Hunting on 297

Larry, our photographer son, gave us a waffle iron for Christmas.  I think it was a hint .. but a welcome one.  I made our mid morning snack on it yesterday.  Excellent addition to my kitchen supplies!  Thanks, Larry.

I'm the host of Scavenger Hunt 297 and sketched on my iPad with my fingers and the app, Brushes.  I like that app a lot.  I'm sure there are others where you can edit the sketch/drawing more, but I'm used to this one and it suits me for sketching.  I have not planned to do finished drawings on it.  I prefer painting with pastels and paint, at least for now.

Number 1, snack - waffles and Number 2, left overs - well not many left overs on my plate!  I froze the two waffles that were left for another snack.

For my gluten free friends, I used the gluten free Bisquick and recipe on the box.  The only change I made was I added an extra egg so that I could beat the egg whites like I used to do in traditional waffles.  That makes them more fluffy and definitely different than pancakes.  With gluten free it helps hold them together as well.  It adds a tad of protein to a sugary and carbohydrate loaded snack, right?  I make the syrup and we eat peanut butter on them.  I like a bit of molasses to remind me of my dad.  He loved molasses on sour dough biscuits and pancakes or waffles.  Yummy...

We got a fancy waffle maker last year. I had to put it away for awhile since waffles are not on our diet, but I got it back over Thanksgiving. The GGs love for me to cook those canned cinnamon rolls. They just take a minute in the waffle iron. I also have a recipe for chocolate cookies made with the waffle iron. I haven't made them in a while either :(

Bag Blog, waffles are definitely not diet items on any diet. Good once in a blue moon. Nice to see you!

Joanna, slowly, very slowly, sketching is becoming moe enjoyable. It still feels like homework sometimes. :-)
