Happy Thursday friends!
It is currently 5:30 in the morning and sweet Baby Mason is still sleeping, so I thought I would pop in and say hello!
I’ve realized that balancing home life and work life is hard, and trying to find time to blog feels nearly impossible!!! I mean, I’m lucky if I get to shower – praise the Lord for dry shampoo and body spray. Amen.
But since I’m off of work today (Mommy-Mason Day!!!!), I have some time this morning since I don’t have to make a lunch and pack my breastpump. Blogging time – yay!!
Let’s talk about breakfast. Do you guys have a favorite waffle mix?
I feel like every time I’m in Target standing in the Baking aisle, I end up starting a conversation with a new gluten free person and telling them my Must-Buy Waffle mix:
I LOVE this King Arthur Flour Pancake Mix so much. But instead of making pancakes, I use it to make waffles. This mix gets nice and crisp on the outside, creating the perfect nooks and crannies for a lake of butter:
and the inside is SO FLUFFY!!
The only downside is that you have to make the entire box, BUT that’s not actually a downside because these waffles make the BEST freezer waffles. So make a big batch and then freeze them. Pop them in the toaster when you’re ready for a waffle and they reheat PERFECTLY!!! Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside.
We had breakfast for dinner the other week (my fave!!) and had these waffles served alongside a new-to-me chicken sausage:
Don’t pay attention to the overflowing waffle iron…
These Applegate Farms Chicken & Maple Sausage Patties were SO GOOD!!! I’m bummed that there are only 6 in the box and they aren’t cheap. However, Harris Teeter puts them on BOGO Free often, so I just stock up when they’re on sale.
Breastfeeding has made me seriously crave meat, so I like to have some quick options on hand. Otherwise I’d be requesting cheeseburgers for dinner every night! (instead of every other night) I’m obsessed with cheeseburgers – what else is new.
Also currently obsessed with:
This book:
Like everyone else in the world!
This drink:
I LOVE kombucha, so I’m stoked that MOH told me about this one. Blueberry and Coconut water? Yes please!
This baby:
He LOVES playing outside. He gets the most serenely happy look on his face as the wind blows through his baby hairs. I love appreciating the small things with him.
And my last obsession:
Baby toes. I mean, come on. What is it about baby toes that are just so….edible?!?!
So tell me. What are you current obsessions?
Do you have a pancake/waffle mix that you absolutely love?
