What does this leave for you to eat? Lettuce? Nothing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, there was someone else wondering the same thing when she first got braces! Brenda Waterman, 13, decided she was going to find a way to have her cake and eat it too, so she created a variety of \u201cbraces-friendly\u201d recipes that allow you to enjoy your favorite treats without interfering with your orthodontic care! Her cookbook,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Braces-Cookbook-Pamela-Waterman-Brenda\/dp\/0977492206\/sr=8-1\/qid=1166634898?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books\">\u201cThe Braces Cookbook: Recipes you (and your Orthodontist) will Love,\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;gives patients a variety of delicious recipes, safe to eat with braces; plus additional tips and advice for packing lunches, what to eat at parties, and braces-friendly restaurant dishes! There\u2019s even a section with tips for dealing with the soreness that can occur when your braces or appliance are adjusted. Enjoy the foods you love \u2013 even with braces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a delicious, sneak peek recipe from \u201cThe Braces Cookbook:\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wonderful Waffles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forget the recipe that came with your waffle iron \u2013 this recipe will redefine fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The secret to delicious waffles is letting the batter \u201csit\u201d for five minutes before pouring into the waffle iron. Top cooked waffles with syrup, jam, fresh fruit or even whip cream. Makes about 5 servings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat your waffle iron according to the directions. You may want to lightly spray it with vegetable oil before heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"listing\"><li> 3 cups flour<\/li><li>2 Tbl + 2 tsp baking powder<\/li><li> 1 tsp salt<\/li><li> 2 Tbl sugar<\/li><li> 4 cups milk<\/li><li> 4 eggs<\/li><li>1\/2 cup vegetable oil <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a large bowl, whisk (or use electric mixer on low) together all ingredients. Let batter sit for about five minutes to activate the baking powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When waffle iron is ready, pour about 1\/3 cup of batter onto each of the four squares (experiment with your iron \u2013 you don\u2019t want the batter overflowing). Gently close the cover and set your timer as the manufacturer suggests. Do not lift the cover while they bake. When done, carefully lift one edge with a flat spatula and pull the waffle away from the iron. Keep waffles warm on a plate under a clean dishtowel while the others bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Your friends at the&nbsp;practice of Dr. Paul J.
