How was your Christmas yesterday? I hope it was Happy! Ours was:) We are in Utah staying with my parents. Their home is literally bursting with family! It is a very merry place right now! All the children are in heaven, getting to play all day with little cousins and sleep in sleeping bags each night! How exciting! It has been so fun to be all together again, chatting, eating our Mom’s home cooking, playing games, holding each others babies, etc! I am looking forward to more of the same this next week! What are your plans for this lovely week between Christmas and New Years? Well, if you are looking for a yummy holiday-ish recipe for your family, I would highly recommend this one!
I made these waffles on a cold and blustery night a couple of weeks ago and they were perfect! So tasty for a cozy night at home and I loved the way they made my home smell! What a delicious dinner they made. If you are fans of gingerbread, you will LOVE these waffles. Such a fun recipe for this time of year!

We like these with Connor’s Bubbly Syrup ( Buttermilk syrup). And they are amazing with freshly whipped cream if you have any:)
OK, I am sure this recipe is fabulous, as all your recipes are, but I just loved that picture- such a darling plate and waffle iron design! I want one of those! 🙂

Fantastic recipe! We made these for breakfast with whipped cream, but it tasted like dessert. I even made them with fresh ground white/wheat flour and decreased the butter and sugar. Amazing! Thank you!

Glad you had/are having a Merry Christmas with your family! Sounds so fun. That’s one thing I really miss is getting to be with my family for Christmas/Holidays.
These waffles sound great! Since we had turkey for Thanksgiving and hams are SO expensive here…I made the recipe for “Chicken A La King” that I found here on y’all’s blog for our Christmas dinner. It was Delish and we all enjoyed it! =)
Have a super 2012!
