Haven't made these in a while but they are very good.
WHOLE WHEAT WAFFLES
A terrific way to start your day, much better than the frozen waffles you can find at the grocery store.
Number of Servings: 5
Ingredients
1-3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp of salt
1 tbsp baking powder
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites
1-3/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tsp Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract
Make Breakfast with Half the Calories
Directions
In a large mixing bowl stir flour, baking powder, Splenda and salt.
In a small mixing bowl beat egg yolks, milk, vanilla and applesauce.
Add to the flour mixture all at once.
Stir mixture until blended.
In small mixer bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold beaten egg whites into original mixture and do not over mix.
Pour batter onto preheated waffle maker which has been sprayed with non-fat cooking spray.
They take about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle maker.
To keep waffles warm while making the batch, turn oven on to 200 and place the cooked waffles on the wire rack.
These waffles freeze well and will reheat in a toaster. This is a much healther choice than frozen ones from the grocery.

These look great Chad! I love making my own waffles and pancakes! I will often substitute oatmeal, flax seed, or even chia seeds in for some of the flour to make them more nutritious too. I will give yours a try!0

These are the recipes I made for our little celebration that was held at DF a few weeks back. I love this balsalmic glaze and use it frequently. The red pepper soup I make a lot too, very low in calories. I make this as an appetizer every year for Thanksgiving. Always goes over well.
Red Pepper Soup
1 Tbsp Olive oil
4 Red Bell Peppers chopped
1 onion chopped, I used a Vidalia but I’ve used shallots before too
4 cloves of garlic
24 ounces of chicken stock
1/8 tsp Black pepper
Cayenne Pepper to taste
You can also add cream or fat free half and half to make the soup creamy. I did not do this.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Place the red bell pepper, onion and garlic in the saucepan and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. I put it in the fridge because I made it a day ahead and pureed it while cold. Hot soup in the blender was a catastrophe in the past
You can run the soup through a strainer for a smoother consistency if desired….I did not. Put soup back into soup pot and warm. Stir in the cream or fat free half and half if you desire. Add the ground black pepper and cayenne and allow to heat through, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Balsamic Glazed Chicken Bites
Chicken Breasts
Garlic
Thyme (Rosemary would be great too, or Sage for Pork)
Salt and Pepper
Pound out chicken breasts with meat tenderizer. Rub chicken with crushed garlic and thyme, salt and pepper. Spray olive oil in pan to brown chicken and cook or grill….yum. Cut chicken into cube sizes and add to glaze below. Great hot or cold, or in a salad!
Balsamic Glaze (Great for chicken, pork, or beef)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Combine ingredients for glaze in small sauce pan. Heat and stir until mixture thickens. Brush meat with glaze 2 or 3 times when it is almost done cooking. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.0 -
Michelle, I even used the glaze with shrimp and it was good.0

Just found these online. Sue we should try them.
Oatmeal chocolate chips cookies
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup quick rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 TBSP cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional - could use raisins or walnuts)
Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup olive or coconut oil
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
Mix dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients together. Mix wet with dry. If it seems too wet, add a pinch or two of extra flour. Cool the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge (sometimes I don't bother doing this). Preheat oven to 335 degrees. Drop by tablespoons onto a greased baking pan - 24 cookies. Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking but not too thin. Bake about 15-20 minutes (my oven is 22 minutes) or until golden brown.
Mine work out to be about 60 calories each. YUM!!0
