Chocolate Waffles
I have a waffle iron and I made a chocolate cake batter (yes from a box.)
I sprayed the iron and made chocolate waffles.
I melt butter and mix 1-2 tablespoon of hot cocoa mix. I made like a glaze.
Beef soup
Imagine the show Chopped.
You have the following ingredients: 1 pound beef roast, can of corn, can of green beans, and rice.
I made a beef veggie soup over rice and it was hardy.
It was good to have on day when you are stuck inside avoiding a virus.
I have to say that fat on your beef is your best friend for flavor.
French Toast Pancakes
I made pancakes just as on box. . . However I added a
Tablespoon of sugar
Two teaspoons of vanilla
Tablespoon of cinnamon.
It tasted really savory and sweet.

Naughty Food
There is a term I heard called food porn. I laugh at the term, but today I took some shots if the food we made. . .
Steak. Yumm.
Phase one of dark forest cake (chocolate and cherries)
Sweet potato fries
Yummy amazing food.
Salads
Today with dinner, I had a salad. . . It was simple ice burg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarrella cheese and a poppyseed dressing. It was light and comforting.
I also love my loaded salads. Croutons, bacon pieces, lots of cheeses, even sun flowers or pecans. . The combinations are endless. . .each salad is its own piece of edible art. It is a fun, mostly healthy enjoyable piece of meal.
I grew up with having side salad at meals with extended family. I have always enjoyed them, sometimes they are my favourite part of the meal.
