Waffles!

Who doesn't like waffles? I mean really, those adorable little holes that suck up whatever yummy goodness you put on them? I remember loving to pop them in the toaster and gobble them up as soon as they popped. It wasn't until I was older that I realized waffles came from an appliance other than the toaster! Not long after I was married I purchased a waffle iron. I used it a few times with a simple box mix, and they were ok, but not great. I would probably pull out the waffle iron once a year. But it was handy to have around.

5 years ago I gave birth to a beautiful son with peanut and tree nut allergies. As a result, processed food and box mixes have been removed from my pantry. I started working to find the best recipes for many items. Our family loves Brinner (breakfast for dinner), we make waffles or pancakes, bacon, sausage, fried potatos, fruit, and orange juice and end the day with a bang! There are many great recipes out there, but the other essential part of the recipe for me was simplicity. I started with a simple recipe and I combined the flavors I use in my angel food cake, almond and vanilla, to make a waffle that tastes good even plain. These make a lovely, flavorful waffle that are great topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Brinner is served!
