This fall has been filled with delicious new meals, and this is one of them! The recipe makes enough for about 4-6 meals, so I was lucky to get to bring leftovers with me to school for the days following. Yum! My usual school lunch is a toss between fresh fruit or a big salad (or both), so I was excited to have a warm and savory lunch for a few days.

These waffles are hearty and … [Read more...]
