Looter Recipe: Banana and BLUTH-berry Chicken & Waffles!

May 7th, 2018 Amanda Vinson DIY, Looter Love, Recipes

They’re not exactly #ROLEMODELS, but we’re celebrating them this month anyway! May’s Loot Crate features everyone favorite “functional” family, from hit sitcom TV show, Arrested Development.

To celebrate the a formerly wealthy and habitually insane Bluth family, I cooked up a brunch recipe PERFECT for any model home dining room.

(Arrested Development)

The hilarious Bluth family hijinks that appear throughout the show, inspired to make this recipe!

First up, the ever famous banana stand. These frozen treats are a repeating joke throughout the series and made for the perfect base for my waffle batter!

(Arrested Development)

Nothing says “Arrested Development” like “never nude.” Tobias Fünke, the husband of Lindsay Bluth Fünke and the father of Maeby Fünke, was my second inspiration for this dish!

From his obsession with joining the Blue Man Group, to his VERY revealing jean shorts, the color blue is a recurring theme surrounding Tobias’ character.

What better way to incorporate this detail than through adding blueberries (er… BLUTHberries) into my waffle batter!

(Arrested Development)

You can’t have waffles without chicken. I mean, you CAN… but you’re doing it wrong. Very wrong. Chicken dance wrong.

Speaking of chicken dance… the Bluth family’s BUTCHERING (pun intended) of the children mocking game “Chicken” is one of the funniest long-running jokes on Arrested Development.

Let’s all take this moment to watch a montage of chicken-dance attempts by the Bluth family.

No matter how you do the “chicken dance,” adding a side of crispy fried chicken takes this recipe to the next level! Salty and sweet? That flavor combination makes us, “Caw! Ca-caw! Ca-caw! Ca-caw!”

(Arrested Development)

Alright, alright. Enough messing around. Let’s get cooking! Who are we kidding? That’s the Bluth family way.
