We Leggo Our Eggos!

Lately I've been looking for ways to cut out processed foods, so I decided to take the plunge and buy a waffle maker. I can't believe I've waited so long to do this!  There is no way to know how much money I've spent on Eggo waffles.  My kids are totally addicted! I'd already found several waffle recipes that I couldn't wait to try.  And that Macy's gift card that's been burning a whole in my wallet since Christmas, well it paid for my new little appliance!  My new little appliance that bakes the yummiest waffles you ever did taste!  I was concerned that my kids would say, "Ew, these don't taste like our regular waffles!"  But they didn't!  They loved them!  I am beyond excited!  Can you tell?  Since my kids aren't always thrilled with new foods, I decided to go with the classic waffle maker instead of the Belgian waffle maker.  The classic one makes waffles that more closely resemble those disgusting frozen things they're used to eating.  I'll have to write a post on some of our other food changes, but I'll save that for another day.  Right now I'm basking in the success of my homemade waffles!  Oh, and here's a link to the recipe I used.  Dee-lish.



Loving my new waffle maker!

They turned out beautiful!

Passed the taste test of my biggest food critic!

This guy likes them also!  Check out his hair!
I'm not sure why I didn't get a picture of Allie eating the waffle.  But she approved of them too!  The best part is that I know exactly what my kids are eating.  Gotta love it!  But my sincere apologies to Eggo.  I fear they may go out of business now that we won't be buying their Chocolate Chip waffles anymore!

Hey I "leggo our eggos" too back in August! It's sooooo much cheaper!! I normally make a HUGE batch and freeze them. That way they are made and can pop them out when needed!! I"m going to check out your recipe!!
