Bulk Freezer Waffles ~ Kid Friendly Recipe

Waffles! They have got to be one of our all time favorite. I use to buy the frozen  kind years ago. I finally got it together and got my bootay in the kitchen for a hour or so to premake homemade waffles in bulk. This recipe was found on food.com. I LOVE IT! I bulked the recipe after trying my adapted version and been making them ever since. These babies will supply my family of seven, with a weeks worth of the most delicious tasting waffles- if I do say so myself.

I get such a high going straight to my freezer and grabbing a package of waffles that I made. I even skip back to the kitchen- singing no less. Plus, they aren’t packed full of preservatives, high fructose or names you can’t pronounce on the ingredient list. I admit, I’ve become the high fructose/preservative Nazi around these parts- along with some other ingredient/food convictions.

Over the last six months or so, we’ve seen a HUGE change in one of our boys just by changing his diet. I think I’ve mentioned that- maybe in another post??? (Please forgive me, I have five kids that suck the brain cells out of me at times.) I won’t get into the diet right now, it makes my blood pressure go up thinking about the junk in certain products I’ve allowed him and our family to eat over the years. Plus the conviction I’ve had about our food industry turns me into a little green monster…. nuff’ said. I’ll touch on these convictions when I’m feeling a bit more feisty.

Let’s jump off this bunny trail and back onto the waffle trail, cause I LOVES me the waffle trail!

I love love love the texture of these waffles. They’re so light and crispy. I personally think they’re even better after they’ve been frozen and reheated in the toaster. Could that actually happen?! Coach, loves his with peanut butter and organic strawberry spread. I’m a purest at heart and stick with 100% organic maple syrup with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. OH- I can’t forget the buttah! And sometimes, when I’m all alone with my stretchy pants on, I top these babies with lots of REAL whip cream, strawberries- and of course powdered sugar. Meohmy! I gotta have one right now!
