Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Waffles, Candied Bacon & Strawberry-Mandarin Glazed Compote'

Breakfast in the mornings is absolutely non-negotiable. This also means that cereal is not considered an optimum breakfast. Raising children in my 20's, 30's, 40's and now 50's I've come up with a lot of fast "get the kids out the door" school breakfast menus. I made these for my twin daughters (who are now 17) when they were around 7. To this very day when they come home from school during breaks and holidays, I make sure I have plenty of the ingredients on hand.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Waffles


Eggo Home style Waffles
Jiffy Creamy Peanut Butter
Toll House Mini Chocolate Chips
Reddi Whipped Light Cream

Toast waffles according to directions. Spread with as much peanut butter as you like. Scatter chocolate chips all over and top off with whipped cream. I promise you that your kids will love it and it is nutritious.

Candied Bacon
thick slices of your favorite bacon Heat Oven to 375F
dark brown sugar
Pam Cooking Spray



Place about 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar in pie plate. Dip the bacon and coat well on each side. Place onto a Pam Cooking sprayed baking sheet. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, then drain. This tastes good either warm or at room temperature. I take a whole pound of thick sliced bacon the night before and make this protein/treat. Refrigerate and just nuke up in the morning about 30 seconds.

Strawberries and Mandarin Oranges

Fresh sliced strawberries
1 can of drained mandarin oranges (place can in refrigerator overnight)
1/3 cup of strawberry jam

Microwave strawberry jam at 30 seconds, then 10 second intervals until liquefied. Cool to room temperature. Combine strawberries and Mandarin oranges. Toss with liquefied strawberry jam.
Serves 6
