Whole Wheat Waffles

My husband went out with a friend tonight so I asked Dolphin what he wanted for dinner. He asked for breakfast dinner. Perfect time to experiment, I thought. I pulled out my grandma's cookbook and turned to my favorite waffle recipe. Then I tweaked it, and they turned out great. I hope you enjoy them too. (Sorry no pics, we ate them too fast!)

Whole Wheat Waffles

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon organic sugar, or sucanat

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder

2 organic eggs

1 1/2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1/3 cup virgin coconut oil, melted

Mix all together in a bowl. Cook in waffle iron until done.

I was surprised by how well they turned out. They will be a new family favorite.

Almond Butter Chocolate Green Smoothie

In my never-ending quest to get Monkey to eat fruits and vegetables, I have relied on green smoothies. I love them, my kids love them. We found a recipe this week that is so delicious it shouldn't be good for you. It is from simple.healthy.tasty. I have changed the recipe to fit my family. I don't like to use a lot of peanut butter and prefer almond butter.

Almond Butter Chocolate Green Smoothie

2 cups Almond Milk (I have used half almond milk and half water and it still tastes great.)

2 LARGE handfuls of spinach

2 heaping tablespoons of Almond Butter

1 tablespoon honey

2 or 3 frozen bananas

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Place almond milk and spinach in blender and blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend to desired consistency.
