Welcome to the day after Canada Day!! We survived and had a great time.  We went down to Charlottetown Summerfest at the waterfront, we had a family barbecue ( which I forgot to take my camera ) but the food was amazing and we stayed up for the fireworks.

I will give you a little recap on the fireworks and include a short video compliments of Jeff Docherty at Jeffdoc.com after I share with you my off the cuff front end loaded waffles that I made this morning.  Because I have the way off today, breakfast can be a little more elaborate.  Not to say this is over the moon but I must say it was pretty tasty and filling. 

For breakfast, are you all about taste or more about wondering if you can make it to lunch before dying of starvation? I think I am a little bit of both.

Ingredients

• 3 Waffles
• Raspberries
• Banana ( sliced )
• Ground Flax seed
• Maple Syrup
• Molasses
• Raspberry Yogurt
• Grapes

Method

1. Cook your waffles according to your liking.  I just used frozen waffles but feel free to make your own in your waffle maker with a simple pancake batter.
2. Top with remaining ingredients



3. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: I may hold off on the yogurt as it was a bit too heavy and it started to make them soggy.  I may opt for a dollop of whip cream or omit altogether.

Again, before we begin, I cannot take any credit for this next piece as Jeff Docherty at Jeffdoc.com uploaded the video and the quality is excellent.  Thanks Jeff.

I hope you have a great friday and a wonderful weekend.  We are contemplating a trip to the zoo, a zesty junior haircut, and possibly some lawn tractor shopping.  I know can you believe it… our grass has started!!

Take care

Happy Boxing Day!  I had an excellent day yesterday.  What a great Christmas.  It started off with a peek to see what Santa left, followed by a quick pancake breakfast.  After breakfast we opened more presents, cleaned up and went off to a family lunch.

Oh wow, what a meal!!  Turkey and all the trimmings, followed by more gift opening and then dessert -  steamed plum pudding with vanilla ice cream and that oh so delicious sauce.

That brought us to about 3:30 which meant it was time to travel to my Mom and Dad’s for another turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  I know back-to-back turkey dinners is tough but I managed.

But what i really wanted to share with you…..

Zesty’s New Cuisinart Food Processor

I am so excited!  When I opened the box – I let out a big gasp followed by a big  “YES”.  I cannot wait to whip up some dips and pesto among other things to share with you.  First up may be some fresh Pesto!

Have a great boxing day and have a great weekend.

Take care
