Today is officially "Waffle Iron Day." But, who can talk about waffle irons without talking about waffles? I mean, that little crispness on the outside and the fluffy goodness on the inside, all topped with your favorite toppings of fruit, syrup, butter, ice cream and myriads of other topping ideas. And, the nice thing about waffles is the way they hold the syrup on every bite!
For Christmas, Maddy received this adorable Mickey Mouse Waffle Iron! The perfect gift for a Disney lover! Since we are planning a family reunion in Disneyland, she is planning to bake everyone Mickey waffles to keep that Disney theme going!
 
Of course, she has tried it out on her nieces and nephews already and made them this delicious vegan waffle recipe! These really are so good! And vegan! Who knew?
When my husband and I were first married, we received a stove top Belgium Waffle Iron (similar to this one) than we used for years. Finally one year, Lindsey bought me an electric one (similar here) that I have used ever since. I don't even know what I have done with my stove top one, which is kind of sad because it did make really thick and fluffy Belgium Waffles! But, my electric one does a great job as well (and is quicker and easier).
Of course, I love lots of fun toppings! Here is what I made to show you on this post, blueberries and whipped cream! Yum! All on top of a great and super simple waffle recipe.
Lindsey loves pumpkin pie spice everything, so her fave choice was a no brainer! And, Alicia reminds us that you don't always have to go super sweet with waffles, she loves chicken and waffles! If you are in the mood for waffles now, or at least some pancakes, you may be interested in some of our past posts! Chunky Apple Pancakes with Creamy Red Hot Syrup!

How do you like your waffles? Maybe this weekend will be a great time to enjoy them.

Hey Alicia here with another ancestral recipe from Italy. And today's recipe is one that after I tasted it I couldn't stop thinking about. It was so good, I ate it from breakfast and lunch the next day (super healthy, I know). This lasagna was really that good. Thinking of it right now I'm tempted to go make it again.
Best Lasagna Ever
This lasagna is fairly simple and adapted from a recipe I found on Walks of Italy. It doesn't have a ton of cheese. It's swapped out with a delectable béchamel sauce, seasoned with a bit of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Don't skip the nutmeg because it just adds this wonderful depth to the lasagna that makes it addicting. The ragu is stewed for an hour or more and the flavors develop making it so wonderful. And the freshly grated parmesan sprinkled on top is the perfect ending for this dish. If you wish you can add parmesan in the other layers, I didn't and I found it to be perfect. But make sure you use fresh grated parmesan because the Kraft stuff just won't cut it.
I made this in a 9x13 dish but if you make it in a smaller dish you could do more than 3 layers. 
Please try this recipe! I honestly can't stop thinking about it. It's soooooooo good! Please try it.

Do you have big plans for the 4th of July this year? We have two events happening with family and friends. An early morning pancake breakfast and then in the evening a fireworks block party! Many people all across the country will be celebrating in similar ways! We thought it would be fun to come up with an invitation that can be used online as a jpeg, or to print off and add your own details to.
PicMonkey is a great place to design your own invitations and flyers for your own needs. They are who I used for this July 4th invitation. To add your own details on the computer, I would upload the jpeg to Google Drawing and use texts boxes to add your details. You can also size the invitations to your own needs. Then, just print! You can print them on white card stock, or do what I did and print them on regular paper and glue onto colored card stock. Just use your paper cutter (I have this one) to cut everything to the right size. 
You can see the fake info I added to give you the idea.
I am going to give you a couple of choices of ways to print the invitations, plus a pdf. You can always just add your info and then upload the flyer to your Facebook page about the event, or print it off and hand it our without any card stock at all. Or, another choice is to just print off the blank invitations and write in your information by hand.
Another event that we are going to try doing this year is Christmas in July. We love getting together with extended family and having a Christmas craft day, but it is always so busy for everyone in December that we haven't been very consistent about it. Since there is even a week in July labeled "Christmas in July", we've decided to take advantage of it. I've even composed little poem for these invitations!
Since there is a summer ad a Christmas theme, I used mixed motifs.
The files for these invitations are available on our subscribers only page. go ahead and subscribe today and get access to all of the fun and useful things that are free to print from that page.
Be sure to check back over the next couple of weeks as we share more ideas for the Christmas in July event!
Have you had a chance to listen to our first podcast? If not, go to our Cover to Reel page and give it a listen! We have just recorded our second one, so be on the listen for that!
Have fun planning your summer/July events! If you have any great ideas for Christmas in July, we would love to hear them as we are still adding to our plans! Thanks! I know that I didn't talk about food today, but this special Panna deal is to pass by and I wanted to let you know about it!
This year, Panna earned both a James Beard Award and an IACP award. To celebrate, they're offering a 7-day free trial (cancel anytime), then 50% off a year's membership! It is so much fun to cook with these famous chefs!
