This vermicelli soup is called "fideo" or "sopa seca" (dry soup) and is eaten all over Mexico. It is inexpensive and easy to make. This can be comforting when sick, but it is also a great side dish with any kind of meat, poultry, or fish. To make it soupier you can add vegetable broth to taste.

Chaffles with Almond Flour
This chaffle recipe uses almond flour to create a more traditional waffle texture and help get rid of any eggy taste. These cheesy waffles are an overnight sensation in the low-carb/keto world. Seriously, try them, they're delicious! I use an inexpensive mini waffle maker (such as Dash Mini Maker Waffle) which produces perfect 4-inch chaffles. So many ways to use chaffles, the sky's the limit!
