Chocolate Waffles

Here at the Whitaker house we love to have breakfast for dinner every once in a while, and that normally means waffles or pancakes if Christian has a say in the matter. Waffles and pancakes are great, and there are so many different ways to prepare them. Plain, blueberry, chocolate chip, topped with fruit or peanut butter or cream cheese frosting. Yum!

Recently we added a new option to our list, chocolate waffles! You should try them out, you’ll be hooked.

What You’ll Need…

1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour

3 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Salt

¼ Cup Sugar

¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder

3 Tablespoons Butter (Melted)

1 ¼ Cup Milk

1 Egg

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Add the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cocoa powder to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

Add in the melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Add your desired amount of batter to a pre-heated waffle iron and cook until done.

Serve the waffles on their own or with your favorite toppings!

Creamy Crockpot Chicken "Casserole"

This meal is easy and delicious.

What You’ll Need…

4 Chicken Thighs

1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup

3 Large Carrots (Peeled and Chopped)

1 Cup Chicken Broth

1 Cup Frozen Peas

4oz Cream Cheese

Seasoned Salt

Pepper

Add the chicken, even from frozen, to your crockpot.

Add the remaining ingredients over the chicken. For the cream cheese, break it up into chunks and sprinkle it throughout the crockpot.

Turn the crockpot to low and allow it to cook for 8 hours.

Serve alone, with pasta, rice or garlic bread! Enjoy!

Cheesy Potato Soup

It has been quite some time since we post a recipe, and for that I apologize! Today we have something that is warm and comforting!

What You’ll Need…

3 – 3.5lbs potatoes

1 (32oz) Box Chicken Broth

2 Cups Water

1.5 Cups Sour Cream

1 Cup Shredded Cheese (Your Choice)

Pepper

Seasoned Salt

Paprika

Start out by washing and peeling your potatoes.

Cut the potatoes into 1-2 inch cubes and add to your crockpot along with the broth and water. Allow the potatoes to cook on low for three hours.

Carefully remove the potatoes from the crockpot and blend until smooth. This should be done in batches. Be careful, blending hot items can be dangerous.

Add the potato mixture back into the crockpot, add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined.

Allow the soup to cook on low for another four hours.

Serve alone or topped with more cheese, sour cream and bacon.

Enjoy!
