You Can Make 3D Car and Truck Pancakes for Breakfast

Racing frantically through breakfast every morning will be easier now with the help of little cars and trucks made out of waffles.

CucinaPro has come out with a cool new way to fuel your day–a waffle maker that turns your favorite pancake batter into little Hot Wheels looking waffles.

It works just like a normal, boring old waffle maker. Pour the batter into the non-stick molds and, then, vrooom! A plateful of fun that will wake you out of your Ford siesta.

After you pop them out of the garage–er, waffle maker–you’ll see seven different makes and models to butter and syrup.

As you can imagine, the appliance speedily sold out on Amazon where the Cars & Trucks Waffle Maker was listed for $42.95.

But don’t let that drive you away. Get on the list so you’ll be able to enter the expressway to morning fun as soon as it becomes available again.

I mean… what kid wouldn’t love this? Wait… what PERSON wouldn’t love this? These are insanely cool!

If cars aren’t your thing, you can also get a dinosaur maker. Either way, the reviews of both makers are excellent with some users advising cooking spray to ensure all the little shapes emerge perfectly.

Rumor has it the company tried to make a motorcycle waffle maker but the pancakes wouldn’t stay right side up. They were…two tired.

Okay, so that was horrible… but I want to see you do better. Tell me your favorite joke in the comments!

A Man Broke into a House, Cooked Breakfast and Told the Resident to ‘Go Back to Sleep’

Awwwww, isn’t this nice?

This might be the most wholesome crime ever. A man in Florida broke into someone’s home and cooked himself a nice breakfast. When the resident woke up, the burglar simply told them to “go back to sleep.”

Perhaps the burglar didn’t offer to make the resident a plate because they were not happy about the whole situation. They went on to call 911.

The suspect, Gavin Crim, is a 19-year-old Marine. He allegedly entered the house through an unlocked back door while the resident was asleep, according to local deputies. The resident discovered him in their kitchen, cooking and eating, sometime after 4 a.m. on a Tuesday morning.

After the resident threatened to call 911, Gavrin fled from the scene. Deputies tracked him down in a wooded swamp area behind the house. He was arrested and charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling. He has since been released on a $1000 bond, and officers say he confessed to the burglary.

It’s not clear what Gavin’s motive was, but an arrest report mentioned that Gavin may have been under the influence of alcohol, which kind of explains the situation. A few stiff drinks could totally inspire you to enter a random house in search of waffles!

The resident didn’t specify what kind of breakfast the burglar made, but it’s safe to say that he probably didn’t do the dishes.

This Is Why You Shouldn’t Drink Coffee Before Breakfast

This is not good news…for me at least…

People love to drink coffee for breakfast, if internet memes and novelty mugs are any indications. But while you may feel like a zombie until you’ve had your morning coffee, you may want to eat a bagel or something first. It’s really not the best idea to drink it on an empty stomach, Reader’s Digest reports.

Coffee has a number of benefits, but it can have negative effects as well, particularly if you drink it before breakfast. First, it can increase your level of stress.

“Drinking coffee on an empty stomach, or early in the morning before you’ve had breakfast, can increase the level of cortisol in your body,” Dr. Nikola Djordjevic told the outlet.

Cortisol is the hormone responsible for regulating your stress response, immune response, and metabolism. Your body begins producing cortisol when you wake up in the morning, and if you drink coffee while your cortisol levels are peaking, you may subject your body to even more stress.

Second, coffee can irritate your stomach and make your gut more acidic overall, and when you have no food in your stomach, there’s nothing to help absorb the coffee. The overproduction of gastric acid leads to other side effects, like heartburn. It can even affect your mental health by causing mood swings, jitters, shaking, and other withdrawal symptoms (if you cut your caffeine). Some studies have even linked gastric acid to anxiety and depression.

You don’t have to give up your precious morning coffee, though. All of these effects can be curbed by simply eating breakfast before you take your first sip.

Similar to a croissant, this French pastry has flaky, buttery layers and the center contains chocolate. I’m drooling like Homer Simpson right now…

3. Pastelitos – Cuba

Delicious Cuban puff pastries filled with savory and sweet stuffings, such as guava, cream cheese, or minced meat. These sound amazing.

4. Boh Loh Bao – Hong Kong

Also known as “pineapple buns,” these are a Hong Kong staple. They feature a sugar-crusted topping and can be eaten plain or slathered with butter. Yum.

5. Ensaymada – Philippines

View this post on Instagram

Ensaymada aka Filipino brioche is a soft, fluffy, buttery, slightly sweet bun topped with cheese. Another meryenda (afternoon snack) favourite best paired with coffee or tea. No skimping on butter and cheese here! This version is made from fathead dough, it turned out good but it’s not as fluffy as the real thing. I made another version with vital wheat gluten- see next post!☺ PS. Only 2NC per serve ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ ┈ Cheesy Keto Ensaymada Dough: 1.5C shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg 1T-2T sweetener (or to taste) 3/4C almond flour (for this recipe I used half lupin flour and half almond) 1tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 1/8 tsp salt Filling: 2T butter, softened Toppings/Frosting: 4T butter, softened 1C cheddar cheese, grated 2T sweetener (or to taste) Method: 1. Microwave mozzarella cheese in a bowl for 60-90sec. Add egg, stir until incorporated. Add dry ingredients and mix well. 2. Preheat oven to 150°C 3. Divide dough into 8 portions. 4. On a silpat or parchment paper, roll out each piece of dough into a rectangle. Brush a little melted butter over the top of the dough. 5. Roll dough into a log, pinch ends together to seal. Then turn dough seam side down or seam side facing inwards, in the direction where you’ll start twirling. Curl it into a coil. 6. Place on cupcake liners or baking pan. 7. Bake for 15-20min. Note that this will vary from oven to oven 8. Once cooled, add the toppings – butter with sugar and then all the cheese 9. Serve and enjoy . . . . . . . . . #ensaymada #filipinofoodmovement #ketodesserts #ketocommunity #ketolifestyle #fatheaddough #iqs #ketoph #ketoaustralia #ketobaking #ketoyum #ketofoods #lowcarbliving #lowcarblife #ketosisdiet #lchffood #sugarfree #ketobread #ketosweets #ketofoodie #ketorecipes #ketoforlife #ketoideas #ketosnacks #ketogram #ketostrong #ketoapproved #ketojourney #lcif #ketowoe

A brioche-based pastry that is topped with sweet cheese and has a wonderful buttery flavor. Often served with hot chocolate and strawberries.

6. Deblah – Tunisia

Deblah are often made using a pasta roller which results in a delicate, flower-shaped pastry. They are fried and typically topped with sesame seeds and citrus syrup.

7. Koeksister – South Africa

A braided and fried South African treat that is topped with syrup. Similar to American donuts but the process of making them results in a crunchy exterior and a syrup-filled center.

8. Pâté chaud – Vietnam

Vietnamese pies filled with meats, usually pork. They come in different shapes, too!

9. Macheteadas – Honduras

Fried, flat disks that are made using leftover flour tortilla dough. People usually put butter, honey, or syrup over them.

10. Stroopwafel – Netherlands

The translation means “syrup waffle,” so you know it’s gonna be a tasty treat. The top and bottom of the pastry are actually from the same waffle, cut in two. Stroopwafels are usually placed over a hot cup of coffee or tea until they start to melt, so you can enjoy a gooey delight.

11. Cornetto – Italy

The Italian cornetto has less butter and more of a cake-like texture than the French croissant, even though they look very similar. People usually spread jam, butter, or custards on their cornetto for a delicious treat.

12. Gugelhupf – Austria

There is debate about where this pastry originated, but it is one of Austria’s favorite breakfast treats. These yeast-based cakes are usually filled with nuts or fruits (and brandy!) and are dusted with sugar or cocoa. Cake for breakfast. Oh yeah!

I’ll take two of each!

Entire Internet is Disturbed by Revelation That St. Louis Slices Bagels Like Bread

St. Louis, MO is apparently a world unto itself… and not just because they’ve got the world-famous Arch.

The reason we’re talking about the Gateway City today is because of what they do to these delicious circles of boiled and baked bread.

Photo Credit: iStock

Yes, we’re talking about the humble bagel – the chewy, Jewish-American breakfast staple traditionally served sliced in half, smeared with cream cheese and maybe with a bit of lox and capers?

YUM!

But this is apparently what happens to bagels in St. Louis:

Yes. Apparently in St. Louis they treat bagels like they’re loaves of bread. And the internet is NOT having it.

Because why people… why?!?

Does anybody like St. Louis anyway? (Don’t answer that St. Louisians. You don’t count.)

Although it’s probably too late for this idea…

“Bread slicing” bagels almost feels like a hate crime.

But maybe Christina has an answer. Because what is this St. Louis Bread Company and how can we stop them?

Even Panera weighed in and we’re even more confused! Why are you divided about this?

Quick fun fact many people outside of St. Louis don’t know. In St. Louis, Panera is actually called St. Louis Bread Company. And they have bread slicers in every location for just this reason.

Needless to say, employees suffer as a result.

The struggle is real.

Real fucking real.

Nothing is going to solve this predicament. St. Louis bagel eaters are still going to act like god damn monsters, “bread slicing” their bagels from now until eternity.

But none of us has to like it. Or ever go to St. Louis again.
