Homemade Waffles

/

My husband made these waffles for me one year for my birthday and  I request them every chance I can reasonably do so! 

The Pioneer Woman nailed a perfect waffle recipe. The outer layer is crisp and with a slight crunch and encases soft pillowy insides. The flavor is delicate yet far from bland. They are so good.

Fresh berries, some good quality maple syrup and bacon are excellent companions. 

I encourage you to make these any time you want to treat someone.

Oh! And they also store well in the freezer. To freeze, place them in a ziplock bag with a piece or parchment paper between them. Then they are ready to go right into the toaster to warm through and toast up the exterior.

Enjoy! The Pioneer Woman's  Waffle Recipe

Adopt a plant on the Highline (NYC)

The High Line draws millions of visitors each year and though I have walked it hundreds of times, it still amazes me every time, especially in the early morning when it is quiet.

If you are looking for a special gift with a special meaning for anyone who loves the High Line, whether they fell in love on a trip or as a local, let me suggest adopting a plant on the High Line! Contributions "go directly toward ensuring that the High Line's plantings continue to thrive in all seasons."

Options range from $25 to $150 for different plant types. Each adoption comes with Certificate of Adoption, a postcard set of the plant and either a grass pen or a pack of High Line seed bombs depending on the adoption level. On the site you can even read about where on the High Line you can find the plants.
