These were so good and pretty easy to make! I got started on the recipe and realized that I had forgotten to pick up a lemon at the store, so, I replaced some of the milk with lemon juice (1.5 cup milk, 3/4 cup juice). For serving, I buttered the waffles, drizzled Lemon Sauce (recipe #74942) over the top, and then drizzled maple syrup over that-it was delicious! Thanks for a great recipe, C.L.!

This was very good although, I adapted it a little bit. I added the juice of the lemon as one other person suggested. I also decreased the eggs to 2 and substituted 1/4 C. whole wheat flour + 2 regular T of flour because I found it a little runny. In addition to that I added 3T sugar and placed blueberries over the batter before closing the waffle iron. Very, Very, Good!!!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
