What a week! We had a 4 day work week, but getting back into the swing of things felt like it was the longest week ever. Plus I had car trouble....UGH. Let's hope that when I get my car back on Monday that will be the end of the drama.
Since I have no car, Brendan has been my chauffeur for most of the week. I absolutely hate driving, so it's not the worst thing for me....but I need my freedom to go to Target without supervision. :)
After making the more classic waffles with syrup last weekend, I was dreaming up something a little more savory for this week....and behold, the bacon cheddar waffles were born. If you do not eat cheese, just leave it out - they will still be delicious! Add a little hot sauce on top for an extra kick, and I am sure you will be satisfied with this savory brunch.
Again, you can half the recipe, but they freeze great and that saves time during the workweek when you need breakfast fast!
Just look at how delicious that is.....
Go on....get your waffle on!
