And the waffle itself, is a nothing more than Pilsbury Crescents waffled. Yes, I did, and it’s awesome! I may never make waffles from scratch again. Okay, I’m exaggerating, but seriously you need to try this. It’s so good.

I can’t say everything  I make has the kids running to the table, but what I do know is when it’s a waffle recipe, everyone is seated without a second dinner call.

In fact, when it’s a waffle dinner, we end up talking about who has the best idea for the next waffle recipe. If I left it up to Cole, half the pantry would end up in the waffle iron. Something he calls a “suicide waffle”, it’s an idea that comes from making suicide drinks. If you aren’t familiar with that, it’s simply a putting every fountain drink in one cup. So yeah—sucide waffles—ewww, no!
