Got a New Waffle Iron!


My son loves waffles and the cost of buying them at the store really adds up so decided to buy a waffle iron. I made batch after batch, loving the fact that I was making them myself. But it occurred to me that although they were homemade, they didn't contain nearly the amount of fiber and protein as the brand I was purchasing at the grocery store. After a few weeks, I noticed that I wasn't making as many waffles as I thought I would. I had a plan to spend a Saturday morning a month busting out a ton of waffles and then freezing them. It didn't happen and I never found the motivation or encouragement to spike the waffle batter with blueberries, strawberries or flax seed (all in my original plan). So back to the store I went...to return the waffle maker. I don't consider the experience a failure. I just figured out that I'm not the waffle queen.
