Instead of using milk or buttermilk in waffles, I decided to puree some raspberries and use them as the main liquid ingredient. I really didn't expect to end up with thick, puffy waffles, but these were some of the thickest, puffiest ones I've made to date (we don't have a Belgian waffle maker, so our waffles tend to be relatively thin but...

The first time I ever went to Trader Joe's (back on our road trip to Minnesota in the summer of 2010), I bought cat cookies and a box of pumpkin pancake and waffle mix to bring back to Texas with me. I savored and nursed that box of mix for months before sadly, I ran out. These were the days just before I started making most everything from...

A few weeks ago, I told you Dustin was mad that I chose to order my waffles at The Tasting Kitchen sans bacon in the middle. So for football brunch, I remedied the lack of bacon stuffed waffles in our lives. Rich buttermilk waffles taste absolutely delicious with chunks of crispy, smoky bacon in the middle covered in maple syrup. These waffles...

The 4th of July party and all of the desserts were a success. We started baking at 7 AM, but before that, we ate a delicious and somewhat decadent breakfast— buttermilk chocolate chip waffles with bourbon maple syrup, decorated to look like an American flag with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. I definitely dug the bourbon maple...

I stumbled upon a recipe for waffles using champagne in the batter around New Year's Eve as a way to use up leftover champagne from an evening of celebration. We weren't planning on eating breakfast on New Year's Day, as we didn't plan on getting up until afternoon, and even then we didn't plan on cooking. I decided maybe this would be a fun...

I am planning on eating as much gingerbread as humanly possible this December— for breakfast, lunch, and dessert. Dustin would probably kill me if I served him something gingerbread for dinner! I love the flavor of gingerbread in waffles and pancakes, and have very fond memories of some delicious gingerbread pancakes from Kerbey Lane in...

TODAY IS OUR WEDDING DAY! That can only mean one thing— lots of cake! Well maybe it means more than just that, but there will be lots of cake at today's festivities :) Given the copious amounts of cake consumption that will be occurring and as a way to celebrate what a special day it is, today seemed like a good time to discuss the cake batter...

The coconut pancakes, perfectly light and fluffy, from the Hobbit Cafe in Houston that we discovered shortly before moving are the Houston brunch food I miss the most. I used to despise coconut, but we ate this amazing coconut cream pie the night we got engaged and ever since then, for some reason I really enjoy the flavor of coconut. Who knew...

As mentioned previously, I'm binging on gingerbread this holiday season. I want to eat so much gingerbread this month that I'm sick of it and don't end up craving it for the rest of the year. I believe I am well on my way to my goal with this cake. I made this to serve as dessert to our guests after our Tex-Mex baked pasta. I've been reminiscing...

I think chocolate waffles are Dustin's favorite sweet breakfast. We bought the Williams Sonoma Chocolate-Chocolate Chip Waffle Mix before, but I was sure I could make delicious waffles from scratch. I used this recipe I found online except that part way through mixing the wet ingredients that I only had one cup of buttermilk, not the necessary...
