My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
Oh. My. Goodness.
Forget what you were planning to make for dinner tonight. Pasta? Steak? This is better.
Chicken and waffles?? THIS IS BETTER.
We're taking "breakfast for dinner" to the next level. The savory level.
Not only is this recipe scrumptious, these chili-covered cornmeal waffles seem like the kind of meal that you slaved over all day long, though they're actually quick and easy. Sexy Nerd is impressed whenever he comes home to this dinner.
Sucker.
Start by making the chili, which needs to simmer.

I'd say forget the waffles and just go crazy eating this gorgeous chili, but that would be like saying to skip the frosting on a cake. They're good on their own but they make each other even better.
Bonus points for heart-shaped waffles, you adorable chef.
When your chili has simmered at least 45 minutes and you're ready to eat, it's time to make the cornmeal waffles.
How to Make Cornmeal Waffles
Take your favorite regular waffle recipe. Substitute half the flour with cornmeal and throw in a sprinkle of seasoned salt, such as Season All.
If using a mix, like Bisquick, substitute half the mix with cornmeal.
When cooking, resist the urge to impatiently pull them from the waffle iron early. I know you want to eat them right now, but they taste best when they're nice and crispy.
Now the fun part.
On top of your waffle, place slices of cheese, such as Kraft singles, in a single layer. Top with hot chili, which will create a surprise deposit of cheesy goodness.
Amazing, right? It gets even better. After you've topped your waffle with chili...
...smother it with gobs of shredded cheese! We like to indulge around here.

Sexy Nerd says to heck with my breakfast for dinner mentality. He requests to have this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.
