So I'm sitting at home in my kitchen and I realize it's already three in the afternoon and I haven't eaten anything. I check the fridge: nothing. The pantry: even less. All that's left in the is a wheel of Brie, strawberries that are turning and some mascarpone cheese. In my current condition I'm willing to eat just anout anything. And then...it happened. I opened the freezer and found some frozen Belgian waffles. Seriously. So I'm thinking "okay, okay I can work with this." I take the waffles and toaster oven them until they are as close to light and fluffy frozen waffles can get. Then I remember how much I love mascarpone and I smear a heavy dose the light cheese on the waffles. Next I cut a few thin slices of brie and finally I added some chopped strawberries. Whipped cream was the perfect finish to the meal. And WOW let me tell you those were some of the best waffles I have ever eaten. I've made them three times this week and I don't plan to stop anytime soon. Bon appetite!! Leave a comment down below :)

Nothing beats a classic and this simple timeless desert is still going strong on its own. (via Recipe 4 Living) In my house there is an extreme obsession with breakfast foods. I guarantee almost 80% of our culinary efforts go into the firs meal of the day. About four years ago I became extremely obsessed with the UK specifically Britain. It was as if I wanted to magically transform into an English person over night. I began looking up british study abroad programs, colleges, stores, books and reciepeis. I went as far as befriending all of the English students in my school and develeing a fake English accent that I was sure sounded like the real thing Pathetic right? Anyway, back to the recipie. along my internet and library studies on anything british I found a quick and easy recipie for a dense and fluffy pastry with a fruity filling sweet for desert and savory enough for breakfast: the English Popover! The first time I made this little babies my family was a tad bit apprehensive; the popovers take on quite a peculiar shape when they are first removed from the oven. But after the first bite all hesitation was gone! My mother asks me to make these at least once a month. She will even go to the supermarket herself in order to get the ingredients for me to bake! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do! xx INGREDIENTS:
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 2. Cut BUTTER into 6 equal pieces and place each piece into 6 LARGE muffin tins (you can split this into 12 and divide batter evenly for 12 mini popovers!) 3. Put muffin tins in preheated oven until the butter melts, about 4 minutes. be carful not to burn!! 4. Beat your MILK, EGGS, 1/4 cup SUGAR, and VANILLA together in a large bowl. 5.
