Deep Fried Waffles with Strawberries and Cream

Deep fried is one of my favorite flavors…. Lol – it’s true. And yes, that’s why I’m working so hard to live healthier and eat better, so that I can lose the weight I need before we open the pool for the summer. But, even though I’m working on losing weight – I still believe that we all need to splurge from time to time. I’m a dessert lover, but I don’t waste calories on sweets that aren’t even all that good – I’ll save up and splurge on something truly amazing. And lemme tell ya ladies – These deep fried waffles topped in fresh strawberries, ice cream, chocolate, and whipped cream will rock your darn socks off. No lie. Check it:

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! – Ok, this recipe doesn’t even use actual ice cream, lol. But it’s super fun, which makes sense, since it involves you Eggo waffles.

Angry Birds Waffles – #EggoWaffleOff

Angry Birds is such a hit with kids these days, that I hate to even admit this, but…. I have NEVER played the game. At all. Ever. We own a bunch of Angry Birds “stuff” – board games, stuffed plush, video games, and tee shirts. But I’ve never even played this game that everyone seems to find so amazing. But, even though I’m clearly current trend challenged, I do know that the kids love Angry Birds, and thought that making a fun themed breakfast one morning before school would be a ton of fun. Check it out..

How to Make a Simple Shrimp Scampi – #3SI

I’m a busy mom, with a lot of chaos in my household. I’m the manager of so many things in my home – I manage my business, I manage the finances, and I {usually} manage to keep the house organized and clean. With all of the things going on each day, I totally rely on some great routines we have in place, to keep things as simple and streamlined as possible. And one of those routines ismeal planning – I like to plan meals out a week in advance, shop just once that week for everything we’ll need, and make sure that the recipes that I choose are quick and easy enough to be done even when I’m rushing to meet deadlines.
