004. Whole Wheat Waffle Sticks

This morning I made some really yummy whole wheat waffles. I chose the recipe because it says the waffles reheat in the toaster well. Recently I've really been wanting to make as much of my food from scratch as possible. Today (hopefully) I'm also planning to make Whole Wheat Everything Bagels. (I'll post my rant about that later.) Anyway, I wanted to share my breakfast before I run off and start my errands and such.

So here we go - Whole Wheat Waffle Sticks

Here's the batter and the first batch cooking. Clearly I overfilled the waffle stick maker. Yes, I have a waffle stick maker. Yes, it is awesome.

Here's the first batch cooling. I split these up into two sets of four, wrapped 'em up, and froze them. This morning I ate them with frozen mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries) and a tablespoon of light syrup. Here it is at it's yummiest.

(Ignore the icky paper plate. I forgot to run the dishwasher last night and all my plates were dirty.)

I also made some Acorn Squash Seeds this morning (I didn't have any pumpkin seeds. I dropped the ball.), but they didn't turn out so great. I used Caitlin's Sugar and Spice Pumpkin seeds recipe, but I forgot to account for the fact that I had WAY less seeds and used much too much cinnamon and sugar. They're yummy, but they're not great.

Well, there will be more later. Definitely a bagel making post if I get to that today (which I REALLY want to!) For now I'm off to Target, Jewel, and the Entenmann's outlet store. More later!

  1. Looks delish, and yse, I stil want that whole wheat everything bagel recipe! I never knew they had special machines to do waffle sticks. I have a waffle machine I got for my wedding shower, but I think I've only used it once.

    Also, I love the Entermann's outlet store, though it is kind of evil (all those cakes and cookies for cheap!) but usually I get away with just buying English muffins. Usually.

  2. I'm hoping to make the bagels this weekend. It's just SUCH a lengthy process it has to be done on a Saturday or Sunday. It will happen though!

    I love making waffles! My parent's have one of those professional grade Belguim waffle makers -the kind they have at hotels where you pour the batter in, flip it over and then hit the timer button and it cooks for like 3 minutes. It's seriously the best thing ever!

    I'm usually pretty good at avoiding the temptations of the Entermann's outlet. I would honestly much rather have a homemade cookie than something store bought anyway. Occassionally the donuts tempt me, but I usually just get-in, get-out, no browsing. Seriously though, I can get a package of sandwich thins for $1 - 2 there; how could I pass that up!?
