Waffles:
http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2010/07/23/recipe-whole-wheat-waffles/

Whole-Wheat Waffles

SERVES: 4 - 5

 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ¾ cups milk (I have used everything from skim milk to thick buttermilk…so whatever you have on hand should work)
• ¼ cup oil (I used melted butter)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour (I used King Arthur’s organic white whole-wheat flour)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ⅛ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your waffle iron.
2. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, honey, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
3. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk together just until the large lumps disappear.
4. When the waffle iron is hot, dab it with a little butter and then ladle some batter onto the center of the iron. Follow the instructions that came with your waffle maker to know how long it should be cooked (mine takes about 3 - 4 minutes each).
5. Keep waffles warm until you finish cooking all of them. Top with pure maple syrup and fruit. Enjoy!

Berry Syrup: 

Ingredients

• 1 cup blueberries, washed
• 1 Cup Strawberries, washed
• ½ cup sugar (I used sucanat)
• 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons water, divided
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Combine 2 Tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small dish and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring water, sucanat (or sugar) and berrys to a boil. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add water+cornstarch mixture and blend well. The sauce will thicken, the berrys will have busted open and it begins to smell like pie.
3. Store in refrigerator up to 30days. Take out a few minutes before serving at room temperature or warm.

http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cheesy-chicken-enchilada-soup-recipe/

PREP: 5 MIN COOK: 15 MIN TOTAL: 20 MIN

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup diced white onion (about 1 small white onion)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup masa harina
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
• 1 1/4 cups (or 1 10-ounce can) red enchilada sauce, homemade or store-bought*
• 1 (14-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices (I prefer fire-roasted)
• 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
• 1 teaspoon salt, or more/less to taste
• optional toppings: tortilla chips/strips, diced/sliced avocado, grated cheese, sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, and/or pico de gallo

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat the oil in a large stock over medium-high heat. (To save time, peel and dice the onion for the minute or so that the oil heats.) Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, or until cooked and translucent. Add the garilc and saute for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in the masa harina and cook for an additional minute.
2. Pour in half of the chicken stock, and stir until completely combined. Add in the remainder of the chicken stock, and stir to combine. Immediately add in the chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, tomatoes, green chiles, salt and cumin, and stir until combined. Continue stirring occasionally until the mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the soup does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Then stir in the cheese, one handful at a time, until combined. Taste, and season the soup to taste with salt.
3. Serve the soup warm with desired toppings.
