When Mia and I were first married we were tremendously poor. For Christmas gifts one of our first years I created a Biscuit Mix which I bagged in plastic bags, Mia made small canvas bags and we made a stencil “Ron and Mia’s Biscuit Mix” and carefully stenciled our brand upon each bag. The bagged biscuit mix and an instruction card were placed in the canvas bags and the bag was closed with raffia. How crafty huh?
The “Biscuit Mix” was a commercial product, Bisquick, and I added 1 tablespoon of Seasoning Salt, big with us back then, and a couple of tablespoons of dried parsley. It was a success! Cute and well received. My mother-in-law loved it and asked for the recipe for a couple of years. [...]
Waffles need not be syrupy sweet and relegated to breakfast! Waffles can be many things such as my Chocolate Waffle Layer Cake or served piled with Fried Chicken, a Southern favorite. This Cheddar and Blue Cheese Waffle is a wonderful lunch treat served piled with diced Spring onions and creamy sour cream. Serve with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc and toast the decadence of waffles and cream for lunch!
When you work with this waffle think savory not sweet. Change it to your taste but add things like tomatoes, roasted peppers, red onions, slivers of ham or bacon, even medallions of pork or grilled chicken breast. This hearty waffle will support a light luncheon or a protein heavy main meal.
