How I Celebrated

Alright, we have the gluten free Kashi oatmeal and flax seed waffles going on and Nate went all out preparing some awesome nut syrup. It was like pecan pie! So delicious. He cracked open all those nuts from Christmas, and made enough syrup to cover all the waffles! Kudos.

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  Apples are a go (no added sugar). This banana nut oatmeal waffle recipe uses the sweetness of bananas, cinnamon and vanilla to trick you into feeling you are eating something extra sweet.

• Gluten Free

  Here are some gluten free waffles (don't forget to add some nuts, well actually I guess the almond milk counts.)

• Vegetarian

  Yes and yes

History

Punchbowl on Johnny Appleseed and Oatmeal Nut Waffles
Johnny Appleseed is one of the few American folk tale heroes or legends that I know. Smart guy. I know I always wanted to have a fruit tree as a kid. Mostly tropical fruit trees though. I loved mango and rarely got to eat it. I guess apples are cool. I went to an orchard once. It opened my eyes to all the bazillion different kinds of apples there are. Fujis are still the best.

Merchandise

Do they make waffle makers with changeable/ customizable face plates? They should. That way you would have to choose only ONE cool waffle maker to have.
