The All-Waffle Diet

I got a waffle maker for my birthday. Do you think I can make a case for waffles as the ultimate diet food? They can totally be healthy:


Whole Grain waffles (grains)

Chocolate waffles (chocolate = antioxidants)

Pumpkin waffles (vegetable)

Blueberry waffles (fruit)

Waffles & ice cream (dairy)

Maple syrup (ummm... well, maple is from nature, that has to count for something!)


Okay, fine, then, I won't have them every day. Instead I'll write a poem.

  Ode to my Waffle Iron

Oh, waffle iron! You make me
the most Beautiful Breakfast

warm waffles
soaking up warm syrup.
Maple.

I love you,
dear waffle iron.

I will eat your creations.
Happily.
With a fork.




Beautiful

I love you, waffles!

Oh, Sammy! Get thee to a bed-ery!

Good night, John Boy!

    Mmmmm...I bought a waffle iron not too long ago because I was sick of giving my kids the icky frozen kind (Trader Joe's waffles excluded). They are delicious, although rather labor intensive.

    Okay, now I totally want a waffle iron!

    And I think you could certainly make a case for an all waffle diet - heck I made pumpkin pancakes the other day and Jonas kept calling them "breakfast cookies" - but they were whole grain low sugar high fiber high super yummy breakfast cookies!

    Man, that post was sooo much funnier late last night when I was half asleep! I am such a nerd!

    Becky, I am a big fan of breakfast cookies! I've always believed oatmeal raisin cookies are meant to be breakfast!
