And in the Morning, I'm Makin' WAFFLES!

True story:  the first time I can remember wanting a KitchenAid stand mixer was when I was about 12.  My sister and I used to watch the Frugal Gourmet and I wanted to BE Martha Stewart, and they both had stand mixers so I SHOULD TOO!

For my birthday last year, the BF surprised (shocked, awed) me with MY VERY OWN STAND MIXER.  I was so stinkin' excited, and I still get a little tinge of joy every time I look at it.  Knowing how much I loved my new mixer, my mama got me the KitchenAid Best-Loved Recipes cookbook for Christmas last year.  Another true story:  I hadn't used it until Sunday, when I whipped up the Crispy Waffles.



Final true story:  I wish these waffles had been a little easier to whip up.  They required a washing of my mixer bowl mid-preparation, and I like to avoid that process at all costs.  However, when my waffles ended up looking like this:



My whining over mid-prep clean-up ceased.  Amazing waffles, peeps.  UH-MA-ZING.

Wait!  One more true story!  My love for all things shoe-related doesn't extend exclusively to uber expensive beauties.

Target.

$20.98.


Go figure.
