The Kamikaze Cook- Tip (Eggs)

If you're worried about cholesterol, when purchasing eggs, buy "medium" instead of "large" and you'll automatically save on some LDL (that's BAD cholesterol) when making recipes. Yes, Yes, Yes, you can always buy the liquid stuff too if you want, but I prefer real eggs.

The Kamikaze Cook #36 Breakfast Popovers

As you read below, the popover recipe I posted is more of a lunch or dinner popover. Well, I was craving something sweet for breakfast and decided to make a breakfast popover!

Same 3 ingredients as the basic popover recipe below.
Then I added a combination of cinnamon and sugar (premixed to make sure the ratio was correct). Not bad. Next time, I think I'll make some sugared walnuts or pecans and add those to the bottom of the batter.

Sugared Nuts:
Melt butter in saucepan, add brown sugar, melt. Then add nuts and stir until covered, place on wax paper or foil to cool. Break apart.

The Kamikaze Cook #35 Chocolate Chip Waffles


I'm guessing this isn't an original idea but man is it YUMMY!

Make waffle batter as you normally would. In a food processor, pulse good quality chocolate chips (we all know to which brand I refer, so I won't bother saying it) into small nuggets. (You must do this otherwise the chips will all sink to the bottom and will likely burn in the waffle maker.)

Add chips last, stir to combine and use waffle maker as normal. All I placed onto these was a nice chunk of REAL butter and they were divine!
