Protein Waffles

Waffle Wednesday was a thing in our household for quite sometime. I didn’t make a whole ton of waffles until last year when I was working with a personal trainer who sent me this FANTASTIC recipe! It is SOOO yummy. And I can honestly say I like them more than regular waffles.
The origin of the recipe is hard to find, but I got it on heidipowell.net. I always double it for our big Belgian waffle maker, so these are the things I do:

1 cup Cottage Cheese
1 cup Water
4 Eggs
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
4 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 2/3 cup Oats (quick or traditional)

The best part about this: THROW IT ALL IN A BLENDER! It mixes quickly and is all ready to pour.

Also, my husband and children just love to dip their waffles. Less dishes to do! Healthy meal, and OH SO YUMMY!

Sweet Potato Hash

I am one of those people who cooks the same 5 things on repeat. This recipe is one of my family FAVORITES! And I made it at least once a week for half of 2019. Of course, no two times were exactly the same (I have problems with consistency) but every way I have made it has been a hit. Once again I will list some amounts, but you can change up the proportions until it looks good.

Sometimes we eat this with rice, however if you are trying to limit carbs, this can stand on its own too.

Shopping List:
-Chicken Breast (1 or 2 for our family of 4)
-Sweet potatoes 4ish
-Apple (gala) 1/2-1
-Onion 1/2-1
-Garlic Salt
-Olive Oil
-Poultry seasoning

Start by cutting the sweet potatoes apples and onions into bite sized sizes. Coat them in a little bit of olive oil and season with garlic salt and parsley. Mix it ALL (yes, the apples too) on a sheet pan and bake in a preheated oven at 415 degrees fahrenheit for 20-ish minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

While those are in the oven, cut the chicken into cubes and cook in a fry pan in some olive oil and season with poultry seasoning. When they are all done, mix the chicken with the sweet potatoes, onions and apples.

Voila! Delicious sweet potato hash.

Tips:
Like I said earlier, I have done it many times, different ways. To date, these are my favorites:
-Red onions are the BEST when you have apples
-I usually use about half a gala apple to 4 sweet potatoes HOWEVER apples are really optional
-Soy sauce is not a bad addition
