Recovery Waffle

Whole-wheat buttermilk waffle topped with lemon pudding & blueberries

I accidently (ok, on purpose) ran 26.2 miles today (minus 18 miles). I ran well the whole time, which is so reassuring. After last week, and then having some late nights this week, my legs felt tired and heavy during every run.

A cold leftover waffle hit the spot. I wanted a topping more substantial than syrup, but not as blatantly unhealthy as whipped cream, so I went for the lemon pudding I'd made a couple of days ago. Lemon and blueberries love each other, so I added a handful. Oranges are just pretty.

I need to try making something similar with a crepe. My sister's crepes are apparently crepe-tacular. Maybe she'll share her technique!

I don't have any special crepe recipe..I think I used one from allrecipes.com. They're so easy! I stuffed them with all sorts of stuff I had lying around. :)

Found your blog through Holly's. Nice waffle. And don't worry, there is nothing wrong with cream, dairy products are good for bones and an important part of a balance diet.
