January 16th

Planned breakfast: waffles? I wrote the question mark on the planning sheet. You just never know if you're going to feel like it on a Saturday morning. Actual breakfast, made by Seth while I slept in just a little bit: waffles. How's that for being on the same page?! Plus we had a super-old jar of strawberry jam, out of which the sugar had migrated, so that it actually looked like a jar of bacon grease in the fridge, and we melted it down and had the kids eat it on their pancakes. They wouldn't eat it as jam in that condition, so GOTCHA AGAIN!

Planned dinner:Pioneer Woman Twice Baked Potatoes. ...and this is what we had. I actually worked hard and made a delicious dinner on a Saturday. She said they freeze well, so I made her full 8-potato recipe and froze the leftovers for lunches. I'll be the judge of whether they freeze well or not.

Here's our waffle recipe:

2 eggs
2 c. flour
1 3/4 c. milk
1/2 c. oil
1 T. sugar
4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt

Beat eggs, add remaining ingredients and beat just until smooth. Bake in preheated waffle iron.

We sometimes swap out 1/4 c. of the oil for applesauce. This is actually from Betty Crocker. Our waffle iron is pretty big, like almost Belgian, and these rise up and fill it no problem.
