This is Digby Pancake. But today, you can call me Digby Waffles. Why? Everyone needs to change it up now and then!

Yesterday, the persons got to make Woof Woof Waffles in the Great American Cookoff with Camping World. And you would have thought they would have made pancakes. But nope, they made Woof Woof Waffles for the judges.

They said they had to step up their game, whatever that meant. Because apparently, if we win the competition which goes on next week too, we can win some pretty cool stuff for one of our friends. You.

But no matter what, it was such great fun to make those Woof Woof Waffles.

And I might have woofed woofed while the judges were eating them, just to make sure that they knew how good they were.

If you were cooking breakfast for judges, what would you make? What would be a dish that is close to your heart and your belly?

I am not so sure that I like competition. Because I don’t like anyone to be sad. Not even a pancake.

I don’t like anyone to be in second place.  Or third place. Or fourth place.  You know what I mean. But when everyone is competing to be better individually, I think that makes it a little easier.

Life is all about challenge, isn’t it?  You may think that you are really good at something. But we can all learn from each other! And mixing it up is always a good thing. We can take little parts from each other and make the whole world a better place.And the persons can take a little sip of a mimosa…you never know what you’re missing until you try something new.

Did you watch? Tell us how we can do better next week!

2 Traveling Dogs MoDat Mimosas

Ingredients

8-12 Mandarin oranges chilled. Can also mix types of mandarin oranges like Sumo and Clementine.
2-4 Blood or Raspberry oranges chilled
1 pint strawberries (room temp cause they taste better that way)
1 bottle of Prosecco (you guessed it…CHILLED)

Instructions for drink:
Wash oranges. They dirty.
Juice the different oranges and add together. You will get more juice if the oranges are warm. But then you would have to chill the juice, and I know you can’t wait that long for this drink. Besides, the leftover pulp with its juice is favoloso! Strain to remove pulp and any seeds. Wash strawberries and remove the stems. (hulling, it’s called). Add strawberries and orange juice to Nutribullet. Blend or puree until happy. (We’re not the boss of you).
Pour prosecco into (yep…chilled) Champagne flutes at a 45 degree angle until about half filled. More or less depending on what type of day you plan to have.
Why pour at a 45 degree angle? You lose less bubbles. You so silly!
Top with that delizioso juice you just made…you flavor wizard, you.
After it fizzles down a bit, hit it again with that Prosecco. Full glass=less thirsty.
Garnish with strawberry and orange slice.
Add your lips to the glass until empty and then go back for some MoDat Mimosa!
