture, flavor, and also adds an extra dose of protein to help you stay full! To top the waffles, I used fresh berries and drizzled maple syrup over top.
Deelliisshhh guys! You must try them the next time you are in a waffly mood!
