Waffles

Ingredients
 2 eggs
 2 cups all-purpose flour
 1 3/4 cups milk
 1/2 cup vegetable oil
 1 tablespoon white sugar
 4 teaspoons baking powder
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions

Preheat waffle iron. Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy. Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.
Then cook:) 

We made a pear syrup that turned out really good. It was pretty simple too. We used two cans of sliced pears. Pour all the pears and juice into a pot. Let it boil, I put it probably about 2/4 cup butter and a big spoonful of sugar. Then add Cinnamon to taste. I used a potato masher to just mash the pears a little bit. But I still like to have chunks of pear.

Coleslaw Dressing




I bought a coleslaw salad mix from the store (cabbage, carrots, etc.) and then made this dressing for it! Awesome. It would have tasted even better had I had celery seed, but was still great without it. For a store bought bag (where you find salad bags in the produce section), I only made 1/3 this recipe. It was more than enough. I used this slaw to top our pulled pork sandwiches. If you haven't had coleslaw on pulled pork you are seriously missing out! 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vinegar
1 jar of mayo
2 tbsps yellow mustard
2 tbsps celery seed
2 tbsps salt

Directions:

  1. Whisk sugar with cider vinegar in a large bowl until sugar has dissolved. 
  2. Mix in mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed, and salt until thoroughly combined.
