Making Late Night Snacks: Frozen Waffle Breakfast Dessert

As I had my face buried in my laptop, my eyes stopped at Bay State Rock Carmelita's post on the Facebook newsfeed. Her mention of blueberry pancakes made me fantasize myself in a diner. At one point, this thought went to IHOP.

Oh, IHOP, how I cannot drink coffee anymore because of you and your bottomless pots for $2. No teenager should consume that amount of coffee.

Anyways, I needed to satisfy my increasing desire for this breakfast plate. What was a girl to do? Then the light bulb clicked on. Although I couldn't have blueberry pancakes at the moment, I did have the ingredients to replicate IHOP's Belgium Waffle - Frozen Waffles, Banana Slices, Strawberry Sauce, Maple Syrup, and Whipped Cream. Not the best in the world, but definitely satisfying for the middle of the night snack.

Ingredients

• Frozen Waffles (cook according to directions)
• Banana - sliced
• Strawberry Sauce
• Maple Syrup
• Whipped Cream

Layer all ingredients in the order they appear. Substitute or delete any ingredients as you feel fit. Boom.

End Note:
IHOP, you hop, we all hop for IHOP is a line that will forever be in my head from my glory days of binge coffee drinking. Breakfast, anyone? 

Making Late Night Snacks: The Creamy Noodle by Sarah Sparks

It's the time for another Late Night Snack with a visit from Large Curd Cottage Cheese and Leftover Fettuccine Noodles. 

During the late night hours, I have grown accustomed to finding fast and simple snacks.

I am keeping this short and sweet, because you know, it IS 4:21 in the morning, and I want to get my grub on fast and easy. My mission: find two ingredients to combine and consume in less than two minutes. 2:2

INGREDIENT #1

Leftover Fettuccine Noodles; Microwave 30 Seconds In Microwave Dish

Making Late Night Snacks: Unique Twist on the Matzo Ball by Sarah Sparks

Making Late Night Snacks out of Matzo Balls

If you follow this blog, you know that I attempted to make Matzo Balls for my grandmother. I got a pretty decent score for my first time. 

Ended up throwing on some hot sauce and hot peppers.

Let's fast forward to right now.

As I rummaged through the fridge full of random perishables. I spotted the Tupperware container filled with matzo balls - my second attempt. I had no more broth, so Matzo Ball Soup was out. Hmmm. What do I do? My eyes kept landing on the salsa and sour cream.

"I do love an excuse to eat sour cream," I stated quietly out loud (mind you, my grandmother is sleeping).

I pulled the three items out and started to prepare a Jewish version of nachos. Sliced the balls and layered the other two ingredients on top. I, then, sat at the dining table and tried this outlandish combination.

The toppings masked most of the flavor of the matzo ball slices which served as a decent substitute for chips.

Matzo Ball Nachos

- Leftover Matzo Balls, sliced (used this recipe minus two eggs - still not perfect)
- Salsa
- Sour Cream
- Hot Sauce (optional)
- Pickled Hot Peppers, coarsely chopped (optional)

Heat matzo balls. Layer ingredients in order of mention.
