What I Ate Wednesday: Week 14

Breakfast

Chocolate Chex. So not healthy, but I was wanting something easy. 

Lunch

Leftover Roasted Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy. I was really wanting some comfort food on Monday night. Luckily, I planned ahead and took a chicken out to defrost over the weekend.

Dinner

Meatballs, Spaghetti, and a Salad with Parmesan Dressing, Cheese, and Croutons. I made a CRAZY amount of meatballs. Good thing they freeze well.

On a side note...Would you please pray for my best friend, Carolyn, and her family? Her father recently ended his battle with cancer. Just five months after her mother died. Their hearts are heavy with grief. Thank you.

P.S. Coming Soon....What I Ate in Disneyworld. =)

Waffles

We love waffles around here. We thought we had to give them up, because traditional recipes were very high in sodium. Not anymore! Thanks to the 500 Low Sodium Recipes book.

1 Cup All Purpose Flour

1 Teaspoon Sodium Free Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon of Sugar

1 Egg

3/4 Cup of Milk (the recipe says Skim, but I use 2%)

1 Tablespoon of Unsalted Butter, Melted

Any add in you desire (blueberries, chocolate chips, etc)

Mix together dry ingredients. 

Combine egg, milk, and melted butter. 

Add to dry ingredients.

Mix until just blended. Do not overbeat.

Bake according to waffle iron directions.

Yields 2 Servings. I usually double the recipe so we have leftovers. 

Each serving as about 99 mg of Sodium! 

Notes:

Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature. If they aren't your melted butter turns solid. 

I strongly suggest adding blueberries or the like to the batter. We had them plain and not even Knaebe's Cinnamon Apple Syrup could save them. 

Topping Ideas:
Butter (duh)
Powdered Sugar
Jams and Jellies
Syrup

The ingredients

The Flour, Baking Powder, and Sugar

The Milk, Eggs, and Melted Butter

Combine the "Wet Team" to the "Dry Team" and combine until just blended.

Add to the waffle iron.

Ta Da! I made chocolate chip this time around. The blueberry ones I made last week were really good as well.

What I Ate Wednesday

This is a popular thing to do with people who have food blogs. I thought I would give it a try. The premise is to post what you ate on Tuesday on Wednesdays. I can't guarantee that it will always be healthy.

Breakfast

I am addicted to Chocolate Chex. It is so wrong, but feels so right!

Lunch

I made grilled cheese with Tom's Market (the local grocery store) cibatta bread with cheese that is terrible for you. You know, the creamy fake stuff. No, I did not feed this to my husband.

Dinner

Spaghetti and Meatballs with Marinara and Salad with Parmesan Dressing. For the meatballs I used ground beef and ground pork. My husband enjoyed the combo. I am not a huge pork fan.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this first "What I Ate Wednesday".
