Years ago, there was an advertising slogan for a popular breakfast cereal that suggested breakfast is the meal of champions. So I guess it works out that breakfast is my favorite meal.
Many people have dinner out for special celebrations. That’s okay and good; however, if we are celebrating me, take me to breakfast!
Going out for breakfast can be a bit of a problem for us now. It’s not very convenient when you live so far away from everything. I often miss the Saturday mornings we would wake up late, get dressed and head out to the Coffee Cup, Another Broken Egg, or Waffle House.
Who wants to spend their weekends waking at the crack of dawn, cooking a delicious breakfast, and then cleaning up the mess? Not me!! However, these waffles are perfect for a lazy weekend. Not only are they are yummylicious, but they are also so, so easy!! I could eat these every day, but I won’t. Treat yourself and your family to the breakfast of champions this weekend!
