Raspberry, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Waffles Recipe

I invited my little cousin over for a sleepover this weekend.  She started the 7th grade not too long ago and we needed some serious girl talk about the year so far!  We stayed up all night watching movies, eating lots of popcorn and of course gossiping!  In the morning I decided to make breakfast, I was scared I was going to wake her up, but nope, she was passed out on the couch.  I made my raspberry, cinnamon and brown sugar waffles and she loved them.  They are made with quick-cooking oats and fresh fruit so they are super healthy and keeps you full!  

1/2 cup of quick-cooking oats

1 cup of all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of cinnamom

1/3 cup of brown sugar

1 egg

3 tablespoons of vegetable oil

1 1/3 cup of milk

1/3 cup of raspberries, thawed

Maple Syrup

Butter (optional)
Powdered Sugar (optional)

1.  Preheat your waffle iron according to the directions from the manufacturer's.

2.  In a medium size bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients.  Then add the wet ingredients, excluding the raspberries.  Stir until well combined.  Now gently fold in the raspberries.

3.  Now spoon the recommended amount of waffle batter (my waffles take about 1/3 cup of batter).  Be careful not to  overfill the waffle iron.  Close the top and then cook until the waffles is golden on both sides.  Remove add to serving plate and then top with maple syrup and butter.  

Double Berry Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Get your Labor Day on!  This is a deliciously sweet, mildly fruity barbeque sauce that is balanced out with a jaleopeno kick to it!  This grilling season you are going to want to slather all your meat in it!  I like it because it helps me to empty out all the leftover sauces and jams in my fridge, that I feel guilty tossing since there isn't a whole lot left.  Top with my No Mayo 5 Ingredient Coleslaw for a crunch!  It's super easy to make and the ginger in it pairs lovely with this sauce.  

  

1/3 cup cup of blackberry jam

1/3 cup of strawberry jam

1 cup of barbecue sauce (I used 2/3 cup of Famous Dave's and then used up whatever else was in the fridge)

2 teaspoons of season all

2 tablespoons of Worcestshire sauce

2 jaleponos, minced finely

1 yellow onion, diced

3 large, skinless boneless chicken breasts

Hamburger buns

1.  Mix all the ingredients together, besides the chicken in a bowl, until well combined.  In a slow cooker add the chicken and pour sauce over it.  Cover and cook 3-4 hours on high.  Shred chicken with a fork and serve with my No Mayo 5 Ingredient Coleslaw
