Valentine's Day

Good Morning, Valentine


I love making these waffles on Valentine's Day. I got the recipe from my sis-in-law in Arizona.

1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup quick oats
3 T. baking powder
1 egg
1 1/2 cup milk

** Mix together and pour a small amount into your waffle iron. Serve warm.

Valentine Boxes

I also wanted to share our Valentine's boxes. The kids had so much fun making them. (I helped with the hot glue.)

Happy 4th of July

I wasn't planning on making a 4th of July treat. We were going to be wake boarding on Utah Lake, so why bother right? But, the boating trip fell through last night and as I was laying in bed this morning - loving sleeping in for once  when a vision of patriotic waffles flashed through my mind.



I'm thinking it would have looked better if I used a pastry bag instead of a spoon to spread the batter. But my waffle batter is runny and it would have spread anyway.

You could also go with a hippie look.



My kids liked the flags best. In fact, Bug watched me make them. He leaned into me - not quite a hug because that would be too childish, just a lean - and said, "You're the best Mom." And for just a moment, I was.

Happy 4th!
