That makes it one of the most used appliance in my kitchen. That said, it is also one of the biggest investments you will make – in money and counter space....

Apr 27, 2018 Crispy waffles, butter biscuits and good graham crackers are offered alongside standard crackers as both sweet and salty vehicles for a range of cheeses. A quick fruit compote adds some jammy sweetness at the centre, and it is as delicious spooned over the waffles as it is the cheese. Next time I’d add some maple-glazed bacon (from this recipe) and sausage bites on skewers. If you’re feeling fancy and serving a crowd, devilled eggs would be amazing too....

Some think of cauliflower as bland and unimaginative, but I’d rather think of it as the perfect blank canvas.

I emailed him, placed my order, and send my husband to a designated intersection at 8 pm on the agreed-upon date....
