Single Serving Waffle w/ Summer Berry Sauce

I've been craving a waffle for a long time. Having recently discovered and fallen in love with spelt flour, I knew I had to create a spelt waffle recipe. I'm also in the mode of creating single-serving recipes as I will be off to college in a month and don't want stacks and stacks of waffles sitting around. I also got the single serving idea because spelt flour is not cheap, and I didn't want to waste half the flour on tons of waffles that might go bad. Thus, the single serving waffle was created. I decided I actually really like the single-serving idea because then I only eat one waffle. When there's more, I usually just munch and munch on them.


This waffle turned out perfect! It had a nice crumb that was slightly crispy. I am totally a crispy waffle fan. I don't like the soft, gooey kind (I know, the one thing I don't like gooey!). I love the crunchy sound it makes when you put your fork to the waffle!


This waffle is also conveniently dairy, sugar, egg, and soy free as well as low fat. It's a perfect, healthy start to the day. Paired with a summer berry compote, and you've got a breakfast for champions! It great for when your feeling like some comfort food or just something new for breakfast because it doesn't leave you with a sugar coma.


This waffle is extremely easy and quick to make! Great for when you want a waffle on a weekday (which I usually do-who says waffles and pancakes are only for Saturday morning?!)


Single Serving Waffle

Ingredients:

1/3 cup spelt flour (or any flour)
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. Himalayan salt
½ tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. apple juice concentrate
1-2 Tbsp. water

Plug in your waffle iron to heat it up and spray it with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. In another bowl mix the wet. Gently stir the wet into the dry until just combined.  Pour the mixture onto the heated waffle iron and cook. Be careful when taking it out of the iron. To avoid it crumbling, I took each 4th section out by itself, rather than the whole thing at one time. Note: The waffle will harden slightly when taken out of the waffle iron.



Summer Berry Sauce

Ingredients:
                                                                                                          
3-4 strawberries, chopped
handful blueberries
2 Tbsp. apple juice concentrate
water, to desired thickness/thinness
dash cinnamon
honey, optional

Put everything in a saucepan and bring to a boil. (I squished the blueberries to help them combine with everything else). Stir occasionally. When the fruits are well mushed together, remove from heat. Add more water if too thick.

Pumpkin Pancakes

Image
I remember when I was younger, how it was always a special treat when my mom made pumpkin pancakes. It was probably one of the most glorious smells! We would cover  them in powdered sugar. My mom would say, "You probably don't need that much sugar." To which we would smugly reply, "But it falls off when you pick it up." Or, "it's not that  much!" Oh the days... I've always loved pumpkin pancakes, and so I knew it was time to make my own recipe, without all of the sugar. Now I think of pumpkin pancakes as a normal breakfast and not just a treat on a special occasion. I figure, it adds one more vegetable/fruit (whatever it is!) to my day! I created this recipe on a whim, and it actually turned out really good! I came up with the idea after my visit to the doctor. I've been trying to pack in as many fruits and vegetables, including in my baked goods. I figured putting pumpkin in pancakes was only reasonable...and delicious! I mad

Mock 'Cream of Broccoli Soup' w/ Quinoa

Like I mentioned earlier, I've gotten back on the green smoothie train, which I am loving! I forgot how wonderful they make me feel! These green smoothies are cold and refreshing, but I knew that when the winter came it would be harder for me to drink these everyday. But I still want the benefits from these nutrition powerhouses. So I got thinking. And I thought that there's gotta be a way to make a hot version of these smoothies, but not necessarily with the same ingredients. That was when I got the idea of soup! Now,  I know your probably thinking, "Great. Yippee. What's new?" However, this soup is not just your average, ordinary soup. It's basically a hot green smoothie without the fruit. Okay, now your probably really grossed out. But don't be, because this soup is AMAZING!!! As far as I know (keep in mind I haven't had one for a long time) it tastes like a store-bought, Campbell's can of Cream of Broccoli Soup. It's incredibly crea

Tropical Popsicle (in a bowl) no sugar

Tropical Popsicle  Yup, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! Okay, so maybe it's not a perfect rhyme, but it sounds musical doesn't it? And so it should...this deliciously cold, icy, fruity dish will not only be music to your ears, but to every taste bud in your mouth! It's the perfect solution to a blistering hot summer day. In fact, it could be considered medicine...you don't want heatstroke....so you eat this! :) Okay, moving on. Anyway. It was SOOOO hot today here in Cambodia! My mom and I decided we wanted to get out of the house (the sun always looks so wonderful from the inside) so we hopped on our bike and rode to some furniture stores (we're in search of a couch that is American-people size). Add the fact that we're already sweating and hot from the bike ride, these stores don't keep their AC on in order to save money. Here we were searching in a hot, sticky, musty furniture store for about an hour. Then we rode home. Needle
