Waffles

I used to be an Eggo kind of gal.  In my head, making waffles was just too hard, eventhough I had a waffle iron (a wedding gift, circa 1995) hiding in a cabinet somewhere.   As I began to embrace the ideas that home made anything was better and cheaper I hunted down and wiped the dust off that old waffle iron.  I turned to my trusty, never let me down Southern Living Ultimate Cookbook and made my first batch of waffles.  I haven't looked at an Eggo box since.  These are delish and so easy.
