Waffles and Will Time

Today we made homemade waffles. We also mixed up extra of the dry ingredients so next time we can make them even faster. It's a very healthy, but tasty recipe (posted at the bottom).
This afternoon, Westley went to Grandma Kathy's house so it was just Will and I all evening long. It was fun to focus in on him. We played with his new Christmas toys, read (and ate) some books, and took a nice long bath.

Westley "reading" the recipe








WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES
MAKES ABOUT EIGHT 7-INCH ROUND WAFFLES

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs (one time I accidentally left out the eggs and they still came out fine)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1-1/2 to 2 cups milk

Optional ingredients I also add in:
1 tbsp flax oil
1 small scoop protein powder
1/3 cup sweet potato & apple puree
1 mashed banana
blueberries or finely chopped apple

Place the flour, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl and whisk with a wire whisk to combine well. Add the eggs, butter, oil and 1-1/2 cups of the milk; beat with the whisk until smooth. Add more milk as needed to thin the batter just to a pouring consistency, being careful to keep it thick. Cook on waffle iron.
