Sometimes I dream of opening up a restaurant on Buckeye Lake that serves healthy food – not the continuous stream of greasy bar food currently served at various establishments. We’ve even given it a name -- Alicia’s on the Lake.
Well this morning I made a great breakfast and I’ve decided it would be added to the menu of my imaginary restaurant – Cornmeal Waffles with Blueberry Sauce.The inspiration started with a comment from Dave about the blueberries being “not so sweet”. So I put them in a saucepan, added about a ½ cup of sugar and some water and let it cook away on the stove. Since it wasn’t getting as thick as I’d like, I add small slurry of cornstarch. Then it was perfect.
Then I made the waffles using one of my go-to pantry staples, the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. (I love Jiffy mixes.)
Following the recipe on the box, I made them using my no-name brand waffle maker that I’ve had for at least 15 years. Surprisingly it makes pretty good waffles.
Well I didn’t know they be as good as they were so I ate them before taking a picture. Sorry!
Adding some bacon and an egg, Dave should be good to go until lunch. Unfortunately I have no inspirational ideas for lunch. Greasy bar food here we come....
