Good morning!
I treated this morning like a Sunday–-waffle-style!
Yep, this was an amazing day to start a Humpday all right! I used the last 1/2 cup of my box of Kodiak Cakes Mix (need to get more of this, asap) and then topped my huge waffle with 1/3 cup Oikos, blueberries and toasted sliced almonds. Get this: I AM OUT OF MAPLE SYRUP! And that stuff is just so darn expensive that I need to wait until I get a paycheck to buy more. So good, so worth it, but so expensive.
So today is one of my favorite days of the week because I get to go to the power yoga class I love at noon, which was partly why I ate this big breakfast—lunch won’t be until 2:00! This class always totally kicks my butt but the final savasana is oh so worth it. 😉
I’m online for the next few hours working on writing another True/Slant article (hmm what shall today be?!) and doing some random side projects. Twitter me! 😛

Have a great one girl!

July 29, 2009 at 9:09 amJenna, your food pictures always look amazing. Is it the camera, or do you process them with any software? I use Picasa occasionally (it’s free & easy to use) but mine dont look even half as good! x

Its the camera. I don’t use any special software but I do use a tiny Canon Powershot camera that totally rocks the house. 🙂

July 29, 2009 at 9:41 amblueberry and yogurt topped waffles + yoga sounds like a great wednesday! i need to get to yoga asap – my neck and shoulders are super tight today. ahh, stress.

July 29, 2009 at 9:41 amWe *make* organic maple syrup at my parents’ estate – tap the trees, boil it, the whole deal. I’ll happy send you some if you’ll email me!
Bec
July 29, 2009 at 9:44 ammmm yumm 🙂
Andee (Runtolive)
July 29, 2009 at 9:44 amWow your waffle looks divine! Have a great humpday!
Allie Katie
July 29, 2009 at 9:46 amWaffles always remind me of college dorm cafeterias! My college had our logo on the waffle iron to brand all the waffles–crucial for football game day school pride at breakfast time!
Eve
July 29, 2009 at 9:46 amThat looks divine!! Seems like you did well without the maple syrup, the yogurt & blueberries make such a great topping. Going without the maple syrup for some time will make it even more worth it when you do eventually buy it!

July 29, 2009 at 9:52 amHOLY YUM Jenna! That waffle looks amazing. And yay for a Dexter appearance! Haha

July 29, 2009 at 9:56 amI hear yag, my huge bottel from WH is $20!!!!! And it SHOULD last me a long time, but I use it to bake a lot so sadly it doesn’t last that long after all lol.
Graze With Me
July 29, 2009 at 9:57 amI love waffles, wish I had time to make them in the mornings though 🙁
Your cat is so funny, how is it that the one thing they know they’re not supposed to lay on and get all hairy is the only thing they want? Mine always sleep in the clean laundry baskets. Never when they’re full of dirty clothes though, no – always clean…
Jenna
July 29, 2009 at 9:59 amyummy!! waffles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WholeBodyLove
July 29, 2009 at 10:05 amI have become such a greek yogurt fan! I may not even need the maple syrup! I hate that that the artificially flavored, preservative laden syrup is so cheap. But, the real deal is almost $10 a bottle!!

July 29, 2009 at 10:08 amWaffles and blueberries (they’re the one berry I really don’t care for – though I know they are so good for me!) don’t usually don’t do it for me but those pictures look absolutely amazing.
Ellen
July 29, 2009 at 10:22 amcheck out maple syrup at costco! last time i was there i saw JUGS of it for the same price as a small bottle at the grocery store. i grew up with real maple syrup (literally, my neighbors had a business tapping trees) and couldn’t imagine going without.
Lori
July 29, 2009 at 10:26 amThat waffle looks yummy! My kitty loves to lay (and claw at) my gym bag. She thinks it is hers 😀
Denise
July 29, 2009 at 10:27 amoh my gosh … a waffle with no maple ? blasphemy!
i do agree though, soooo dang expensive ! have a great yoga class!
katie s
July 29, 2009 at 10:29 amAwww what a cutie! Dexter likes to lay on/in just about everything, doesn’t he?! Your breakfast makes me wish I didn’t already eat my bowl of cereal so I could have delectable waffles!!! Hmmm I think that will be on the menu for tomorrow 😉 Can’t wait to read the new article!!!

July 29, 2009 at 10:33 amWhat a lovely “comfort food” breakfast to start out the day. SO delicious! I’ve actually found that I like adding agave nectar onto my waffles and pancakes even better than maple syrup. It adds the perfect amount of sweetness without tasting too sugary. 🙂
Taylor
July 29, 2009 at 10:46 amThat waffle look ah-mazing!!! My cat loves trying to get into bags, but he’s so big and cant fit into them! Did your cat try to fit into your purse?
Mandy A
July 29, 2009 at 11:01 amYUMMY waffle!!
I can’t find the Kodiak Mix anywhere here in TN 🙁 Not at any health food stores or Publix 🙁 I’d love to get some.. I may just need to order it online!

Kailey (SnackFace)
July 29, 2009 at 11:14 amOh wow, such a gorgeous breakfast! I totally agree about the maple syrup- so expensive, but so worth it! I’m currently holding out until I return to Ohio to buy agave nectar. Have a lovely day and a blast at power yoga!
Madelin @ What is for breakfast?
July 29, 2009 at 11:14 amYour kitty is such a cutie! Is he a Burmese?
Evan Thomas
July 29, 2009 at 11:22 amA waffle without maple syrup just seems naked. I get the TJ Maple Agave blend–so good and subtly sweet
JB
July 29, 2009 at 11:30 amcould that waffle be ANY more gorgeous?! i don’t think so. it’s almost as gorgeous as dexter!
Mary (Food & Fun)
July 29, 2009 at 11:36 amYou got me craving waffles. Maybe I will make it breakfast for dinner tonight and whip some up!
Kyle
July 29, 2009 at 11:40 amGet the maple syrup at costco! Haha it’s a huge jug, but I’m sure it’ll keep and be cheaper in the long run.
Susan
July 29, 2009 at 11:45 amLovely looking waffle!! A belgian waffle maker is definitely on my list of kitchen things to get… I always make a special breakfast for myself mid-week. Makes getting out of bed easier 🙂
MAya
July 29, 2009 at 11:56 amI agree with everyone–gorgeous photos!
Angharad
July 29, 2009 at 11:56 amYour waffles are indeed, the prettiest thing ever! Happy Hump Day!!
Just saw the work space photo with wine as well – all about that!

July 29, 2009 at 12:13 pmLove the waffle and the Longchamp bag…I have a huge one on brown 🙂
Happy Wednesday!

Rebecca
July 29, 2009 at 12:23 pmOO your waffle looks so good!! I need a waffle iron! I love having weekend breakfasts during the week! Except that since I’m on summer break, everyday is a weekend day for me 🙂
K
July 29, 2009 at 12:27 pmYour waffles look delicious with or without maple syrup!!

July 29, 2009 at 12:30 pmHey Jenna! In light of your recent trip to Cali, I thought you’d find this article interesting:

Have a good day!
Rebeca
July 29, 2009 at 12:30 pmI want that waffle so badly!
OMG Dexter’s knows cuteness when he sees it… he has good taste!
Kristen
July 29, 2009 at 12:45 pmWow!! Just a large waffle till 2, AND yoga? Was this a late breakfast? O.o hehe
Sara
July 29, 2009 at 12:50 pmJenna, if you’re ever near a Trader Joe’s again, get their “Maple Agave Blend” — it’s delicious, cheaper, AND fewer calories than regular syrup!
Rose
July 29, 2009 at 1:04 pmOMG. I think these are the best waffles I have EVER seen. So delicious!
Jessica
July 29, 2009 at 1:12 pmcute waffle lol!

July 29, 2009 at 1:20 pmHi, I love your blog! I found you through the Murphy Goode interviews. Did you get that job? You are so lucky! I have diagnosed myself with some sort of gluten allergy. Got any good gluten-free diet ideas?
April
July 29, 2009 at 1:34 pmWhat a cute picture of Dexter!
The waffle looks fab.
Amanda @ Cakes and Ale
July 29, 2009 at 1:36 pmI go through the same debate with maple syrup. Trader Joe’s, however, sells some more moderately priced varieties, which is great for the budget!
Carolyn
July 29, 2009 at 1:38 pmI’m gonna have to make some Fiber One pancakes (awesome mix…a little sweet and very light and fluffy) this weekend. Your post is making me crave carbs!
P.S. I’m giving away a free container of Spirutein on my blog!
britt
July 29, 2009 at 2:00 pmthat waffle looks amazing!
Cynthia (It all changes)
July 29, 2009 at 2:06 pmThat is my favorite way to eat waffles too. Hunni just likes regular syrup but always mix some greek yogurt, honey and bluberries with some almonds to top mine. Delicious!
Jess
July 29, 2009 at 3:25 pmI like yogurt and fruit on pancakes/waffles. Sometimes I’ll use a fruit spread. Rarely maple syrup.
Jess
July 29, 2009 at 3:30 pmwaffles for breakfast; what a great idea 🙂 we never do that in belgium 🙂 funny but i guess it’s delicious!
allijag
July 29, 2009 at 5:22 pmDexter’s got expensive taste! 🙂 Love the breakfast – very pretty!
Susie
July 29, 2009 at 11:32 pmI found a hug jug of pure maple syrup at Costco! Couple bucks more for a tonnnn more 🙂
