Belgian Waffles

Who likes waffles?  We do but don't have them nearly enough around here.  The other day Carly told me that we were having waffles at her house and for me to bring my own bottle.  She was talking about bottle of syrup.  They know I drown my waffles in syrup and butter.  Yes, I do have a weakness for those. I do and love fresh fruits too along with fresh whipped cream.  Fresh locally grown strawberries and blueberries are my favorite.  It is a good thing we have them so rarely.

Today's recipe is very easy and uses self rising flour. My Mama "Dot" and the grandmothers really used self rising flour a lot. They are not extra sweet because of my syrup habit..Add more sugar if you wish.
A little trivia:   Henry Jones, a baker from Bristol in the United Kingdom invented self-raising flour in 1845
You can use all purpose flour if you wish.  As a general rule for a 1 cup of all purpose flour you will need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.  if using buttermilk you should also add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Today we use self rising for quick simple Belgian Waffles.....

Cole Slaw

Today I share a very good recipe for slaw.  I've never been one to make Cole Slaw frequently but this recipe you will love.  Locally we have lots of restaurants that serve it with so many dishes.  I have to say one thing.  When it is good it is good but when it is bad it is bad!  This you will like.

Hushpuppies

Moist little balls of fried fluffy cornbread hushpuppies.  They go so well with so many things.  We in the South have them with Fresh Fried Fish, Chicken Bog, Pulled Pork Bar B Que among other things.
It is said that this tasty treat was first made in the South of course and fed to the dogs who would be standing around wanting some of that fish that was frying...People would throw them one and say, "Hush Puppy!".  Today I share two of my very easy recipe variations....

Easy Candied Yams (Sweet Potatoes)

In a hurry and don't have any fresh sweet potatoes but want some.  Canned sweet potatoes are a quick way to go.  Truthfully I don't use them often but my mama Dot did at times when the fresh ones weren't available.  These are especially good with Chicken Bog.  Today I share a quick candied recipe that I've made for years.....
