Our 1st Texas Shaped Breakfast

In my family we have a favorite breakfast, PEACHES & CREAM. My amazing mother spends hours each fall canning lemon alberta peaches so we can enjoy them year-round. We love having those canned peaches on top of a hot waffle and topped with freshly whipped cream.
I served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in TEXAS. My parents picked me up at the end of my mission, noramlly missionaries fly home. In one of the hotels we stayed at there was Texas shaped waffels. Yes, the big waffle irons like you see in any hotel only this was Texas where state pride is never ending & everywhere. Since I loved Texas I wanted one too. I thought it would be years before I ever found. So you can imagine my great surprise and joy when, at my bridal shower, I opened this gift from my mother. Thanks Mom!




Oct 2, 2010 we had to have it again. It is also a tradition in my family to have this breakfast on special occasions. General Conference weekend is such an occasion. We had it with strawberries and white peaches I had bought at the farmers market. They had free samples and it was delicious. I had to have one. We shared it. Not your traditional peaches and cream but it was yummy just the same.


Farmers market produce. Oh how I miss my parents garden and fruit trees!
Can you tell which peach is the "white" one?
