Oh waffles! I like these a lot better than plain ol waffles and syrup. They're a hands-on, no-utensil way to get a bunch of nutrition in first thing which is great if I've slept funny or am in the middle of a nasty flare. My toppings of choice have been plain soy yogurt, cinnamon, granola, and banana with either a sprinkle of coconut or pumpkin seeds. I just got strawberries today so I'll be able to mix up my breakfast fruits a bit.
What are these? Stuffed mushrooms! These are really really easy to make and are a nice way to compliment a meal or serve as an appetizer. These used to be served at a restaurant I used to work at and I did experimenting at home to see if I could get it similar to how they had it, and it worked great. Nowadays I use the Tofutti faux cheesy products, but it still works!
Easy stuffed Mushrooms
-Stuffing base (1/3 part cream cheese, 2/3 part sour cream)
-Chopped green onion to taste
-Garlic powder to taste
-Plain white mushrooms
-Veggie broth or bouillon cubes
In a small pot, bring the veggie broth to a boil. While the broth is heating up, cut out the stems of your mushrooms. In a small bowl, mix your stuffing base, green onion, and garlic powder.
Boil your "gutted" mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, then fill with your stuffing. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For my dish I used 1/3 cup cream cheese, 2/3 cup sour cream, I think 4 stalks of green onion, and a little over 1/8 tsp of garlic powder. This turned out to be too much for the amount of mushrooms I bought, but this does make a tasty and flavourful veggie dip so I've been using up the excess that way.

I've still been drinking up my Green Monsters. I actually miss them when I'm out of spinach! Here's what my "perfected" drinks have been looking like as of late. Might as well call em Purple Monsters cause the blueberries I love turn them that color!
"Purple Monster"
1 handful spinach
1 handful frozen blueberries
2 frozen strawberries
1/2 banana
3/4 scoop protein powder
Drizzle of agave nectar
Soy milk (+ some water if the mixture is too thick)
I also recently found that our coffee grinder isn't really used to grind coffee anymore, so I've got free reign to grind up flax and hemp seeds I found in Whole Foods' bulk department. Hooray!
