Here's another one of our favorite B4D meals!

Waffles.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect waffle recipe forever! I grew up with my grandma's awesome waffles, and nothing really compares. I've been using this recipe for a little while and I think I like it! I think the key is folding the egg whites into the batter. So, here's the recipe! We love it with a little whipped cream on top, of course. We just whip it up in the vitamix before we serve it.

Waffles.
1 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
7 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. milk
3 eggs, separated

Combine dry ingredients. Mix wet in separate bowl. Beat egg whites in separate glass bowl until stiff peaks form. Add wet ingredients into dry. Carefully fold egg whites into batter. Cook in waffle iron immediately.

Enjoy!

I woke up from my pre-work nap to the most delicious smells wafting from the kitchen! My tootie-pie little sister, Ivy, has been trying a new, slightly more complicated chili recipe. It's one that NicholeV posted, actually! Anyway, I couldn't stand laying there in bed with that yummy smell, so I broke off the nap early to check it out.

Ivy was chopping all the veggies up, then finally broke out the gloves to chop up the peppers. She mentioned that she needed to remove the membranes on the peppers, and started peeling the peppers...huh? It took me a minute, but then I realized that she thought the membranes were the peel! Then she said that she had already peeled all of the bell peppers!

hee hee ho ho haha...

Oh dear, I needed a good little laugh, and she delivered! She is SUCH a good sport, that she even let me take a picture of that sorry little jalapeno and put it on my blog!!!

Love this sweet girl. 

wait...

wait for it....

note: this is another EXCELLENT day to have a birthday! 1/11/11 I can't WAIT for NOvember 11th. I might have to purposely schedule myself at work to make sure I am a part of that very excellent occasion.

Lasagna.

This recipe from Pioneer Woman is one of our favorite meals to eat. I've made it in the dutch oven, too! Let me tell you...it is one of the most comforting things to snarf down when you're out camping! Cam loves it so much, he came right home and made it today. It's even better when you don't have to make it yourself!

Here he is in progress:

Boys, when you grow up, make this for your families...they will love it, and YOU for doing it!

Make this!
