Little Secret

While in Princeton a few months back, my mother-in-law sneaks in to the laundry room one morning while I'm assisting one of the children with something rather, holding a piece of waffle for me to try....."do you think he'll notice?!" she asks as I try a bite.

John is a little picky. Though he has improved immensely in the last year or two. Where Thai, Japanese, and Vietnamese food used to be a no-go, now he is the one asking me to pick up a few rolls at the local Japanese restaurant.

But these waffles are a different story altogether. (Just got carried away there). They are super amazing, and yet oh so sneaky. Oh, AND super easy. I hated the old "whip the egg whites till stiff" recipe. So time consuming, and so I would always revert to the pancakes for our Saturday breakfast. Now the waffles are my quick go to, yummy, delicious breakfast meal!

And wouldn't you know, I found the recipe on my own a few weeks later in the More With Less cookbook. (I love that cookbook.)

High Protein Waffles:

Throw all ingredients in a blender, and whirl at high speed for 1 minute. Then bake in your waffle iron. (It says, or pancakes in the recipe, but they were not good as pancakes!)

1 c. cream-style cottage cheese
4 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. milk
1/2. tsp vanilla


Did I mention John hates cottage cheese? And on the drive home from Princeton later that day, he starting going on about how amazing the waffles were? I couldn't help but laugh.
