Blueberry Muffin Waffles

Breakfast and Brunch

Hey friends! I know I haven’t really posted anything this week. It is spring break over here, so we have mostly been chilling and taking it easy. Movies, laser tag, park runs, and easy meals.

The girls have been wanting me to make my blueberry pancakes all week. Yesterday at the store, the containers of blueberries did not look that great and were way too expensive, so I had to break it to them that if would not be happening this week. Then I remembered 2 gigantic blueberry muffins from Costco in the cabinet that needed to be eaten STAT!

So I crumbled them up in a large bowl with 1/2 cup a flour, 2 beaten eggs, a teaspoon of baking powder, and enough milk just to bring them all together, about a 1/2 a cup (eyeballed). The batter seemed more like waffle batter to me, but I tried to cook them like pancakes. They didn’t quite hold together, so I made waffles instead. The girls LOVED them and gobbled them up!

Throwback Thursday- Crockpot BBQ Chicken

Crockpot /Make Ahead Meals, Leftovers/ Freezer Meals

Nothing better than coming home to dinner that is already done. The smell when you open the garage door is SO good! I made this recipe even easier…FROZEN Chicken Thighs (bone-in) and a bottle of our favorite BBQ sauce cooked on low for 10 hours. I shredded the chicken and discarded the bones. I put a hearty portion on a dinner roll/hamburger bun, scarfed it all down, and had plenty of time relax a bit before we had to run out the door for girls’ practices. Perfect! Plenty of leftovers to make something else yummy like this or maybe BBQ chicken nachos. or quesadillas..

I hope you give it a try! So glad tomorrow is Friday! Then Spring Break begins =)

The end result

Doctored up Boxed Pasta Salad

Chicken, Pasta, Salads, Side dishes...veggies

Even though it is still cold, I really wanted some pasta salad.  It just reminds me of the warmer days to come. I had a box of the easy pasta salad mix in the cabinet. I really like these as a base, but I always like to get creative with them and add in random things from my fridge and pantry.

This time, I added a rotisserie chicken breast, 1/3 a block of feta cheese crumbled , and a couple of spoons full of black olives and roasted red peppers. I added plenty of pepper, but no salt bc the chicken, black olives, and feta are already salty. You can make this vegetarian or even vegan. So many options! Plenty of leftovers for the week!
