This morning I packed up some stuff to have some waffles with my world cup
+
I ran across the street to watch the first game, Mexico vs South Africa, with this fella
That’s Daniele. He’s pretty.
He also made a bet that South Africa wouldn’t win a single game…reason enough for me to betray the latinos and root for South Africa. They tied. I can be happy with that.
So while I watched in rather agitated fashion, I enjoyed this:
Rhubarb Waffles
adapted from Eating Well’s Rhubarb Waffles
5 stalks of rhubarb (cut into 1/4 inch pieces)
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
In a pot, combine rhubarb and sugar. Cook for about 10 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove 1 cup of rhubarb and set aside. Continue to cook the rest of the rhubarb for another 5-10 minutes, until rhubarb breaks down and thickens.
Combine remaining ingredients and reserved rhubarb to make the batter. Cook in a heated waffle iron for about 10 minutes. Serve with rhubarb sauce.
This made 4 fat waffles and wayyyy more sauce than necessary.
Thanks Liz for letting us borrow your waffle iron!!
Okay I’m off to burn off some of these waffle calories. Have a great day!

Everyone has been uber excited for the world cup over here. It’s kind of the only thing everyone talks about. I guess I will watch a couple of matches but I’m not a huge fan.
On the other hand it’s super fun to watch my friends watch football. They’re all emotional and yell at the tv. It’s hilarious :).
Would you like to come over here and make me some waffles please? Thankyouverymuch.
Have a great weekend! 🙂
oooh, pretty waffles! they look so perfect, especially the sauce 🙂 I still need to try rhubarb something!!
have a great weekend !
I love your friends shirt!! It made me chuckle.
I’ve been wanting to try rhubarb, looks like a good recipe!
Rhubarb?! I thought it was salsa and I was like mmm salsa waffles. But I’ve never tried rhubarb and if it resembles salsa it’s something I need to try. Did you watch the England/USA game? I was kinda rooting for England but I’m happy with a tie
Hi Karla,
I just stumbled upon your blog and I absolutely love it! The pics of those waffles are fabulous. I have been a long time food blog reader but just became active yesterday and decided to start my own blog… so if you have any tips for success I would really appreciate it!
