Sweet Potato Waffles

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = April Fool’s (aka recipes with a surprising twist)!

First off…hey guys.

What can I say? I decided to be an overachiever. I was doing so well on this rotation with one hand that I figured I’d try to finish it off with neither one fully functional.

Good thing I made this recipe ages ago, because I totally can’t cook now.

What did I make!?!? MITOSIS ANTI-GRAVITY SWEET POTATO WAFFLES.

Sorry for shouting–it was a trying task. :O

I had a hard time deciding whether to post this recipe for April Fool’s or for Sweden’s National Waffle Day last weekend. This Mitosis Anti-Gravity Sweet Potato Waffles recipe needs to come with a pretty fat disclaimer. Why mitosis, and why anti-gravity?

It’s mostly because our first two attempts to get the right consistency resulted in…

1. Mitosis: Attempt #1 found that our waffle decided to become two instead of one (aka split into two pieces so one half stuck to the top half of the waffle iron and the bottom half stayed at the bottom)
2. Anti-Gravity: Attempt #2 witnessed our waffle decided not to split, but it instead opted to defy the laws of gravity–aka staying snugly in my waffle iron even when I overturned it in an attempt to shake it out.

When Flo came over, she saw me with the plate of waffle remnants I’d managed to excavate from my waffle iron and, from a distance, thought we’d made fried chicken. (sigh.)

But…three times the charm, right?

(To be fair, even the scraps are super tasty, even if they’re not the prettiest! Add a little sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice) and throw it over a veggie scramble and bam! You’d have a deliciously nutritious breakfast…or really, any meal.)

We used organic eggs from Costco, which we have lovingly named “Mighty Eggs” because their shells are pretty darn tough. I’ve been spoiled by our chicken (when they’re not on strike) + duck eggs over at Please Save A Cat, but these were pretty comparable!

End-of-Week-ish Recap!

• Have you ever gone for something even though you didn’t think it’d ever happen? That’s baaaasically what was going on in my mind before I applied and interviewed at the residency program I matched into!
• It’s been a while since I’ve done another hike recap! Come with me on my hike up Mission Peak (arguably the one place I’ve hiked the most frequently over the years!)!
• Make sure you stop by tomorrow for April’s Ultimate Coffee Date! In the meantime, check out past coffee dates! :]

P.S. I did not in fact end up with another boxer’s fracture. I just volunteered my other hand as the practice dummy for another med student. My left hand is mostly fine, other than a minor burn from the saw he used to cut my cast off. Hope I didn’t worry you too much?! April Fools? :D?

• Are you good at making waffles?
• Sweet or savory?
• Did you play any pranks on anyone today?
