Two Easy Fall Recipes

I love to cook.  There's something about cutting vegetables and figuring out sauces and spices that is very, very therapeutic -- right?  Below, I've included the recipes of two really good meals I fixed recently.  Let me know what you think!

Chocolate Chip Waffles with Cinnamon Apples

Ingredients:

• Butter/non-stick spray

• Waffle mix; I used box mix, so that means I also needed whatever the mix required (oil, eggs, etc). Chocolate Chips

• Apples

• Cinnamon

• Water

Supplies:

• Saucepan and spatula

• Knife

• Cutting board Bowl

• Waffle iron

Steps:

• While your saucepan and waffle iron heat up, begin to dice your apples.

• Melt some butter in the saucepan before putting all the apples in. I also add a little water.

• Mix your waffle batter, spray the iron (I use the non-stick spray for this part), and pour the batter into the iron!  I wait until this step to put in the chocolate chips so that I know they are evenly dispersed.

• When your apples are sauteed to your liking, sprinkle the cinnamon on them, and mix them up so they're coated.  Mackenzie said she thought they looked like potatoes, and I wasn't quite sure how to respond...

• Place the waffles on your plate, drizzle some syrup on them, and then top them with the apples!  Pair with a movie and a cup of tea to really make things ~cozy~.

Teriyaki Chicken with Maple Sriracha Vegetables

Ingredients:

• Butter

• Chicken

• Apples

• Carrots

• Celery

• Maple Syrup

• Sriracha

• Teriyaki Sauce; You can use any sauce you think would be better, but this is actually really, really good

Supplies:

• Knife

• Cutting board

• Saucepan

• Dish for the chicken

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at whatever temperature it says on your bag of chicken. I have frozen chicken, so mine is around 375.

• Dice your apples, celery, and carrots.

• Melt the butter in the saucepan and place the produce inside.  I also add a little bit of water.

• When the vegetables are sauteed, add your desired ratio of maple syrup to sriracha and turn the stove to a lower heat so the mix will simmer.

• Place your chicken in the dish and cover in teriyaki sauce.  When the oven is ready, place inside and cook for its allotted time.  Mine is around 30 minutes.

• When your chicken is done, take it out, check that it's cooked thoroughly, and you're ready to eat!
