Happy New Year! Maybe next year I will be more organized and I won't vanish from posting for 2 weeks during my time off.
It feels like we blinked and Christmas came and went....way too fast. We spent time in New York with Brendan's family, had my college bff's over for our yearly celebration, had my family over for a late Christmas celebration, did some reorganizing and rang in the new year with our two sweet pups. This was our FOURTH new years eve together! It's hard to believe how quickly the time has gone.
Now it's back to the real world tomorrow.....so I thought this morning would be the perfect time to use my new waffle iron! I see lots of waffle meals in my future....sweet, savory, breakfast, brunch and dinner....get ready!
When you are changing you eating to gluten or grain free you CRAVE anything that will taste normal and have the right texture. We had many failed attempts at pancakes and waffles....but I think that you could fool anyone with this recipe! The whipped egg whites give these waffles the light inside with the perfect crust.
This recipe made about 12 triangles, so you can cut the recipe in half or freeze the extras for a morning when you need a quick breakfast!

1. Preheat your waffle iron.
2. Separate your eggs, begin whisking your egg whites in the mixer until they form stiff peaks.
