Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option)Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently.

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum!Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Foreman grill, Panini maker or in a pan.

Cheddar Bay Drop BiscuitsIn searching for an easy biscuit recipe, I happened on this one somewhere and fooled with it a bit. It's super easy and takes little time to prepare. These biscuits disappear in a flash, especially if served with butter. |

Classic New England Clam ChowdaManhattan is a red soup, New England is a white chowder, and ours is a buttery yellow. This is the simplest, most satisfying chowder I have ever had. NO FLOUR!
