Mooove OVER waffles.. fried chicken has upgraded!

Yep, that’s right… fried chicken has found a new, a softer, a sweeter, a fluffier, place to lay its head wing, and once you try this, there’s no going back to that regular-shmegular dry waffle! 

At first glance, this combo might seem a wee bit extra, BUT.. just give it one bite.. one savory, sweet, tender, crunchy bite~ and you too will be a new fan!

What you’ll need:

Uhhh.. you need fried chicken, and cinnamon rolls! mmhmm.. that’s IT!

Instructions:

Uhhh.. just stick some fresh fried chicken down into a fresh cinnamon roll, and drizzle the whole shebang with some cinnamon roll frosting. 

Serve warm, take a bite, die, go to heaven… repeat! ~Enjoy! 🙂

So, recently I saw a “recipe” for Cadbury Creme Egg MAYONNAISE.. and all I could think was “why didn’t I think of that” EWWWW!

In all honesty, I (as you probably know) love a good food mash-up.. BUT it needs to make sense, it needs to have something about it that actually sounds like it would be worth a try.. a glimmer of hope, one redeeming quality haha.. And I’m sorry, but the Mayo had none of that! So I got busy, I got my hands dirty, and here we are!

Now THIS makes sense. Crazy?.. maybe! BUT sense?.. yes! And after one taste, I can confirm it’s a keeper!

What you’ll need:

Peanut Butter

Cadbury Creme Eggs

Yep, THAT’S IT!

Instructions:

Combine them, smear it on pancakes, waffles, toast, use as a chip dip.. or heck, just grab a spoon.. trust me!

Yep, THAT’S IT!  ~Enjoy!

So I’ve realized recently that I have a slight obsession with that perfect sweet little puff we like to call the doughnut hole.  Oh..I know..out of all the things one can obsess over, doughnuts don’t seem too bad, however..just look at what that obsession has caused me to do.

Look at this will you~

For some reason I thought those mini delicious doughnuts would be even better if each tender ball of dough were made of actual waffles, and succulently stuffed with yeah~  um..fried chicken..all in a bite sized, adorably delicious, dripping in syrup doughnut hole, resulting in the cutest, and tastiest collision of savory and sweet ever.

And guess what?  …I was right!

These little bites are packed with all things ‘chicken and waffles’ and will be gone before you even have a chance to fully explain the insanity that brought them to life.  When you pop that melt in your mouth waffle doughnut into your mouth, and sink into that bite of succulent fried chicken, the savory/sweet combo will be more than you can handle..

At that point, you realize that sanity is overrated, and it doesn’t even matter anymore..everyone is in hog heaven, and you are a chicken and waffle, doughnut hole, snack-king ROCKSTAR!  Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

popcorn chicken.. one per doughnut hole (I used KFC’s popcorn chicken)

2 cups of your fave Waffle dry mix

1/2 stick of butter..melted

2 tbsp. sugar

4 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup milk

1 egg

oil for frying..I used canola

Directions:

In a large bowl combine the waffle mix, butter, milk, egg, and baking powder…

Coat each piece of chicken with the batter…

Be generous, and coat the chicken evenly…

Then…into the hot (350 degree)  oil a few at a time, until evenly golden…

Grab some extra syrup and go for it…

…start popping these yummy creations.  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Sooo, have you ever wondered what it would be like to combine 2 of your favorite breakfast items into one incredible, over the top, delicious breakfast of mash-up champions?  If you said yes, well..today is your lucky day!

Today I bring to you a blueberry muffin, filled with sweet blueberry filling, all wafle-ized, creating the most caramelized and crispy blueberry muffin you’ve ever had!  GOOD morning!

These unique, scrumptious and succulent waffles are made possible by the outstanding quality and commitment to excellence that Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling and Topping provides each and every time.

What Lucky Leaf is Made Of:
“What do you call a grower-owned company who made its name by making high-quality easy-to-use dessert products? Lucky Leaf, that’s what. Since 1949 we’ve stayed true to our mission of providing bakers with simple, delicious products to make their lives a little easier.
At first, we focused on Lucky Leaf Apple Sauce. As times changed, and the world started moving at a faster pace, people stopped having time to make pies from scratch. That’s when we decided to step in and help. To take care of the apple-peeling hand aches, we started producing ready-to-use apple fruit filling. In no time, it hit the shelves and good ol’ apple pies were back in the oven.
America’s appetite for Lucky Leaf grew, so we expanded our line of flavors. Today you’ll find Premium Cherry, Apple, Blueberry, Peach, Lemon, Red-Raspberry and many more in your grocery store.
60 years later, we still say “make it easy, make it delicious, make it with Lucky Leaf,” and we’ll continue to improve and expand upon our customers’ needs for years to come.
The Lucky Leaf Label History
Although rare, you may have spotted the original four-leaf clover Lucky Leaf label at one point in your life – perhaps in your grandma’s kitchen when you were a kid. Since the original 1949 design, the label has gone through three additional changes to keep the brand as fresh as its fruit fillings.”

These waffles don’t just have “some” blueberries in them, nope.. no little scoops of filling here!  I’m talking about HUGE scoops of filling, making these waffles jump off the plate and into your mouth in the tastiest way ever.  Make LOTS!

What you’ll need:

1-21 oz. can of Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling/Topping

1 cup Blueberry Muffin Mix

1 cup Waffle Mix approx.

1 cup milk… enough for proper consistency

A waffle iron

non stick spray

butter for topping

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine the muffin mix, waffle mix, and milk..stirring until it’s thick yet smooth (think cake batter)

Now stir in 3/4 of the can of Lucky Leaf Blueberry /FillingTopping..reserving the remainder for topping the waffles…

Mix well to combine~

Spray the waffle iron each time that you add a scoop of batter, and add the waffle batter into the waffle iron to create your waffles…

Don’t forget the BUTTER…

…and some more blueberry topping because you can!

~Serve them warm and enjoy!  🙂

Do you have any Thanksgiving leftovers still hanging around?

Do you suffer from “Idon’tknowhowtojudgetherightamountoffoodforacrowd-itis” ?

Do you typically have about 10-12 guests over for dinner, yet insist on cooking for 50?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you’ll want to stick around… this recipe could be for you!  Especially if you’re sick and tired of the typical re-do/re-use abuse of day old food fare.

We need something original and delicious to breath new life into that old grub, and I think I might have just the thing?!

I took yesterday’s stuffing and turned it into today’s gourmet breakfast!

That’s right, I waffleized that stuffing and topped it with a perfectly poached egg..BOOM~  breakfast is served!  A little Hollandaise drizzled on the top would be nice…dontcha think? 🙂

~Good morning to you, and goodbye to those leftovers! 🙂

What you’ll need:

The Waffles:

2 cups of stuffing

1 egg

The Topping:

poached/fried eggs for the top..one per each stack of stuffing waffles

black pepper to taste..or any other toppings you’d like!

Directions:

Mix the stuffing with one beaten egg until well combined.

Place the stuffing into your waffle iron and cook until firm and golden…

Now stack up those waffles, and place a poached or fried egg right on top!  *If you’re making a big batch and/or not serving them right away~  put the waffles on a sheet pan in a low oven (200-250 degrees) to stay warm and toasty until you’re ready to serve.

Serve warm!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Well..I think I found a way to improve mashed potatoes and gravy!

OH~I know how crazy that sounds, but hear me out~~  When you turn mashed potatoes into waffles, you have TONS of toasty little potato square ‘flavor chambers’ to capture all of the runaway gravy that should’ve otherwise stayed put.

~Yep~  we now have gravy traps built right into those mashed potatoes…you. are. welcome! 🙂

Seriously, these mashed potatoes are the best thing to happen to my waffle iron ..and to my mouth in a long..LONG time!

And what a great way to make use of those leftover mashed potatoes that we ALWAYS have!

Make a huge batch…you can even whip some up for breakfast, hold the gravy (or not).. and top it with an egg..OH YEAHhh!  ..We do what we want..lol!  🙂

What you’ll need:

About 2 cups of mashed potatoes..leftovers, or you can whip up your own.

1 cup flour

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk or milk

1 tbsp. butter….melted

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

dash of garlic power..optional

brown gravy..I used a pre-made powder

chives for garnish..optional

**NO CHEESE as pictured…unless you’d like to add some into the mashed potatoes. 

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, baking powder, baking soda, buttermilk, butter, garlic powder, and eggs…

Add approx. 3/4 scoop of the potatoes into each section of the waffle maker and cook until golden…

Let them cool…

Now..gravy them UP, with some optional garnish of course!

And dig in!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

1 tbsp. butter..melted

A waffle iron

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the flour, eggs, buttermilk, butter, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and pepper to taste…

Mix it all up until it’s well incorporated.  Place about 3/4 cup of the potatoes into each section of your sprayed waffle iron, and cook them until they’re golden and pop right out…

Place them onto a sheet pan and top them with the cheese and crispy crumbled bacon, bake them at 350 degrees for approx. 12 minutes r so..just to melt the cheese…

Now, top them with your fave toppings…

I’ve been on this HUGE dessert/breakfast morphing kick thingy lately and I have to say, it’s TONS of delicious fun!  The possibilities are truly endless when the most important meal of the day is combined with the most fun ‘meal’ of the day..lol!

Now, deciding exactly what time of day to enjoy these treats is completely up to you.

They’re wholesome enough to start your day, and naughty enough to end it..the choice is yours!  Maybe it isn’t even a choice and you can indulge more than once, like, maybe all day long?! ..hmmm…sounds good to me.  🙂

These waffles are so incredible you’ll wonder why you’ve never given them a try before.

The cheesecake is a match made in heaven for that toasty, tender waffle and you can literally see all the pockets of creamy cheesecake suspended inside the fluffy, tender waffle ..it’s like crazy-culinary magic.

When you drizzle that succulent stack with some warm caramel sauce and a dusting of nutty graham cracker crumbs..um, I don’t think you’ll ever quite enjoy them separately again!

Make a giant stack and serve them up for Dessertfast err..Breakssert~ OH.. just make them! 🙂

What you’ll need:

Waffle mix

Cheesecake filling..I used the pre-made store bought

Caramel sauce for drizzling

Graham cracker crumbs for dusting

Directions:

Mix up the waffle batter according to your box instructions, stir in one cup (or so) of the cheesecake filling…

Leave some lumps in the batter, those will become the delicious pockets of cheesecake throughout the waffles…

Now scoop out about 1/4 cup into each waffle side…

Let them cool…  they smell Ahhh~mazing!

Now the fun part~  drizzle that succulent stack with some caramel sauce…

and graham cracker crumbs…

Serve them to those you love LOTS!

Like..um..YOU!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

It’s not often that I’m speechless, totally lost for words, especially when it comes to food..I mean, you have seen what I do around here right? 😉

But this time, ohhh..this time, I think Iv’e really done it.  I mean, I’m not even sure how to label these..are they dessert?  ..Are they breakfast?  ..Are they just something that you can enjoy at any time and not mention to another living soul?  Hmm..it’s a tough one..lol!

Well, whatever..all I really need to know is that these babies are a one-of-a-kind, wacky & wonderful waffle of epic (only 2 ingredient) proportions.

Nothing compares, or even comes close to what the simple combination of sticky doughnuts and chewy Snickers become when waffle-ized.  They’re undeniably-indescribably delicious, as the toasty and gooey waffle literally becomes one with the sweet, nutty Snickers!

~Top a warm stack of these with some cold ice cream and the neighbors will be jealous of all the moaning they hear coming from your house..haha!

What you’ll need:

A waffle iron

non-stick spray

Glazed Doughnuts

Mini Snickers

LOTS of self control!

Directions:

Slice the doughnuts equally in half, and place a few mini snickers onto the bottom half…

Put the other half on…

…and place it into the waffle iron, slowly closing it all the way.  Take note at how the smell of a hot, glazed doughnut snickers waffle should totally be a candle!

Now..serve them all warm, and ooey-gooey..maybe with some ice cream!

For breakfast, lunch..dinner..or dessert!  Even a midnight snack..Sshh! ~Enjoy!  🙂
