Weekends are made for relaxation

I used to really look forward to sleeping in on weekends, back before I had a child... As a mother, I find that weekends are often times more crazy than weekdays. I look forward to spending time as a family, either by running errands or relaxing by taking a walk. But factoring in meals and naps can make the day seem so short. In an effort to make the weekends special, I have started some traditions. Either Saturday or Sunday morning, we sit down as a family and have homemade pancakes or waffles. I have mastered (read: my husband asks for them) super fluffy (Clean) waffles and I am willing to share my waffle recipe with you here!


For those of you that know me, I tend to modify every recipe that I find. It is against my every fiber to follow a recipe, do not ask why:) So here is the link to the original recipe.
And here is my version:
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour ( I use 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
  1. Beat eggs until fluffy with electric mixer
  2. Add all other ingredients and mix until combined
  3. Cook per your waffle maker instructions
I tend to make a double recipe of these as they freeze well. 

What does your family do to make the weekends special?
