| Waffles |
Waffles and pecans seem like they could go hand in hand. I didn't realize but today is Waffle AND Pecan Day!
I don't know about you
from time to time, I enjoy a waffle. I'm not big on Pecans, but I will eat them
occasionally. We have a large Pecan tree in the back yard. Those that we don't
pick up during the harvest, the squirrels and other critters enjoy. Including
the fur babies.
There won't be many
folks venturing out to the local Waffle Houses, Pancake House, or other
restaurants that might serve up a serving of waffles due to the Coronavirus.
But why should that stop us from eating waffles at home? It shouldn't...
I've often seen recipes
and other posts showing waffles and chicken. I've never tried that myself. I
may just do that tonight for supper. My husband put the chicken out to begin
thawing for supper and I think we still have our waffle iron (not sure about
syrup though - because he made pancakes this last Sunday for breakfast) so
maybe that's what will be on the menu. We don't eat pancakes often, but I was
in the mood for one this past weekend.
On the waffles, one
could serve up a helping hand of chopped up pecans, blueberries (my favorite),
strawberries, peaches - might spray it with some whipped cream or even throw
some cool whip on top. You might want to smother it in peanut butter or
anything else you can imagine. Now I'm getting hungry! I think I would probably
want an egg of some kind setting off to the side. Whether it be over medium,
sunny side up, scrambled, or even boiled - that would give some protein.
If we made the chicken,
we wouldn't need another type of meat such as bacon, sausage, country ham. In
fact, I don't even think we have any of those options in our fridge or freezer currently.
Waffles can be made in
all sorts of shapes. I've seen them cute for the kiddos and I've seen them
thick and square (like the ones I eat). I especially like eating them right from
the waffle iron, oozing with a pad of butter, the sticky - gooey syrup and yum,
yum...are you hungry now?
Then there are the
Belgium Waffles. I honestly don't think I've eaten one. I always thought they
were just a glorified waffle...guess I'll have to research that one! :-)
Since most restaurant's
dining rooms are closed for business, grab those cookbooks, recipes or look a recipe up online and cook up a heaping mound of
waffles today for breakfast, lunch, or supper!
Enjoy!

#Waffles, #goodfood, #eating, #food, #cooking, #inthekitchen,
I'm a fan of Belgian (BelGem) waffles! But I lack a waffle iron. And, I just heard that Waffle House is closing all their stores. Some Waffle Day celebration there!
ReplyDeleteWe used to eat Waffles a lot as a child. But I can't even remember the last time I had one. As for Chicken and Waffles Charlie and my Nephew like getting this at IHop. Pecans and Walnuts are my go to Snacks.
