Chocolate Waffles

Made two waffles without chips and two with. With chocolate chips results in a much better flavor - obviously a more chocolaty flavor, which is clearly what you're going for if you are making chocolate waffles.
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 c rice milk + 1/2 c milk
  • 2 t powder
  • 1 1/4 c flour
  • 1/4 c cocoa
  • 3 T butter, melted
  • 2 T dark brown sugar
  • recommended: mini chocolate chips
  1. Combine the egg yolks, liquid, powder, flour, cocoa and butter in a medium bowl. Stir until almost smooth.
  2. Beat the egg whites in a small bowl until stiff. Dump in sugar. Beat again until combined and stiff.
  3. Fold into batter. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Waffle iron for 5 minutes each.

Green Lentil Carrot Soup

I put too much chicken stock so this came out too salty. The bagel chips were a big help in toning down the flavor. Enjoyable, easy to throw together, but nothing fancy.
  • 6 organic carrots, diced
  • 1 can green lentils
  • 5 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • oil or butter
  • crushed red pepper
  • soup stock
  • pepper
  • 1 t cumin
  • thyme, big pinch
  1. Saute the onions for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic. Saute for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
  3. Add the carrots. Saute for 5 minutes.
  4. Add soup stock, spices and lentils. Let simmer.
  5. Blend half the soup.
  6. Serve immediately with grated mozzarella and baked bagel chips.
Notes
Bagel Chips - slice bagel into thin pieces. Place on baking sheet and cook for 2 minutes on highest rack at 400F. Flip pieces and cook for 1 minute more.

Perfected Full Batch *****
This is now my Sunday night recipe - makes 4 waffles that can be refrigerated and then toasted each morning for breakfast. The nuts add a nice crunch. 6.5-7 min each
  • scant 2 c flour
  • 1 T powder
  • 1/2 t salt
  • scant 2 c soy milk + 1 T lime juice
  • 2 T butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • sliced almonds
1/1/12 Had to make a soy-free, dairy-free version so used 2 T canola oil in place of butter and 1 can of coconut milk (plus water to fill out to 2 cups) to replace the soy milk. Still delicious!
