It’s not surprising that during the summer months I miss making waffles, so when the opportunity arose in Vancouver, (in the home of the original “waffle night” creator, no less), I took it and tried out this 4-ingredient recipe.

We modified it slightly, using purple sweet potatoes, and flour that was on hand.

Our recipe is as follows:

• 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 3 large eggs
• 6 Tbsp flour
• 1 1/2 tsp salt

Stir all the ingredients together. Preheat and spray waffle iron generously with non-stick spray. Place approximately 1/2 cup of mix in the center of the waffle iron and cook 5-8 minutes or until cooked through.

Enjoy!

If a picture is worth one thousand words, brace yourself for a “lengthy” update. Here are some of my highlights of the summer.

Toronto Summer Fellowship

I have been so blessed as I have gathered and connected with Ryerson and OCAD students throughout this summer.

Montreal

I spent some time helping my dear friends move and set up their new place, and also got some time to enjoy Montreal’s Jazz Fest.

Ontario Pioneer Camp

I loved working in the Boys Camp Kitchen, and enjoyed my daily deer sightings as I walked between the sites.

Circle Square Ranch Halkirk

After a flight and long drive, I was so excited to serve in the kitchen. I learned some great recipes, saw friends in their home elements, and got some much needed fresh air and perspective.

Saskatchewan

I had a whirlwind 24 hours in Saskatchewan, visiting dear friends and meeting the newest member of their family.

Vancouver

I met up with old friends, made some new ones, ate great food and celebrated milestones. The days flew by; I didn’t see everyone I hoped to see and do all I hoped, but it was so great to be back in Vancouver after 6 years away.
