Breakfast and Bites Around the Blogosphere

Day 150.

 

Yesterday, I got my very first fire ant bite since moving to Georgia almost a year ago. The little devil bit me on my Achilles tendon and it's been swelling, itching, and hurting ever since. Anyone have a home remedy for ant bites?

Here's a recipe for some yummy, healthier waffles to kick-start your Sunday. The cook up puffy, fluffy, and aromatic. Enjoy them with apple butter, honey, or maple syrup...or just by themselves.

Apple-Cinnamon Waffles

What You Need:

• 2 cups flour (use all-purpose, whole wheat, or a combination of the two)
• 2 Tbsp sugar (you can actually omit this entirely if you'd like!)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• dash of sea salt
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup apple sauce
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

How it's Done:

1. Preheat your waffle iron.
2. Meanwhile, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk. Stir in applesauce.
4. Combine dry ingredients and wet ingredients.
5. Pour 1/3 cup batter onto a standard size waffle iron and cook as manufacturer suggests.
