Let Go of that Eggo

 I was strolling through the grocery store a few weeks ago and decided to pick up some frozen waffles for the kids. I thought it would give them something different and something easy on all of us on those morning I'm coming off work.

The kids have ate them without complaint but after getting some out of the freezer for Jack, I thought to myself ," how gross?" They are basically like eating a piece of cardboard. I'm assuming that cardboard can easily be eaten if it's covered in butter and syrup. I thought I had eaten them before, too. I didn't remember them quite the same but regardless of all that I purchased them again.
but
I felt very guilty. 
I knew I should do better than this. 
If  Kellogg's can freeze their waffles, why can't I?
Well, I can and I did.
I pulled out my waffle maker.
Gathered my ingredients
If you have a tried and true waffle recipe by all means use it.
I on the other hand am not a typical cook.
I'm an eye-baller and an improviser.
I put a good bit of self-rising flour in a mixing bowl, maybe 2 cup maybe a little more.
Add about a teaspoon of salt and some sugar. 
You could leave those out if you don't want them or have it on hand.
I measure the salt in the palm of my hand and throw it in. 
The sugar I just sprinkle along the top of my flour; it's really more to help it brown nicely.
Take a whisk and stir it up.
I then add the egg, oil(about a 1/4 cup), teaspoon of vanilla( usually your cap is a teaspoon)
and add your milk or some real big tablespoons of sour cream. 
I used the sour cream because I forgot we were out of milk....
Whisk again.
It will be really thick. I then move to the sink and 
Add water and whisk until I get it looking about right.
*about right is when it is thin enough to pour but not too thin*
Then you..
Cook 'em
and
Eat 'em
and 
Freeze 'em.

When you freeze them it will be best to put wax paper between them.
I use an old bread bag to store them in the freezer.

Do your own waffles.
and
Thanks for the visit.
BE BLESSED!

Vintage Soft Tee~Pinterest


A $3.00 t-shirt and Pinterest recipe for a vintage soft tee
1 quart of water
1/2 cup of salt

Brine shirt for three day 
Machine wash
Tumble dry


My shirt wasn't terrible stiff but I was hoping for that ridiculously soft feeling;
 the feeling you on get from wash and wear.
Should I use regular iodized salt or sea salt?
The instruction didn't say it mattered so I went with the regular salt it is cheaper.
I soaked it for the 3 days, I washed and dried.
My result where really unnoticeable.

Where to begin?

Uh...Where do I begin?
I'm going to begin with it's Monday and thank the Lord it ain't raining.
Other than the rain forest that once was my yard and the bombarding of insects
all is truthfully well with us.
Matthew 5:45......for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and send rain on the just and on the unjust.



Tiger Lilies will soon be blooming.








                           


            One purple pepper is on the vine. 
I've been anticipating them but my peppers have been slow. Almost everything has been slow coming along. 









          We also have a few green ones.
purple hydrangea
I did manage to find a few blackberries on the vine.
 I guess Judd(our goat) didn't get to these.
That brings me to a the subject of Judd. 
We lost our goat yesterday. He was just a goat but I'm quite sad over him dying.
He had quite q personality.
We've been on a bad roll lately: now we're down to Shabby Cat.
Be careful Shabbs...I don't think I can take another lose.

Well with all that being said, it is another Monday Music Moves Me.
The theme is a freebie.

I just stumbled across this video while looking for another and I couldn't help but share it...
