Pepperoni Chaffle Recipes with Everything Bagel Seasoning

Good morning and happy Monday! 

I wish I was happier, quite honestly, but being sick for almost six weeks has definitely taken a huge toll on me. I had COVID a few weeks ago and this lingering cough has been killing me. It takes everything out of me and makes me so tired within hours of waking up. I'll be honest, I took maybe two hours total off of work to rest and that was definitely not enough. Hopefully that didn't damage my body even more by not resting for five weeks. I love being productive and being busy so it's very, very hard for me to just stop and relax. The last three nights I have gotten more than nine hours of sleep per night with a sleep quality score over 84 so that's actually really, really good for me. As for medication, I have done it all - cough syrup, Mucinex DM, Robitusum DM, tablets/pills, warm water and honey, warm water with honey and lemon, nothing has worked. I called the doctor's office today who said they recommend I do a walk in and see if they suggest doing a lung x-ray (which is what my doctor suggested after six weeks) so I will do that on Thursday. Fingers crossed it's nothing major and hopefully it's just an extension of COVID. 

As for the chaffles. It's been ages since I've made pizza chaffles but I actually used a previous recipe I made back in February and added Everything but the Bagel seasoning. I only took two photos because I wasn't going to use this as a blog but they were delish so I couldn't help but share! Chaffles are basically a healthier version of a waffle but you can top it with anything. I specifically made this one pizza because it was a quick, easy and filling lunch. Plus it's a healthier alternative to regular pizza. I hadn't used the Everything Bagel Seasoning before and thought this would be a great time to incorporate it. It added a salt flavor to the top which was a nice touch. I also recommend that you keep the Chaffle in the waffle maker until browned, at least 3-4 minutes, that way it's not doughy. I broiled it too for an added crisp.  

Ingredients:
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 tbsp flour
Mini pepperoni slices
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
Pasta sauce, to top
Everything but the Bagel seasoning, to top 
Mini pepperoni slices, to top

Directions:
Plug in a waffle maker. In a bowl, combine the cheese, egg, flour, pepperoni slices, Oregano, seasoning, and garlic powder. Pour the batter into a waffle iron until chaffle is browned, about 3-4 minutes. Turn on broiler. Add chaffle to a baking sheet, top with pasta sauce and more mini pepperoni slices. Broil for 2 minutes. Top with Everything but the Bagel seasoning. Let me know what you think!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
