Whole Wheat Waffle Night

Wednesday nights are our breakfast nights. It's nice to know that going into the day, so I don't have to worry about what kind of food I'm going to fix and breakfast is super quick and easy to make. Whole wheat waffles have become a favorite for us. They aren't the world's healthiest meal, but it's ok to have a little sugar every once in a while. And it's still much better than eating out, not to mention very cheap!  Here is our typical meal:

Waffles:
2 eggs (beaten)
2 cups whole wheat flour (or do half flour, half whole wheat flour if you're gradually switching to whole wheat)
1 3/4 cup skim milk (organic)
1/2 cup melted coconut oil (just stick in the microwave for 15 seconds)
1/2 tbsp. aluminum free baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. sugar (the real stuff, not artificial)

Mix well. Pour into greased waffle maker. Cook until lightly browned and crispy on the outside.
Our waffle maker broke, so we are using a waffle maker that forms the batter into cups. They make great bowls for the fruit!

Eggs:
1 egg per person
dash of skim milk
dash of shredded cheddar cheese

Beat together. Pour into greased skillet. Stirring constantly, cook until no longer runny. Doesn't need salt.

Cut up some fruit to top the waffles with.
Need some more food, add some greek yogurt to your dinner.
