So, sweet but savory and full of yummy deliciousness. Sweet potato waffles… mmmm. The new year needed a new breakfast sandwich. Non negotiable.
The new year is a time for a fresh start, big dreams and a new story to be written. One of my new 2018 goals is to create weekly opportunities for meaningful time as a family. We’re now at the end of January when most people fall off the band wagon with goals, but I’m just getting started! This family time goal might sound a bit wafty to some but as a family of two working parents, weekends full of chores, grocery shopping, birthday parties and more work with a second job, I have found that we have just been dragging ourselves sleep deprived and overworked from one year to the next, and [blink] — rinse and repeat.
We can’t wish for more time, time is

AND WAFFLES that we will all look back on fondly — kids included! Continue reading
Friday mornings are our special breakfast treat day as a family. We all sleep in a bit (hopefully kids included!) then climb into our big bed and have family cuddles, before venturing to the kitchen to bake/cook/create some sort of brunch extravaganza treat. Mr. Kurth is often instrumental in the execution of weekend breakfast and the kids are all hands on deck to help the food arrive faster. I’m normally in the background making a big pot of tea while offering unhelpful suggestions on how to change a recipe to my liking or offering superfoods ideas to add to make something more nutritious! Oh and I set the table.
