Chaffles

Ok yall, I could not take it any longer. I have been wanting one of these little Dash mini waffle makers for a couple years now. I just did not need another kitchen gadget. I have a regular waffle maker but always thought it would be nice to have a “limited portion”. I also thought it would be something I could use in my camper. 

After seeing recipes for “Chaffles”, I finally gave in to my wishes and bought a mini waffle maker. 

What is a Chaffle? 

It is a healthy Keto way to make waffles which means no bread. They are low in calories and high in protein. They are all made with a basic base of egg, cheese and almond flour. Some even leave out the almond flour and just use egg and cheese. I just prefer them a little more fluffy. You can find so many ways to make different flavor Chaffles. 

CHAFFLE

1 egg

1/2 cup cheese (I used mozzarella).

1 tablespoon almond flour.

(Makes 2 waffles)

After making my first Chaffle, I was hooked. I added butter and syrup and me and Nick did a taste test. I was afraid they would be eggy or taste cheesy but the didn’t. They were surprisingly good. 

But wait, they go beyond breakfast waffles. You can add in ingredients and make them sweet or savory. 

I made a sandwich chaffle to take to work with me and it kept great in the cooler and it was so good! This will be my new way to eat a sandwich for a while. It was filling and didn't leave me feeling bloated. I was satisfied until my next meal. 

You can top your chaffle with cheese and pepperoni then place in a toaster or oven and have your own healthy personal pizzas. 

You can also make chaffle tacos by using them as your taco shell. The possibilities are endless.

Of course I had a sweet tooth tonight so I gave the Chocolate Chaffle a try. I made it the same way as the original chaffle but added some Stevia and cocoa. I’m not sure if I really liked this one or not.

It’s crazy that I could not taste the egg or cheese but I thought it was a little bitter. I am not a fan of artificial sweeteners, so I probably wont make this one again, but my kitchen is smelling pretty good right now. 

Word is getting around, so these little Dash mini waffle makers are getting hard to find in stock at most stores but you can find them now on Amazon.

Beanie and Buttons

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I am just not settled in my lifestyle yet with the new job and mixed hours. I start full time next week so I will be on a regular 9-5 work week. BUT.....Belks has asked me to stay on and work some nights for a couple hours and a weekend here and there. I agreed. I call this job my fun job. I enjoy shopping for online orders and mingling with other coworkers and customers. The office job is still a learning in progress. I still have no clue what I’m doing, but I’m doing it. Taxes and accounting are just not in my interest. The office is quiet and not much chatting among coworkers. In case your wondering why I chose this position, I actually didn’t. It chose me instead. I did not apply to this job but a friends daughter reached out to me with the offer. I needed a job, I took it. I am still somewhat looking around for a job I feel suits me best. I really wish to work in a medical office of some sort and time off for a vacation. It’s killing me knowing that I only get 5 days off after June at the new job. 

Enough about work....

It has been cold here in North Carolina. We actually had a dusting of snow last week. We do not see much snow around here.

Saturday I decided to go have my nails done. Not wanting to do anything to my hair, I just threw on a beanie. But then I had to wear a mask while I was in the salon. I did not want to take my hat off due to my messy hair. It was a struggle to get the mask around my ears after I put on the beanie. 

This got me thinking of a plan. I sewed on a couple buttons to the beanie. This is how I wore my mask. 

The buttons were planned to be just temporary, but it worked so well I decided to keep them on the hat. This makes the mask easy to rip off after I leave a business without having to mess up my hat. Because, lawd knows my hair was a sight! I also didn't have on make up. Heck, I think I was still in my pajama pants, but my at least my nails are purty.
