    Not a recipe but a very sweet poem

    When God Planted His Garden

    When the wise God planted His garden,
    scattering the seeds from above,
    The choicest seed in His packet
    Was the flower of Mother-love.

    Carefully watched o'er and tended,
    Nurtured by sunshine and shower,
    Ever growing sturdy and stronger,
    It blooms-a beautiful flower.

    A flower so sweet and entrancing,
    Dazzling and shining and white,
    A love that guards us and guides us
    Through hfe~our beacon light.

    A love that steadies our footsteps,
    That stretches a helpful hand,
    That comforts our sorrows and heartaches,
    That always will understand.

    Mother-love, God's gift to His children,
    With heavenly fragrance fraught;
    The brightest flower in God's garden,
    His truest forget-me-not.

    Makes 3-4 waffles

     

    2 c. all-purpose flour

    2 Tbsps. sugar

    2 tsps. baking powder

    1/2 tsp. salt

    2 eggs, lightly beaten

    4 Tbsps. vegetable oil

    1/2 c. small chocolate chips (I used the mini chips)

    1-1/4 c. milk


     

    Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to blend well. Add the eggs and oil then slowly pour in the milk while stirring with a rubber spatula.

     

     

    Add just enough milk to make a batter which mounds slightly when poured. Stir in chocolate chips & blend well to distribute them evenly.

     

     

    Preheat Waffle Pro. Spoon generous 1/3 cup waffle batter onto preheated waffle grid.

     

     

    Close lid and bake until signal indicates waffle is done. Remove waffle & place on a wire rack to cool for about 30 seconds then serve immediately.

     

     

    This batter may leave some melted chocolate on the waffle grid.

     

     

    To clean, let the Waffle Pro cool & wife off chocolate with a warm moist cloth.
