Chicken and waffles is such a popular dish to eat. It’s one that I grew up loving after my parents introduced it to me. Because I like to remix recipes, I started making my kids chicken IN waffles instead of them a side by side thing. And then after having cheese and chives in my waffles during a trip to Orlando, this month I took the remix a little further by adding some cheese too!
Jump to RecipeSunday’s Are For Family Brunch
Homeschooling with 3 while working doesn’t leave me with a lot of time by myself or to hang with my husband so we’ve reserved Sunday as our family days. These are the days that you can find us cooking brunch together while laughing and having a good time before heading to church. Mini is really into cooking (thank goodness!) so this time has really turned into something that she and I do for the family while they clean or lounge.

The Difference of Coombs Organic Maple Syrup
Did you know that maple syrup is good for you?
Ok… Maybe not in the same way that eating a salad is good for your health but there are some nutrients and minerals in there that offset some of the sugars present.
Not all maple syrups are made the same or offer a great output. I’m somewhat of a maple syrup connoisseur which is why when I tasted Coombs Organic Maple Syrup I knew it was something that I could support on the regular. Yes, maple syrup is pure but there’s a difference in being pure and organic.
Coombs Maple Syrups are certified organic by the Quality Assurance International (QAI) AND the USDA–yes, they are overachievers! When I toured the Organic Valley farms, I learned about the process for farms to become organic–this is not an easy or cheap process to say the least.
…the criteria for organic maple syrup go deeper than that. Being certified organic means that our maple syrup was harvested with much more in mind than immediate, short-term gain. While pesticides and chemicals may make farming easier, organic maple syrup production is healthier for the forest, healthier for the environment, and healthier for consumers. By choosing to farm organically and not use artificial pesticides, we are doing our part to protect our environment and nurture our forests so that we can continue to produce high-quality organic maple syrup for generations to come.

This view here is what makes a difference to me as both a consumer and someone who is committed to the sustainability of the Earth. I really love how committed they are to making sure that how they maintain their trees and land makes a greater impact than “just” producing maple syrup–kudos to them!
We’re Heading To Vermont To Learn About the Process Ourselves!
I’m so excited about this. Seriously. I LOVE hands on learning and couldn’t be more excited to share this experience with my family. I’ve known we were going for a couple weeks but we just told them. Check out the video below and follow the hashtag #tcmxcoombs to see what we get into while we’re there!
