Easy, Like Sunday Morning

A long, long time ago, we used to have leisurely Sunday breakfasts. We would linger over the New York Times & Trentonian (best of both worlds!) before id go to church. Sometimes it would be bagels, lox & cream cheese, others something more fancy.
Fast forward nearly a decade. Sunday mornings can be chaotic at best, downright ornery at the worst. I am attempting to slow things down this summer, and breakfast is a good place to start.

Waffles and orange juice. So simple yet so filling on so many levels.

I adapted the waffle recipe from Two Peas in their Pod (http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/waffles/)

BASIC WAFFLES
Adapted from Alton Brown

1 c whole wheat flour
1 c all purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 T sugar
3 eggs
2 T butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
Cooking spray for the waffle iron

Preheat waffle iron as directed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl whisk together eggs and melted butter. Then, whisk in the buttermilk. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until . Let it rest 5 minutes.
Cook the waffles according to the directions for your waffle iron. Serve immediately

I served mine topped with blueberries. So yummy!

To drink, I made orange juice. In the blender. It was so easy.
I peeled 6 oranges, put them in the blender and hit the liquefy button, and let it run for several minutes. If you want it a little thinner, add more water. The oranges I picked were so sweet nothing else needed to be added!!
