Words my kids love to hear: I’m making waffles for dinner! Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite, and for some reason I don’t get bogged down at the idea of cooking when it’s waffle night because they are so easy to make! Add some fruit, and maybe yogurt and you’ve got yourself an easy, slightly nutritious dinner. Sometimes that’s all you can hope for.

The waffle maker I’m using was a wedding gift, and I love it! It’s simple to use, no bells and whistles. It’s lasted for 17 years now, and no signs of age. It’s Black & Decker so you know it’s quality! (As an Amazon Affiliate, I may get a small commission if you click and purchase any item I link to. I appreciate your support!)

I use a 1 cup measuring cup to add to waffle iron. I also pull the waffle slightly before the built-in light comes on as I like my waffles a little less done.
