Besides the fact that we LOVE to make food... WE LOVE trying new foods as well!



We got a special treat when Nikkicole and Mike took us out for Dim Sum- a delicious bite sized Cantonese meal.

Chunky Monkey Waffles (version 1)

We have so many variations on this awesome theme! We love Krusteaz waffle and pancake mix and we love that we can be creative with add ins.

Ingredients:

Krusteaz waffle mix

Banana

Coconut

Flaxseed

Cinnamon

Semisweet Chocolate Chips

Follow the instructions on the Krusteaz box. (We often make the 2-3 portion because we don't eat a lot.)

Add ins:

The way you measure the add ins

2-3 and 4-5 = 1 banana, 3tsp cinnamon, 1/4 c Chocolate Chips, 3Tbs coconut flakes, 3Tbs flaxseed

8-10 = double the above!

Goes great with mint or chamomile tea, enjoy! We recommend a "syrupless" experience or just butter. These waffles are sooooo delicious!

Breakfast is always a fun & easy meal to get kids involved!

One of our favorite things to eat is breakfast!  One of our favorite things to make is compote. It's a really simple alternative to syrup!  We paired our meal with sausage & chamomile tea!  Enjoy!
