Jalapeno Cornbread Waffles
"These are a delicious savory waffle that can be used as a bed for your favorite chili or meat gravy. They also make a mean sandwich when split in half. The recipe has the instructions for both gluten free and regular. Leftovers can be stored in a sealed plastic bag and toasted as needed."

What great waffles Paula. I made them as written but substituted fresh cilantro for the cumin, (I find its flavor too strong for me) used all purpose flour, and normal buttermilk. What a great recipe, the waffles are light and tender, with a nice crispy outside. Lots of great flavors in these babies. I served them with homemade strawberry lemon syrup for a real treat. Thank you for sharing your recipes, I will be making these often. Kudos for making it into my Favorites for 2014. Made for Spring Pac 2014. -
Made for breakfast. No xanthan gum. Mozzerella all I had so used instead of sharp. Only corn I had was frozen. OK for breakfast, I heated a bit of chili and these are MUCH better as intended as a savory. Nice texture and flavor. Cheddar will be better. -
Corn is out of season now so I used frozen corn (thawed) in place of corn on the cob. Other than that, I made the recipe as written. This makes a wonder change of pace from the usual cornbread. The flavor was delicious and it made the perfect bread choice to accompany bean soup. Made for November 2011 Aus/NZ Swap.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
