Cornmeal Waffles
Life has been a little crazy lately. 
 
Reuben’s grandpa passed recently and my grandma on my mom’s side passed this last week.
It all happened in such a whirl that it’s hard for me to stop and think. Feel.
We have spent many of our evenings away from home, consuming unhealthy food. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been awesome not having to worry about cooking supper some evenings. But it seems wrong to eat restaurant food so many evenings in one week.
It feels good to make things from scratch. Even if it’s something as simple as waffles for breakfast.
Waffles make me happy. The little pockets filled with butter and maple syrup get me excited. I know, I’m weird.
If you’re having a crazy-busy week, try making these cornmeal waffles for breakfast one morning. If nothing else, it’s a nice, relaxing start to an otherwise hectic day.

Really good! I didn't have the specialty ingredients so used regular flour, baking powder and salt. I did use two small fresh eggs and one was a double-yolk. So easy and good!

Yes, I had never tried cornmeal in waffles before -- it adds a nice texture. :)
