Chocolate Waffles

By -

Chocolate Waffles are a fun dessert for a special occasion!  They can be baked a little bit ahead so it is easy to serve in an Assemble-Your-Own fashion.


When Dave's Grandma passed away, I inherited her Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook dated 1953.  The binding is worn, pages have slipped out, paper clips mark pages with favorite recipes, and there are slips of paper tucked in it here and there with hand written notes and recipes that Grandma wanted to save.  What a wonderful item to have handed down!


In this cookbook is a recipe for Dessert Waffles.  We make the chocolate version and add a scoop of ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.  MMMmmmm!!!


Chocolate Waffles

1 1/4 C. sifted flour (it calls for cake flour in the book, but I just use regular and have great results)
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
6 T. cocoa
1/2 C. sugar
2 well-beaten whole eggs
3/4 C. light cream
1/4 C. butter, melted
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2 stiff-beaten egg whites

Sift dry ingredients.  Blend whole eggs and cream; stir in.  Add butter.  Fold in egg whites.  Bake on regular waffle iron.   Break into sections, top each section with a scoop of ice cream, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream.

Joy's Notes:   If you don't have cream, canned milk is an acceptable substitute.  I make my own chocolate sauce.  I got the recipe from my sister-in-law Susy... it is so easy and absolutely wonderful!  I'll post that recipe separately.

Enjoy!

Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes

The other day I needed a dinner that I could make ahead and leave in the oven.  I combined a couple of recipes to come up with this.  It was a hit with our entire family. I like to buy full boneless pork loins at Sam's Club and then cut them into chops or leave the size we need for a roast.  The price is usually cheapest that way and I'm all about cutting our food budget.  I keep everything in this recipe on hand (aside from the French's Fried Onions) so it is something I could throw together  spur of the moment. Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes 6-8 pork loin chops (boneless or bone-in) 6 LARGE  russet potatoes , peeled and sliced 2 10 oz. cans condensed cream of mushroom soup 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 3/4 C. water 3 T. onion soup base (1 package of Lipton onion soup is a little over 2 T. so just use that if you'd rather not have a package open.  I buy mine in bulk so it's easier for measuring) 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt French's fried onions

My family doesn't generally love brown rice.  They really enjoyed it in this dish though.  I started out to do a skillet dinner, but I took a little time to put it all in a pan and melt the cheese in the oven.  Next time I'm going to try just mixing it in and letting it melt in the skillet rather than sprinkling it on top. This was a tasty dinner and full of healthy ingredients.   My family requested it again! Brown Rice and Broccoli with Chicken 1 1/2 C. brown rice 3 1/4 C.chicken broth or water with 3 tsp. chicken boullion  Place in medium pan, bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes.  Remove from heat. While the rice is cooking, saute the following in 1 T. of olive oil: 2 chicken breast, diced 1 C. onion, diced 1 C. mushrooms, sliced 2 C. broccoli florets (fresh or frozen is fine) When the rice is done, place it on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan .  Spread chicken and vegetables over rice.  Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of water or chicken broth ove

Molasses Oatmeal Bread is a hearty (and heart healthy!) bread that is easy and delicious!  We love it toasted and spread with homemade jam.  So good!  Molasses adds a rich flavor and beautiful color. Molasses Oatmeal Bread 2 T. instant dry yeast (my favorite brand is SAF) 1/2 C. warm water Dissolve yeast in water and set aside In large bowl (or mixer bowl if you have one that will do bread), put: 2 C. quick rolled oats 2 T. oil 2 C. boiling water Stir and let sit about 10 minutes or until lukewarm.   Stir dissolved yeast, 1/2 C. molasses, and 4 tsp. salt into the oatmeal mixture.   Add about 3 cups of flour and mix well.  Stir in 2-3 cups more flour until you have a firm dough that you can knead.  Knead 5 minutes by hand or with mixer.  Place in a greased bowl, being sure to grease the top as well.   Cover and let rise until double.  About 45 minutes to an hour depending on how warm your room is. Punch down dough.  Divide into 2 pieces.  Grease 2 loaf pan
