PINTO BEAN-OAT WAFFLES

These just might be the best waffles you've ever eaten...

2 1/4 cups water

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup soaked pinto beans (approximately 1/2 cup dry)

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Soak beans several hours or overnight. Drain. Combine and blend all ingredients in a food processor or blender until light and foamy, about 30 seconds. [TIP: if you don't have room for all the water, then mix the batter with half the water and add the other half to your bowl of batter.]

Let stand while waffle iron is heating. The batter thickens on standing. Grease waffle iron (we like the Waring Pro waffle iron, shown here) with a cooking spray or high-quality solid shortening. Bake in hot waffle iron for a full 8 minutes. (Very important!).

Top with fruit and yogurt, bananas and peanut butter, stewed apples, rhubarb sauce, or creamed broccoli and chicken or smoked salmon (my favorite) . Makes 3 to 4 waffles. TIP: Soak extra beans, measure and freeze them for later. The waffles can be made and frozen, too. Just pop them in the microwave or toaster oven.

	HG’s Snazzy Blueberry Scones
	Let's Get Sconed
	There are few things more satisfying than a doughy, warm pastry exploding with sweet blueberries. So it's too bad a typical scone recipe reads like a Who’s Who’s of Fattytown -- heavy cream, butter, eggs, sugar, buttermilk…Eeeks! But don’t worry, these scary ingredients are not carved in, er, scone. With a few sassy swaps like a low-fat baking mix and light vanilla soymilk, we've created a magical scone-y masterpiece that you can actually feel good about eating for breakfast...or anytime. Weeeee! *Ingredients:* 2/3 cup uncooked oatmeal (not instant) 1/3 cup Bisquick Heart Smart Baking Mix 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tbsp. brown sugar 2 tsp. Smart Balance 37% Light Buttery Spread 1/3 cup light vanilla soymilk 3/4 cup blueberries *Directions:* Set oven to 400 degrees. Mix first 6 ingredients in a bowl. Fold in berries. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and form 4 mounds of batter on sheet (leave room in between 'em -- they expand!). Bake for 10 minutes. Makes 4 large scones.
