the life and times of J T Frey
What do you do when dinner time is imminent and you're meant to be serving spaghetti and meatballs but you have no pasta sauce in your pantry?
A simple buttermilk waffle recipe. Usually makes 5 regular waffles and 1 franken-waffle in my waffle iron.
This was originally a recipe I found on Skinnytaste for chicken and broccoli stir fry. Other attempts I've made at stir-fry haven't been great, but this one really worked beautifully. I substituted thinly-sliced flank steak to mimic the Chinese takeout staple. For a more vegetal take, just add thinly-cut carrots, peppers, or snow peas.
The second recipe in the "we picked lots of blueberries" series, this one is just a few minor changes to a recipe by Megan Gordon for Cooking Channel.
This recipe is a hybrid of several different blueberry muffin recipes I found online. Many of the recipes I looked at had more sugar; this recipe allows the blueberries to retain a little more of their raw flavor and tang (which I like). Buttermilk could probably be substituted for the yogurt. The final batter is very thick, so be careful to avoid overmixing.
The spring of 2023 I finally went to the effort of netting the two small blueberry bushes in our yard. By late June I harvested about 2 pounds of berries. I also had on-hand the last of the sour cherries we picked at a local orchard. I went searching for a recipe for sour cherries and blueberries and found one on yayforfood.com. This is an adaptation of that recipe.
