I want to start this post by thanking everyone for their incredible kindness and compassion. I am overwhelmed by the comments, tweets, facebook notes and emails I have received from this inspiring and thoughtful community about the passing of our puppy Mason. I am incredibly blessed to know you and to have this connection with you. Thank you so much.
As a family we are just trying to move forward with positivity and understanding that God always has a plan, even if we don’t understand it just yet.
I wanted to share this recipe with you, which I made several weeks ago and decided to make for dinner again tonight.
I absolutely love “breakfast for dinner”. There is something wonderful and nostalgic to me about it. Something that my mom used to make for us on an occasional night. And I am just feeling tired and sentimental, so this was the perfect thing.
A Savory Green Onion, Bacon and Cheddar Waffle. Crispy and fluffy buttermilk waffles studded with crispy bacon, green onions and sharp cheddar cheese.
It was easy to make and tasted great and there was an oozy fried egg on top for goodness sake.
To make this waffle, this is what you do:
Sift the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, butter and milk until fluffy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix together.
Add the bacon, onions and cheese and gently mix to combine.
Pre-heat your waffle iron and spray the waffle iron with cooking spray and pour enough batter for a waffle in.
While the waffle is cooking, bring a non-stick pan to medium heat. Grease the pan and fry the eggs to desired doneness. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and top with a little butter and the fried egg.

I am so sorry to hear about your puppy. It is so hard to lose a pet, who so often is a bonafide member of the family.
These waffles look fantastic! Great way to combine waffles and bacon.
Love waffles any which way and this looks like a great way!
You’re such an amazing wife and mother. Sometimes there’s nothing else to do but circle the wagons and nurture the family. Waffles definitely fit the bill. Take care of yourself with a wee bit of pampering.
Vicki -thank you, thank you. I am feeling that way. I am going to take off with my girlfriends next weekend and take a breather.
Sending big hugs and thinking of you and your family! xo

Now this is my kind of breakfast; love savoury breakfasts!
What a fantastic breakfast!
I made it Heather it’s just perfect for breakfast ,brunch, lunch, dinner and between .what do you suggest to put in it instead of bacon ? I made it without bacon
Oh great!!! I bet it is a good dish with no bacon if you don’t want meat at all. I think that the egg on top gives plenty of protein!
