Sundays are good for so many things.
For example, breaking out the waffle maker…
And making a decadent batch of waffles!
I used a pancake/waffle mix that we’ve had in the cabinet for a while now to make the waffles. They were really simple – only needed to add water, egg, and a tbsp of oil.
But what made these waffles extra special were my toppings: sliced banana, chopped pecans, and a drizzle of light maple syrup. It was my attempt to recreate the similar combo that rocked my socks back in Las Vegas this past August. Not quite as good, but definitely delish!
Jay opted out of today’s toppings…he clearly didn’t know what he was missing.
I enjoyed my waffles with some coffee, of course.
*And for those of you who have asked, my mug is actually from Kirkland’s, which Jay got for me for Christmas. I love Kirkland’s!!
After letting our waffles digest, Jay and I also took advantage of our free time on this Sunday to get our groove on…
We had such a fun time dancing our faces off last weekend that we just had to go buy it. We battled out probably half a dozen songs this morning, and let me tell you…it really works up a sweat! Not to mention the fact that it’s great for providing some laughs.
So since I was already sweaty after dancing, I figured I’d keep the sweat going, and did the Jillian Michael’s 6 Week Six-Pack Abs workout. I’m still sticking with my plan on doing this workout 3 times a week for the next six weeks…we’ll see how it goes!
Time to go shower up so Jay and I can head out for the day!
Question for the Day:
Waffles or Pancakes? Favorite combo??
aubrey @ italktofood says
mmm i’d go for the waffles. I love peanut butter and blackberry syrup on my waffles.
You’re look delicious!
Melissa (MelissaLikesToEat) says
Both! Sometimes I’m in a pancake mood, sometimes a waffle mood! Your waffle toppings look so good….he definitely did not know what he was missing!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Definitely waffles with PB+J! :)
Emma (Sweet Tooth Runner) says
PANCAKES all the way!! Although I only say that because I’ve never had waffles…but hey yours look delish!! Must invest in a waffle iron soon! :D
Olivia says
I lovvvve waffles! (and pancakes!) My favorite combo is just straight up chocolate chips with butter spread into each little hole:) So So So yummy! ahh, I want waffles now! :)
Colleen @ The Lunchbox Diaries says
I love both – but waffles win in the end. Yours looked great!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
Waffles. :) I love them with PB and jam!
Kristen @ That Hoosier Girl says
Waffles all the way!!! They hold more “stuff” in their little waffley holes that I love :)
Christina @ Food.Fun.Fabulous. says
I really want to get that Just Dance game! I saw it at the mall yesterday but didn’t want to spend the money :(
Melissa says
I’m a pancake girl, but your waffles are making me hesitate! I can’t believe Jay passed on the toppings. He is clearly a madman!
Tracy @ Commit To Fit says
I love them both, with bananas! I have to get Just Dance, it is so much fun :)
Stacie says
Mmm I am not sure I can choose! Waffles are great because they have those little crispy crevices for the syrup to get trapped in, but pancakes like little sponges with the syrup. It’s a tie! Either way- through some chocolate chips in and I’m a happy girl!
Alexa @ Simple Eats says
Pancakes, if they’re pumpkin or have chocolate chips in them…yummm
But I do love a good Belgian waffle with extra whipped cream!
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
The toppings make all the difference in the world!!
I don’t think I could pick between waffles or pancakes–both are delish!
Emma says
ooooh waffles! aint had them in ages tho!
Cara says
I am more of a pancake girl…. blueberry pancake girl. Those waffles look amazing! Great choices on the toppings!
Karen says
I love both but I would probably choose waffles over pancakes. I love how the crevices on waffles can fill up with the wonderful toppings!
Charlie says
I love both, but I do prefer waffles ;). I mostly go for pancakes at home & waffles when I eat out :).
