Is it dinner time or breakfast time???

This summer, I have been especially blessed with an amazing internship! I have had the opportunity to do so many new things while perfecting some basic nursing skills. The best part about the internship is that now, more than ever, I know that nursing is exactly where I am suppose to be. The only challenge I'm having is that the second half of the internship is a 12-hour night shift rotation. And wow, it is a challenge! Unfortunately, unlike my friend Brian, I am not a night owl - at all. I'm such a morning person. I love, LOVE, mornings! I love the promise that each new day holds and lately, Omaha's morning weather has been absolutely perfect! I do have to say, I've seen some pretty amazing sunrises!

But.... back to the point of this post - When I left work this morning, I couldn't decide if I wanted dinner or breakfast. Since it was technically the end of my day I part of me wanted dinner but, since I had just seen the sunrise, the other part of me wanted breakfast. The only thing I knew for sure was that I was VERY hungry - lol! My love of mornings won out so, I made strawberry waffles. They turned out quiet tasty! :)


Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour, approximately
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 whole eggs, beaten
3 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
3/4 cups of strawberries
Vegetable oil, for waffle iron

Preheat waffle iron. In a medium bowl whisk together the flours, soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In another bowl beat together eggs and melted butter, and then add the buttermilk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until combined. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Ladle the recommended amount of waffle batter onto the iron according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Close iron top and cook until the waffle is golden on both sides and is easily removed from iron. Serve immediately.

I haven't had waffles in forever and I love them so much.
I bet that is hard adjusting to a new schedule like that.
I'm really proud of you and it sounds like things are going so well for you.
Your comment about my dad and Liberty made me cry. That was so sweet!
I don't think a lot of people, even in our church, realize the impact the school has on people.
My parents really have served the Lord their entire married lives and God has blessed.
It's so good to talk to you again.
Have a blessed day,
Valerie

Congrats on your internship...and nursing!! I work for a home health company and see a small portion of what you guys do.
These waffles sound amazing! I might just have to try them out.
Good luck with the new sleep schedule!

I am shopping for a waffle iron. What kind do you have? I have never owned one before.
