Gingerbread Waffles

I know gingerbread and peppermint usually prance around kitchens during the holiday season. Not in mine. Those two flavours will be in my kitchen all year round, especially after having made Gingerbread Waffles for breakfast this past weekend.

I love weekends. I love not having my dreams interrupted by the sound of my alarm, I love snuggling into my blankets and avoiding the cold, and I absolutely love sweet breakfast treats. With that in mind, a weekend that starts off with gingerbread waffles? UH-MAZING. The Gingerbread Waffles are easy, tastier than cereal, and will impress anyone and every one you meet. They turned out so delicious that I had no patience to take a worthy picture of the final product. I s'pose you'll just have to make them!
