Good Waffles

I grew up eating these waffles. Absolutely delicious! I was thrilled to receive a waffle iron as a gift this Christmas, so I attempted my first ever waffles. Yum...

Good Waffles (Recipe from the Mennonite Treasury)

Sift together:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 1/2 tsp baking powder

Beat the yolks of 8 eggs well (saving whites) and add:

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, sweet or sour may be used (if cream is not heavy use 1 cup)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Add the egg mixture to flour and beat well.

Sauce for Waffles:

• 1/2 cup waffle batter
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup milk

Beat this well. Bring to a boil, one quart of milk and gradually add the flour mixture. Bring to a boil and set aside. Now add the stiffly beaten eggs whites to the waffle batter and bake in waffle iron.

Yield: 10-12 waffles.

We enjoy waffles with strawberries. Ice cream, bananas, saskatoons or just about anything else also goes well with these.

Easy Bean Bake

I love baked beans! So tasty with chicken or anything from the bbq. And it's a very simple recipe.

Easy Bean Bake

Roasted Pork Loin

A tasty way to prepare a pork loin/roast. Tasty with bulls eye!

Roasted Pork Loin

• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper*
• 3 tbsp margarine
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 (4lb) boneless pork loin roast

In skillet, combine the first 12 ingredients and saute until tender. Untie roast and separate. Randomly cut about 20 deep slits, 1 inch wide, on the inside surface of roast. Fill slits with some of the vegetable mixture and retie roast. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Spread remaining vegetable mixture on outside of roast. Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 2-3 hours or until meat thermometer reads 160-170 degrees F. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

* I omitted the green pepper and found it to be quite tasty without.
