Waffles

This morning we were discussing what to have for breakfast. "How about waffles?" "Okay."
It ended up that I was going to make waffles. I'd never made waffles before but I'd watched Daddy make them a few days before and it seemed easy. Well, it is, but if you know me, I'm clumsy and do all sorts of funny things. :)    So I got out the Aunt Jemima waffle mix (we don't even make our own mix but that's next on my list) and the water and oil. Everything went well until I put the oil back. It has one of those screw on caps that don't get tight. They just click and keep twisting, you know what I mean? I didn't know that so I picked it up by the cap and it fell. It fell and spilled on the floor and the bottom of the cabinet. I guess dogs like olive oil... they licked it all up.  I mixed the stuff all up in the bowl and it was a little watery so I added some more mix. I heated up the waffle iron and poured some in then closed the lid. *gasp* I forgot to spray the iron with oil to keep the waffle from sticking! I didn't want my first waffle to be a failure so I prayed. "Lord, please don't let this waffle stick." It didn't. God even answers the stupidest prayers like mine. Isn't He great?

By the time I made the last waffle, I think they got to looking pretty good.

 And that's the story of the waffles.

Hawaiian Rolls

You know those King's Hawaiian rolls you find in the store. I looove those. Mom's been making a lot of bread lately so I decided to find a recipe for Hawaiian bread to make. I can't find the exact recipe right now but I'll link to it later. Mom thinks it needed some salt or something but I thought it was great!

Mommy said to go get an egg because we had run out. When I got to the nest, there was one hen on the nest. I tried to take her egg but she kept pecking me. I did eventually get the egg (by poking her with a stick until she left) but my hands where all pecked up. Then when mom put the egg over the rolls, she looked at the recipe and there were no instructions about putting egg over the rolls. Oh well. It looked good.

Chai Cupcakes

A few days ago I made some Chai cupcakes from a recipe book I got for my birthday. The only thing was I made a slight mistake. If you know me, you know I always make little mistakes during baking that always turn out delicious. It happened again. :) They were so good that I ate 5 out of the 12.

Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom, Cloves, and black pepper

Mmmm! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

My Cooking Experiences

Recently, I have been helping my mom in the kitchen (like I should be anyway). I decided that I wanted to contribute and found some recipes I wanted to make. Here are a couple of my experiences :)



Bacon Quiche      (recipe)

 I was so surprised that this actually turned out good! We threw in some broccoli that wasn't in the recipe. It was so good my grandma asked me how to make it!



Broccoli Cheese Soup     (recipe)

My goodness! They said carrots, julienne. It's gonna be pureed anyway! It was good but totally not worth making again. I like fairly simple things. :)

Diced Tomatoes

I just diced 3 tomatoes for salsa! I know it's not that big of an achievement but I'm not very good at cooking. Imagine how many little pieces of tomato are in there!

Daddy also went to Sam's and got a HUGE bag of chips!

Macy is looking so cute tonight!
