Cinnamon Vanilla Waffles

Since I started Smye's Baridelicious Foods, I've received well over 100 requests for a good waffle recipe, along with more than my fair share of, shall we say, indignant, inquiries as to why I hadn't posted one yet. To put it bluntly, waffles have been hard. It's fairly easy to make a low carb, high protein waffle that tastes good, but the resulting texture is usually awful. It's also quite straightforward to make a low carb, high protein waffle with great texture, but they tend to lack flavor. It's also not too hard to make one with amazing flavor, great texture and a whole lot of junk ingredients - which sort of defeats the whole purpose of this blog, no?

But finally, after well over two dozen attempts, I bring you Cinnamon Vanilla Waffles that taste great, have incredible texture, and have nothing in the way of artificiality about them.

Delicious, fluffy perfection

Oh, and they're pretty easy to make too. One batch makes six waffles that freeze & toast up wonderfully - though good luck eating a whole one in a single sitting.

I love to cook. I have a stressful job, I run a small farm, and sometimes the opportunity to spend time in the kitchen preparing wholesome, delicious food for myself and my family is just the sort of soothing I need. Many of my recipes are pretty involved and take quite a bit of time - this is not one of those recipes.

Bari Omelet

You've all had an omelet before. Or, well, those of you who haven't either been living under a rock or else living with an unfortunate allergy (if that's you, I'm sorry, you've got it rough!) have had an omelet. The thing is, most omelets (especially those you get at a breakfast place) are loaded down with enormous amounts of fat, even more carbs, and surprisingly little protein. Not to mention all of the additives and artificial junk that gets in there.

The best part of waking up...

A classic staple of continental cuisine, the omelet is actually the perfect vehicle for high quality protein and excellent taste. I've left greens out of this one - it's about as rich as they come. For those of you want more greens in your brunch, don't worry, I've got a frittata coming that's chock full. Or just add spinach, kale, collards, chard or other hearty greens to you onions when cooking - my particular favorite is chard.

Let's start with the basics. I'm sure many of us wish we could still have some sort of bread, even if only as a vehicle for meat, eggs, or cheese on our sandwiches. Despite their apparent simplicity, this riff on Paleo Oopsie Rolls have a great flavor reminiscent of potato bread and is easily modifiable to suit most any palatte.
