We’ve been die-hard fans for years, and we still are! One thing that hasn’t changed over the last few weeks is our family’s love of Florida’s Natural. So if anyone wants to eat waffles “with us” next weekend or have pork chops for dinner on Wednesday, just let me know.

My daughter also suggested that we invite other friends to video call with us for meals – and that maybe we could make the same meal and dine together. We decided to eat breakfast outside once a week and set up some sort of food bar as often as possible. The kids told them jokes, complained about the schedule I have them on and used WAYYYYY too much orange juice glaze on their waffles. In the meantime, having breakfast together helps a lot. We’re not sure when we’ll get to see them again in person. They’re home together in Michigan, and we live in Ohio. Once everyone loaded their plates, we did a video call with my parents (Yia Yia and Papa). The kids agreed that it was a nice change from our normal breakfasts around the kitchen counter. Usually we would reserve something like this for a brunch party or for guests, but just because we won’t be getting together with family or friends for awhile doesn’t mean we can’t do things like this for ourselves. With all of our ingredients ready for our waffle bar, we set it up on the patio. It’s so incredibly easy, and it’s so delicious!Ĭombine 1/4 cup of Florida’s Natural® orange juice with 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar and one teaspoon of melted butter.Įasy peasy and so darn good!

We have it on our waffles and pancakes for special occasions, but I’d never taught them how to make it themselves. Then I taught my daughter how to make our favorite Orange Juice Glaze.

The full recipe for these waffles is below. Apparently we should have stocked up on those instead of toilet paper. We made 3-ingredient waffles since we’re running low on flour and eggs. (The stories they’ll have to tell their kids one day about their quarantine chores will no doubt be legendary.) They’re getting really good at laundry, dusting baseboards, washing mirrors and scrubbing pots and pans. We’re focusing a lot on life skills right now. To get started, I had two kids making the waffles and another washing fresh fruit. So last weekend, I teamed up with Florida’s Natural® Brand Orange Juice and created a waffle bar on our backyard patio. It’s fairly fluid, but it’s a start.Īnd while I’m all about structure and routine, I’m also all about fun distractions and making memories as a family. It also helps so that I’m not constantly making decisons about how we’re spending our time. I’ve created a routine for ourselves that gives us all a bit of structure so that we know what to expect and when. My husband and I are working from home, but our biggest priority is making sure our kids are feeling safe and secure.Īnd don’t melt their brains with too much screen time. Looks like my New Year’s Resolution of eating more meals at home is coming true – in a much different way than anticipated. Like most of the world, we’re spending all of our time at home these days.
