Don’t try this at home…

I woke up this morning with a huge craving for waffles, but I didn’t have any of the right ingredients for a normal waffle batter. I briefly considered going to the store to get what I would need, but the thought of getting dressed and going out before breakfast wasn’t very appealing, so instead I tied to create waffles from what I had. Bad idea. I ended up with a very yummy tasting mess in my waffle iron (I tasted one of the crumbs I managed to peel off.) I should have taken a picture, but I was too busy wondering why I thought I could make waffles from oatmeal pancakes! Here’s a hint: they stick like crazy and are too crumbly to get off the plates.

So, I set the plates in the sink to soak (luckily they are removable!) and got started on option number two: a frittata. By this time I was starving, so it’s a good thing I usually keep some chopped veggies in my fridge! Here’s the final product:

I didn’t have much patience left for presentation, so I just piled it up on my little plate. This was another case of my eyes being bigger than my stomach, about halfway through I felt full! Since I hate to waste, I popped the last two wedges back in the fridge for my snack later (I won’t post it again, you can assume I ate it!)

Rewinding a bit to last night, I was starving! I rooted around in my fridge looking for food that wasn’t already earmarked for a meal later this week and came up with an apple and some carrot sticks. There were more carrot sticks than the picture shows and I cut up the apple to sprinkle with cinnamon, but you get the idea

I didn’t want to make any dirty dishes in my clean kitchen, so I used a paper towel instead of a plate – not very environmentally friendly at all!
