My New Toy

Breakfast is always a big deal around our house. Probably more for me than my kids, but I feel it is very important to send them to school with a healthy breakfast and not sugary foods like cereal, pop tarts, donuts, etc. So I bought me a new toy. It's a waffle - sandwich- pizzelle maker and it works wonderfully. I love the fact that I can cook omelets with the sandwich trays, along with grill cheese sandwiches. The waffle trays are nice and thick so homemade waffles are on the breakfast menu at least twice a week. We have been experimenting with different waffle batters and have all fallen in love with one that includes cinnamon. Yum! I still need to buy some fresh blueberries and add them to the batter...or maybe some chopped pecans!

Some of my girlsfriends at work have been kidding with me since I do get up and make breakfast every morning...except on weekends. But honestly, it only takes about 5 minutes with my new gadget so it's not a time consuming job.

DH also helps in making breakfast when he works nights since he's just getting home when it is time to cook breakfast. He is the king of omelets, the old fashion way, along with scrambled eggs.
