Chaffle What??

Okay so tonight I decided to break out the old chaffle maker that I bought about 2 years ago but never used. No clue why but better late then never right?

You can literally have these made in under 12 minutes flat. They’re ridiculously easy.

Chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheddar cheese chaffle

  • 1 cup of shredded chicken or 1 can
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (makes it fluffy)
  • 1 cup of cheddar cheese
  • 2 pieces of crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup of onion sliced thin
  • powdered ranch seasoning 1 table spoon
  • salt, pepper, onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix all your ingredients
  2. Spray your chaffle maker with oil, butter, etc. I use Can’t believe It’s Not Butter Spray
  3. Put 1 – 2 scoops of the mixture on the chaffle maker but don’t over load

Don’t be afraid to add additional seasonings! I always play around with my ingredients until I get it right. Start with small portions when experimenting.

All the recipes had to start from somewhere right? Be creative and do your own thing.

Leftover Salt Potato Cheesy Goodness

I get bored of eating the same thing, not every day but even once a month. I love taking leftovers and turning them into a first time recipe. For instance, salt potatoes. All though they are so good, sometimes you just need to change things up a bit. So I took leftover salt potatoes, cut them up into small pieces and put each one in a muffin tin. I drizzled olive oil on top, sprinkled cheddar cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 1 – 12 Cooked salt potatoes, 1 for each muffin tin slot(however many you want to make)
  • 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese
  • a drizzle of olive oil(I prefer Specially Selected Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil) a GREAT product for the price)
  • 2 shakes of Italian seasoning

Large Crowd Summer Menu Cookout

Happy belated 4th of July!

Sometimes it’s hard to put together a menu suitable for a large crowd. You’ll have your gluten free guest, your guest sensitive to spices, another guest who cannot tolerate garlic, and your no onions please guest. Oh and your no beef guest.

So whenever my sister and I put together our menu for the next family function, we have to take all these request into consideration. And, we love it. It gives us an opportunity to get a gathering together fast and be creative.

Remember, more isn’t always necessary because people tend to have a few cocktails beforehand and also nosh on the chips and whatever else precedes the main course.

Here is our typical summer bbq menu:

We usually start with a platter of olives and pickles, chips, celery and ranch dressing. On occasion there will be buffalo chicken wing dip, cheese and crackers, etc.,

Next, here comes the burgers, hot dogs, sausage patties, sausage and peppers, and bbq chicken. Then we have the pasta salad, corn on the cob, and deviled eggs! Yum. I’m getting hungry just writing about it.

Lol well anyway this is just a gist of some menu items you can put together pretty quick for a large crowd.

Here are some pics of our family. I hope you all had a safe and happy 4th.

It was a great 4th of July. We even camped out back in the Yert. The boys slept in their hammocks. I’ll have to try that one night. They said it was wicked comfortable.

Oh geez I almost forgot the most important part of the menu lol, the adult beverage we fell in love with. Saranac’s Moscow Mule ginger beer. If you can get your hands on one, try it. They are so good ice cold. It’s really a great summer drink.
