Breakfast
Boo had a Waffle House addiction and dared me to come up with waffles that could outdo them. It took me a couple of tries, but I finally constructed a recipe that he admitted was superior to his favorite "bought" restaurant meal.
Granny Mae Wisdom--First two years you'll want to eat 'em up. After that, you'll wish you had.
As with everything, my boys can never agree on how they like their food. Ian prefers his waffles with chocolate chips so I usually spoon his into a smaller bowl to put the chips in before I cook them. Meanwhile Madaug likes his with fruit, so I top that after cooking or spoon into a bowl to add crushed bananas or strawberries to the basic batter recipe. Get creative! Never be afraid to experiment!
