Coconut Flour Waffles with Peaches & Pecans

View fullsize

Currently: sitting in the corner of our sectional (best seat in the place), watching Friends, S03 E03. Joey is sitting at Monica’s table, eating currant jam. 

I have been watching the show Friends from the beginning — and while many people would follow that by saying, “for the seventh time,” for me, this is a first. And I’m addicted. Typically when we put on anything after 8pm, be it a show or a movie, I’m guaranteed to be asleep in 15 minutes. While I really enjoyed the first season of West World, for example, the second season put me to sleep every Sunday. But Friends is different. I’m not sure if it’s because the show uses minimal brain power to watch, or because each episode is only 20 minutes long on Netflix, but I can watch until at least 10pm before feeling like I need to go to bed. 

There was a week earlier this summer when both Oliver and our room mate were out of town, and I was left to my own devices when it came to figuring out how to turn the TV on (I’m going to sound old saying this but, Do we really need four remotes?) and choosing what to watch (my preferred decision-making technique is to plop down on the couch and watch what ever is already on). But there I was, with the entire sectional to myself, flipping through Netflix. The rest is history — or it will be, when I finish the series… for now, binge watching friends is a bit like my version of Saturday morning cartoons (remember those?), and that means a plateful of waffles is in order!

Grain-Free Banana Nut Waffles

I'm sharing another recipe from Foraged Breakfast today! Wonder what the heck I'm talking about? Go read about my first eCookbook, and then come back for this grain-free banana nut waffle recipe. 

When you descend the ski hill at Crested Butte in Colorado, the smell of vanilla, butter and maple syrup wafts in your face. It gets stronger the closer you get to the bottom. As the hill tappers off and your skis slow, you find yourself standing in front of a small shack serving Belgian Waffles. They are steaming even as they get plated, causing swirls of butter and maple syrup to take over your mind. Talk about a solid business plan! Serving hot waffles to hungry traveling skiers who just want something warm--now that's a jackpot. 

One whiff of those ski hut waffles has the ability to set me off on a waffle-craving craze for weeks. These banana nut waffles have a similar effect, filling the house with the sweet smell of maple syrup, butter, and vanilla. Toasted pecans only add to this experience. The difference is, they are made with 100% wholesome ingredients (because you know that's how I like it!).
