Waffle Night!

We started Father's Day a wee bit early and had waffles tonight for dinner!  I use the recipe from The Joy of Cooking for our waffles.  They are soooooo good!  We make these a couple times a month for dinner and it is a family favorite.

For the Strawberry sauce we used some of the strawberry jam I canned today, yeah that jar didn't last long!  I used this recipe from Ball^® for the jam.

The whip cream is also homemade and could not be easier!

Ingredients
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract

Directions
Add all the ingredients into your mixer bowl, I have a Kitchen Aid Mixer, and beat on high with the whisk attachment until it has stiff peaks.

Smoothie time!!

My Anything Smoothie

Ingredients

1/2 cup Coconut Almond Milk

5 Large Strawberries

1 Ripe Banana

1 Handful Spinach

1 teaspoon Ground Flax Seed

1/2 cup Frozen Blueberries

Directions

Put all the ingredients in the blender with the frozen goodness on the top.  Blend until all smooth and straw friendly.

Notes

This will work with just about any fruit you have on hand.  I normally buy my fruit and veggies at the beginning of the week and freeze any leftovers at the end of the week.  This frozen fruit works really well for smoothies, spinach included!
