:: marian's buttermilk whole wheat waffles ::

overnight,

our weather has turned chilly & rainy.

we are happy to oblige.

we've traded popsicles for hot chocolate,

and it's time to swap breakfast smoothies

for buttery waffles.

marian is our resident waffle chef.

she tested many recipes

and finally developed her own.

she likes to make a batch on the weekend

and freeze the extras to pop in the toaster

for quick & easy waffles during the school week.

{worlds better than the usual toaster waffles}

:: marian's buttermilk whole wheat waffles ::

3 1/2 cups flour 

{note: she uses 2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour + 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour}

2 Tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

3 1/2 cups buttermilk

1 cup canola oil


mix and bake {in your waffle iron}. 
top with butter, warm maple syrup, & fresh whipped cream.
we also like to add almond butter & berries {yum}.

cool extra waffles on wire racks & freeze to enjoy another day.

earthly delights :: csa bounty continues

i thought i'd post a few more things

i made from last week's share...

baked squash & frittata

baked carnival squash with

☼sage butter & fried sage leaves☼

{the mindblowing recipe for sage butter is here}

i made the frittata with

sauteed onions, leeks, garlic, 

yellow crookneck squash, & rainbow chard.

after sauteing, i added beaten eggs, 
cheese, tomatoes, salt & pepper

and baked at 350° until it was set {30 min}.

end of summer salsa

tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomatillos,

ground cherries, jalapeno pepper,

juice of one lime, salt & pepper.
so, so good on black bean tacos.

minestrone

made mostly with roasted tomatoes,
summer squash, and eggplant.

{i also added pasta, chick peas, cabbage, celery, carrot}

pasta with pesto

{i really love pulling pesto out of the freezer}

thank you, casey & lori!
