Breakfast 6/15/15

Strawberry Coconut Waffles with Yogurt Dipping Sauce



Ingredients:

Waffles-
1 c whole wheat flour
2 tsp coconut sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 c chopped strawberries
1/4 c coconut milk (any milk will do)
1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/4 c strawberry jam (I used this one http://www.thenaturalnurturer.com/blog/2014/7/7/strawberry-chia-jam)
3 T unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Yogurt Sauce:
1/2 c full fat yogurt (Greek or regular)
3 tbsp strawberry jam
splash maple syrup

Directions:
Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl.  In another bowl combine milk, oil, vanilla, egg, coconut flakes, and jam, and stir till mixed.  Add strawberries.  Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the wet, stirring until just mixed.  If too thick, add a few T more of milk until you reach your desired thickness.  Spoon about 1/4 C batter into your waffle iron (or use the scoop provided if yours is like mine).  Serve hot, dipped in yogurt sauce (to make sauce just mix everything together).

3 Meals: 5/12/15

Brown Butter Pumpkin Waffles-
http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/brown-butter-pumpkin-waffles/

This made 10 waffles, so I froze 5.  (2 for daddy, 1 for babies, 1 for mommy, and 1 for babies later this week.)

Modifications-
I love that these are whole wheat, but I wish they didn't use sugar.  Sub coconut sugar for a lower glycemic level.  It's similar to brown sugar, which is what the recipe calls for.  Cut the salt and syrup, they're unnecessary.
*Note- I just melted the butter because I didn't have time to down brown butter today.  It's still yum.  Also, we didn't have buttermilk, but you can make your own with 1 T of vinegar or lemon juice in regular milk.  However, I needed to use up some half and half, so I used 1 C half and half, 1 C whole milk.  Turned out just fine.
Playoff Meatballs

This made enough for 4 baby meals (for both babies- so 8 meatballs in each meal), plus mama had a portion.  I froze 2 meals and saved 1 for later this week.

Modifications- 
I halved the recipe because I didn't want 2 lbs of meatballs, HOWEVER, these will freeze beautifully if you want to stock your freezer.  
No salt or pepper.  
Make sure your BBQ sauce doesn't contain honey.  I also found one that had no high fructose corn syrup.  Bonus!
Spaghetti Squash with Moroccan Spices: 

Modifications:
I cut the salt and didn't use fresh cilantro because we're out.  I also cooked it in the oven (cut in half, cut sides down, roast at 350 for 1 hr 15 mins) instead of the oven.

Topping is supposed to be brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.  Instead put 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar into a 1/3 cup measure and then fill the rest with unsweetened coconut flakes. Mix with the 2 tbsp flour and sprinkle over top.
