I certainly had a case of the breakfast blues yesterday. I just acquired a Belgian waffle iron from my sister (score!), so naturally, the only way to cure my breakfast blues is to make some waffles for dinner. Of course, no dinner is complete without some vegetables. Eat 5 a day, right? And look, every nook, pocket, divot, syrup holder, dimple (whatever you like to call the indentations of a waffle) is filled with vegetables! The waffle experience cannot be complete without a bit of maple syrup, even if the waffles are savory. This was the first time I took an action shot in my photos! I don’t know about you, but looking at that stream of maple syrup cascading down each waffle pocket sure makes my mouth water!
