Welcome!

We are two chicks who decided to share some fun with food!
We plan on choosing some recipes and having a bit of fun with them! Sara will make the original recipe and maybe have some low-fat options and I, Dawn will take the recipe and tweak it if I can to become kidney and diabetic friendly (because, yes, I am both diabetic-type 2 and have PKD). Hopefully we will share some delicious and healthier versions of our recipes!

CHOCOLATE WAFFLES

I decided earlier last week that I wanted to make life a little easier for my boys... They get sick of the same old stuff for breakfast in the morning, and it always seems like a mad dash for the door... Especially for my oldest, who has to catch the bus every morning for High School... So this is one of my solutions! 

Make a batch of waffles, and freeze them on a cookie sheet, then bag and label... When they want thier breakfast, they pop them in the toaster, and voila!  Instant Breakfast!

  • 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
Heat waffle maker to manufacturers directions.

In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder until combined,

In another bowl, mix sugar, milk, butter and eggs until combined and sugar is dissolved.

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined.  Overmixing will make batter tough.

Place batter in waffle iron and cook to manufacturers instructions.

Makes 8-10 waffles

** Note: The batter should resemble the bottom pic.  Light and fluffy **

Finished Waffles on top; Batter on bottom
