Biscoff Crusted Chicken + Waffles

I used to write a lot about my personal life on this blog. I wanted my readers to get to know me, understand my humor, my wit and my culinary expertise. In the past, I've mentioned in passing that my marriage ended (close to 7 years ago now, wow!), that my grandma (the reason I cook) passed away and I think in recent times I've gotten away from personal things like that. I write about my professional life and what I'm doing, but not much about how:

I watch Gilmore Girls EVERY DAY (and I have season 2 on my laptop so that when I travel, I have no excuse to be without--I've seen every episode no less than 16 times) and I'm completely obsessed with it, The Mindy Project, Scandal and Cutthroat Kitchen.

I'm the go-to lady whenever anyone has a cooking or culinary question. I rarely get invited to dinner because people think I'll turn up my nose at their "regular food" and people are shocked to find out that I really, really enjoy the overcooked, burnt burgers at Cook-Out and I think K & W has the best macaroni and cheese on the planet.

I'm very much a people person and the words "social butterfly" are a poor description of how I can work a room and make a deep, personal connection with everyone before I leave but I really prefer to have one-on-one conversations and alone time with people I care about. I have very hermetical private life at home. Once I take off my bra, that's it. I'm not leaving again unless I have to!

I hardly ever workout. I should, but I don't. I might go to one yoga class a month or do a 20-mile bike ride and then I pat myself on the back for doing so much exercise at one time and then accidentally on purpose forget I own running shoes for the next three to five months.

I pretty much just told you all of that because I've felt as if I've lost my voice a little. I've been so busy building my brand, travelling and completing professional goals, I've let my voice slide a little. No more! It's about time for me to take my yearly hiatus, but I want to share some really solid recipes before that happens. This next recipe is pretty $%&*ing solid. Ashford & Simpson solid.

Since I've been travelling a lot, I've been collecting those packages of Biscoff cookies that Delta Airlines gives to you. Well, they don't give you anything... you've paid for them. I always ask for 2 and if the flight is long enough for a second service? I ask for two more. I'm sure I could have purchased a package from biscoff.com, but what's the fun in that?

And speaking of fun: Biscoff, speculoos and cookie butter are the "new" Nutella that everyone is going crazy over. Let's start a trend with chicken & waffles too, okay?
