Learning to Cook with Jim

Learning to assemble a 6” cake! Take note of the half Vanilla, half Chocolate. The icing stage is called the crumb coat. It has to chill before the final icing is applied.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to revisit WAFFLES, since they are so delicious and affordable. I also have a suggestion to increase the nutritional value as well as the taste. This recipe makes 5 Waffles at a cost of $.36 cents each for a total cost of $1.80. The waffles freeze well for a quick meal later on. The nutritional boost comes from adding Bob's Red Mill 10 Grain Cereal.

Clementina’s Tuna Tacos! Boyhood comfort food...
My mother won a contest in the local newspaper back in the day.

Make your favorite tuna salad and fry up some tortillas, it’s that easy!

I like hard boiled eggs, sautéed onions, celery, and mayonnaise in my tuna salad.
