Candy Cane Shaped Raspberry Cheese Danish

December 2nd, 2022Tina0 Comments

I’ve got the most Christmas-y festive treat for you (and it’s not cookies). I’ve made this raspberry cheese danish a number of times. I shared it with you originally in 2013 and again in 2019 (same recipe, just updated pictures). It always comes out pretty and it’s always a huge hit, especially with my dad and husband. My parents came out for a visit last week to see the home decorated for Christmas, so I thought I’d make the danish again. But wait, there’s more. 😉 I saw online that you can shape a cheese danish into a candy cane …

Sourdough Waffles

August 26th, 2020Tina0 Comments

I know what you’re having for breakfast this weekend. It took my husband a few tries to get the recipe for these sourdough waffles just right. I didn’t mind at all because it was a good excuse to have waffles for breakfast. You know, it’s a hard job being a food blogger sometimes. 😉 These waffles are Belgian style so they are thick, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Who else loves the extra crunchy bits on the sides from the waffle iron? Since these waffles have sourdough starter in them, they have a slight sourdough flavor. …

Sourdough – Biscuits

Sourdough. Like the pet you never named, well, most people don’t name their sourdough starter anyway. Maybe I (Dave) should name mine. 🙂 There is a bit of a process involved with sourdough. If you are properly maintaining yours, there will be starter that you discard pretty regularly. You have a choice here. You can throw it away (don’t feel bad, everyone does it) or you can try to come up with sourdough things to do with it. In this case, I suggest taking some of the starter you were going to throw away and turn it into biscuits instead. …

Part Whole Wheat Waffles

January 21st, 2020Tina0 Comments

I love when my husband makes us breakfast on the weekends. Weekend breakfast time is the best. It’s a time to slow down, when we cook together and enjoy each other’s company over delicious food. (And when I say we cook, I mean that he cooks and I watch, we’re together at least.) And since calories don’t count on the weekend, we look forward to taking a break from our usual week day yogurt or oatmeal and splurge on delicious calorie filled breakfast items. In my opinion, my husband’s breakfasts are better than what we’d have at a restaurant and …

Our Favorite Waffle Recipe

October 19th, 2018Tina0 Comments

What kind of waffle iron do you have? (Assuming you have one, of course.) When my husband and I got married, we registered for a Belgian waffle maker. I don’t remember why we chose that kind. Maybe I liked the thought of those deep waffle pockets, maybe we just didn’t have a waffle maker and that’s what they offered to register for. A few months ago my husband decided that he wanted to buy a normal waffle maker. Little did he know how long that quest was going to be. As it turns out, what people thought of as waffles 30 …
