During a lunch date recently, a new friend and I were discussing breakfast. As often happens with me, the conversation turned to food. When she started describing what a hearty breakfast eater she is, I began liking her even more. She explained that she always starts with a few frozen waffles, which serve as the blank canvas for her breakfast. Shortly thereafter, I brought home a box of Nutrigrain Eggo waffles and began producing my own breakfast masterpieces.
I am hooked! Almost anything works for breakfast with waffles as the foundation. Pictured above is my current favorite. One waffle is brushed with peanut butter and drizzled with pure Vermont maple syrup (a great combo – don’t wrinkle your nose until you have tried it!). The other is topped with a dollup of Trader Joe’s Vanana yogurt (banana and vanilla flavor), Bare Naked banana granola and fresh banana slices.
Just writing about my breakfast canvas makes me want to bypass dinner tonight, go to bed and wake up to my morning artwork…
