Beer Batter Waffles & Father's Day

This was a special Father's Day for us because Josh's whole family was in town. 

We don't usually get to celebrate Father's Day with Josh's dad and both of his brothers!!

As you can tell, it's been a blast: :)

It has also been a special day because it is Josh's first Father's Day with a little guy around to call him "DaDa."

Aren't they handsome?

I love watching Josh as a Daddy.  There is nothing like it in the whole world. 

Whenever they are playing, or tickling, or snuggling...

...it makes my heart melt.  ♥

Josh made a big batch of special waffles this morning for the whole gang, and they were a huge hit.  Especially with the guys.

The beer made them light and fluffy in the middle, the honey made them crispy on the outside.  Win win. :)

I think these waffles might have to become a Father's Day tradition. :)

Josh's Father's Day Beer Batter Waffles

• 2 cups flour
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 eggs, separated
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  
  Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Combine flour, beer, butter, milk, egg yolks, honey, and vanilla in a large bowl; stir until the mixture is smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter. 
  
  Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Ladle the batter into waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.   

The other highlight of our day was calling this guy...

My Dad.  

Whom I love "all the bunches in the world and more!" and will always look up to.  He is home in Vermont patiently waiting for the arrival of Grandson #2. :)



I am so thankful for the amazing men in my life, and for a day to celebrate them.  I am so blessed.

Happy Father's Day!!!
