I am an equal opportunity cook: I cook things from scratch, I cook things from a box, I cook healthy foods and not-so-healthy foods, I prepare meals, snacks, and desserts, light dishes and comfort dishes, meals with and without meat, with/without dairy... If it has the potential to be delicious I will cook it. That being said, there should be a little bit of something on here for everybody who likes to cook--and eat!

Waffles with Blueberries!!!





Today is Saturday. I slept in, and it was glorious! There's nothing like sleeping until you're completely refreshed and ready to get out of bed! I love waking up to a crisp and quiet morning!

Saturday mornings are magical. Something about them makes all that is good even better: The sun shines brighter, the birds sing, the air seems clearer... A home-cooked breakfast is always the perfect way to start off the day!

This morning I decided on waffles, so I got out my trusty waffle iron and whipped up some waffles:

I brewed some delicious coffee for my hubby, which has cinnamon and chocolate undertones in it! Yum!
Getting everything prepped...
I decided to go with blueberry waffles, so I heated up some frozen blueberries with about a teaspoon of sugar and then mashed them up. TIP: Frozen blueberries are a great way to add fruit to snacks and meals. They have a longer shelf-life than fresh blueberries, which makes them more convenient as well. We like to add them to oatmeal, cereal, and smoothies!



Blueberries can get a little messy when you're mashing them, but they taste amazing!



Homemade waffles with butter and syrup! Great with coffee or a cold glass of Almond Milk!

TIP: Almond Milk is a great substitute for milk. Original is great in cereal, and the Vanilla flavored is excellent for drinking!
 
Waffles with warm blueberry topping! Yum!
Today's "Saturday Morning Breakfast" was perfect: A quiet, sunny morning. A cool breeze outside with a bright blue sky. The sound of calmness filling the house. The smell of cinnamon coffee, blueberries, and waffles with syrup... And the taste of fresh, buttery, syrupy, waffles, covered in a warm blueberry topping... It was blueberry-tastic!!! What a great way to start the weekend!
