This made 18 waffles which was more than enough for the three of us. I'm putting the left overs in a zip lock bag in the freezer to be used later and just popped in the toaster. These are good though and pretty simple to make.

We had this for breakfast and it was really good. We were fighting over the last piece. Just a warning this one recipe will serve about 2 adults. Your going to want to increase the ingredients if you need to serve more than that.

Spicy Roasted Potato's

Ingredients:
5 medium red potatoes, diced with peel
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Arrange the potatoes and onions in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish so that they are evenly distributed. Season with garlic powder, salt and chili powder. Drizzle with olive oil. Stir to coat potatoes and onions with oil and spices.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until potatoes are fork tender and slightly crispy. Stir every 10 minutes. When done, sprinkle with cheese. Wait about 5 minutes for the cheese to melt before serving.

Comments:
Try mixing ingredients in mixing bowl first to get a good even coating, then spreading into baking dish. Also you may not want a 1/4 cup of oil. Just drizzle until you get a good coating. Also if you like a good crunch to it once you top with cheese pop it back in the oven under the broiler for a minute or two. This is great in the evening for dinner. You can add some cubed chicken to make it a one dish meal. Or have it in the morning with a breakfast scramble.

90 Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup margarine, softened
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Directions:

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in margarine; stir until melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well. Add water, egg and the milk mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, softened margarine.
Roll out dough into a 12x9 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 equal size rolls and place cut side up in 12 lightly greased 9x13 pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until browned. Serve warm

Comments:
For smooth cutting use dental floss. Put thread under roll then cross at top and pull. It will cut through the dough keeping the round shape. Also, Mine made about 24 rolls on this recipe as I cut them a little thinner and then let rise for double the time so they would be light and fluffy. Serve as is or drizzle a cream cheese frosting on top. These are definitely a hit for us. We'll probably never buy canned ones again.

Comments:
This is great to have for breakfast on holidays because you have to make it the night before. Then in the morning all you have to do is bake it!

These really are very easy, come out light and fluffy, and you can add things like chocolate chips to them. We make them just about every weekend and will never make box pancakes again!

Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the milk, oil, egg and vanilla, and mix until well blended. Stir in the strawberries.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and coat with butter or cooking spray. Pour batter into desired size of pancakes. Flip with a spatula when bubbles appear in the center. Cook until golden brown on the other side.

Comments: There are really yummy! The fresh strawberries give it an awesome flavor. We didn't even use syrup. Just a bit of butter on top. For the strawberries I did cut them up the night before and let them sit in sugar over night to bring out the sweetness. I do suggest that if you have any texture issues to do a mashed strawberry rather than sliced/diced as the strawberries will get really soft. Also, definitely spray your griddle with Pam. I have a really nice griddle so I didn't think I would need it and my first batch still stuck, the Pam solved that problem.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Comments:
I used milk instead of yogurt, three medium size bananas, and used mini chocolate chips. These came out very moist and taste amazing. Just enough banana flavor so you know it's there but not over powering and the chocolate chips give it a sweet boost.

Oatmeal-Cinnamon Muffins

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Spread melted butter over tops and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Comments:
Made these this morning. Again super easy muffins! I did add a tsp of Vanilla and also couldn't find my can of regular oatmeal. Just used some from the instant oatmeal box and it worked fine. For the topping I didn't spread over the tops. I actually dipped the top of each muffin into the butter and then into the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Much easier and a lot less mess I think and a more even covering of the topping.

Egg, Sausage, Potato Breakfast

Ingredients:
2 Medium potatos
4 Eggs
1 smoked sausage roll, we use the hot and spicy one
chopped onion
vegetable oil

Directions:
Peel or clean the potatos and then chop into small cubes. Brown in pan with vegetable oil and onion. Slice the sausage and add to the potatos. Cook until the potatos are soft and the sausage is browned. Remove from pan into bowl or place lined with paper towel. In same pan make scrambled eggs. Once eggs are cooked add potato and sausage mixture back to pan and mix completely.

This works great for breakfast or dinner. We do use the hot and spicy sausage for a little added flavor but you could use the milder ones if needed.
