We are still in the delicious waffle honeymoon phase at our home. I continue to make the tasty Trim Healthy Mama Blender Freezer Waffles recipe, although, I still have not needed to store them in the freezer. They just do not last that long at our home to ever be put in the freezer! Every day for breakfast, The Salesman will eat 1-2 waffles along with a breakfast meat. If I offer something different, and I often do, he chooses his number one waffle order. And he has become very proficient in letting me know when there is only one waffle left in the refrigerator waffle box. It is not some special container just for waffles, it just happens to have become home to the waffles. And this large rectangular see through box-like container, that in the past has stored many a food item, is now known as the *waffle box*. Like a box of donuts; but, picture healthy waffles instead.
I have branched out with the waffles and will sometimes make a fold-over sandwich out of a waffle for lunch. For me. Yum. The Salesman still sees waffles and wants to just put syrup on them. Today, I put a piece of chicken sausage and a little bit of Duke’s and called it lunch. It was so tasty! Since it was nearly 2 pm when I fixed my waffle fold-over, I did not stop to take a picture. Pictured is a waffle sandwich from a few weeks ago when I had fresh garden tomatoes from The Salesman’s dads garden.
Well, I thought we should mix things up and try something different on the waffles for The Salesman at breakfast time. You know the saying: “variety is the spice of life” – I guess I was thinking of that when I thought I should try to make The Salesman’s morning waffle routine a bit more interesting. I found a recipe at Gwen’s Nest for a Sugar Free Berry Syrup and made it promptly. I felt like I had done something wonderful because she suggested the syrup be stored in a jar in the refrigerator. Like I had canned it, or something. I thought if awards were being given for presentation, this jar would win.
The Sugar Free Berry Syrup was so easy to make. Head over to Gwen’s blog and enjoy all her pictures and helpful hints and notes for this recipe.
And the taste of the syrup was, and is, fabulous!
But, The Salesman has already told me he prefers his waffles with plain sugar free syrup. I should not be so surprised! So, if you stop by this week, I will be offering you waffles with some tasty mixed berry syrup!
Enjoy!
