Saturday morning,
I decided to make brunch for my sister and a close friend of hers being that
her birthday passed. I really wanted to make chicken and waffles. Basically, I
made it all about me being that I am 8 months pregnant. If I cook, I have to be
able to enjoy it as well.
I do enjoy a
twist on a waffle from time to time. Every
brunch spot serves Chicken and waffles and it’s usually your basic waffle.

I chose to test
out a recipe that’s been brewing in my head for sometime: Honey Cornmeal
waffles with Jalapenos. The corn meal would provide crunch, Jalapenos would
pack the heat and the honey would give it that touch of sweetness.

Fancy fried

on my blog.

I sauté my Jalapenos in a little butter to release the oils and add it to my
mix from time to time. It’s awesome!
