Pillowy Ricotta and Blueberry Waffles, almost cake-like with a citrus zing! Drizzle with syrup for an easy and tasty breakfast!
Hi July 1st. You got here rather quickly. Let’s slow down shall we? I’m not quite ready for labor day and all things pumpkin quite yet. Pump those breaks.
Are you loving every single aspect of Summer as much as I am? I expect that you totally are. Except for the crazy lady at Target the other day. She was going on and on about how she LOVES THE RAIN! Like, she actually said “I look forward to rain, and I just cant get enough of it.” Oomph. Like I said, crazy lady.
The days out here are SO much longer than on the east coast. That aspect has been blowing us away. It’s bright out by 4:30 every morning, and it stays that way until about 10:30 every night. Like legitimately bright. Kids are out playing so late because the sun is freaking still out! It’s insane. But a good insane, I love it.
Waffles! Blueberries. Oh my word, I just cannot stop eating fresh blueberries. Breakfast, lunch, and a late night snack all include them in one form or the other. Daily. Usually in their purest, perfection. I wicked love them. And these waffles? I wicked love them too!
They’re soft, but not soggy, not at all. They’re almost cake-like with fresh blueberries, a hint of orange (zest!), and drizzled with real maple syrup, (bonus points if you have blueberry maple syrup!)..brunch perfection! Add a side of bacon, hash-browns, maybe an egg or two..and don’t forget your Mimosa(s)!! 😉
