100 Days of Pinterest: Day 41 - Pizza Waffles

This past week has been filled with cleaning and sleeping in. My sons' last day of school was last Friday, so we are taking advantage of being able to sleep in a bit. I don't know about you, but I love to sleep in whenever I get the chance. I'm lucky, because I'm a rep for a HUGE company and I make my own schedule. I pick the days I do visits and I schedule the time I start. It's really nice to have a job that is so flexible. Especially since I am a mom and also because I have MS and there are some days when I just don't feel well. I can reschedule my work for a later date and time.

I'm not sure how homeschooling my youngest son will be this fall, but I am excited for the change. I'm interested in seeing how other parents deal with homeschooling their kids and holding down a job. If you or someone you know does both, I'd be interested in hearing from them (womaninthemancave@yahoo.com). I was going to go with online schooling, but I've done some research and learned that they are following common core educational standards. My son has struggled with the common core learning style, so it doesn't make sense to subject him to that anymore. I'm nervous about the whole thing, but anything is better than watching him struggle. Right?

Okay, as always I've been working on my Pinterest challenge. I tried making butter the other day. That was a HUGE fail. I think the cream was just too cold and possibly too fresh. I am going to try again with some that is closer to room temperature and maybe a few days old. I tried it with fresh raw milk and skimmed the cream off the top the day after I got the milk. I'm thinking I may have to try a few different approaches until I get it. Thank goodness my best friend's family owns a dairy farm.

I also worked on making hummingbird feed (sugar water without dye). I am also making a gnome garden. We had to put the finishing touches on hold until I can find a Hot Wheel tire. What happened to the days when I'd bitch about the little toy cars all over the house? Now there are laptops, tablets, and shoes instead of the Hot Wheels, LEGO's,  and Thomas the Train toys that used to reign supreme (my boys have grown too fast...someone make it stop).

The favorite from this week's Pins has to be the Pizza Waffles. I guess anything pizza is a winner in my house.  A few weeks ago I made the Mini Pizza Cupcakes and those were a hit, so I should have figured these would be just as awesome and Man Cave Approved!

 I love waffles, so I have a waffle maker in my kitchen arsenal. I know not everyone has one, so maybe you could experiment with a George Foreman grill or something like that. I'm not saying it will work, but it may. These things were super simple. You just cut a slit in biscuit dough, put the ingredients you want into the center, pinch the dough shut, and then put them in the waffle maker until they are nice and done. I noticed the ones that were lighter brown were not fully cooked, so let them get a little darker. Not burnt, but more done. Once they're done you can dip them in pizza sauce or ranch dressing.  I made pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, and ham n' cheese ones. The pepperoni pizza ones were the overall winner.  Who knew?  (I did. My guys love pepperoni)

I think next time I make these I'm going to try cinnamon and sugar or fruit filled waffles. I have a feeling they will work, but I won't know until I try them. How will you stuff these? I'd love to get some more ideas for these waffles.
