A fantastic recipe. Even my husband who usually has no opinion on food really liked it. For the waffles, I used whole wheat flour instead of white and added 1/4 cup of ground flax seed- we try to be as healthy as possible. I also added garlic powder and shredded mozzarella to the batter. You can put many things over these waffles. Next time, I'll try a chicken recipe.

Yummy! Similar to chili with cornbread, but the waffles are a nice change. I may try adding a bit more sugar to the waffles next time as my family likes their cornbread on the sweeter side and would have probably enjoyed the waffles more had they been sweeter. I served this with sour cream, shredded cheddar, chopped onions and olives as garnish and it is a keeper.

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
