Growing up meal time was a "fend for yourself" time. Generally. We did have meals together. Sometimes. As a general rule if you were hungry, you found something to eat or went hungry. After getting were married, I remember my husband asking me what we were going to have for dinner. To me it seemed a funny question. I told him I was going to have cereal and asked him what he was planning to eat. It seemed a perfectly logical to me. (I should say here that my husband was one of six children and they ate nightly meals together). He asked in his very sweet way, “Don’t you think we should make something and eat together?” I was baffled. After all, it wasn’t a birthday, Christmas, Easter or Thanksgiving. It was a regular
day. It wasn’t even Sunday. “Seriously?” was my response. Probably not what the poor guy wanted to hear. The next night we had meatloaf. I was very proud of myself. It was a regular day, and I had cooked dinner. Again my sweet husband asked (so kindly as to not offend), “Do you think we should have
something with the meatloaf…like potatoes, rice or corn?” “SERIOUSLY???” I had just cooked a main course, which to me was a big deal. The idea that he thought there should perhaps be more on the table was totally foreign. We’ve come along way since then. I now usually cook a nightly meal, not to mention making breakfast & lunches. Cooking has become something I usually enjoy. We are busy with 3 children so meals have to either be very simple and fast, or planned ahead of time. And yes, we do still have cereal for dinner every now and again.

Waffles



3 eggs
1 ½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon soda
1 ¾ cup flour (sometimes I substitute ½ of whole wheat flour in for some of the white)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup oil
 Mix together and use waffle iron to make.

Since they don't sell lactose free buttermilk at my grocery store, I substitute by adding 1-1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice in my measuring cup than adding enough milk to make it 1 ½ cups.  I LOVE these waffles!  They are seriously so good...and unlike the store bought premade waffles, these fill you up for HOURS!  Our girls love these too.  We eat them a couple times a week (I usually make them once a week, but make enough to have leftovers for another morning).
