Happy New Year & Waffles!

This...
has kept me mostly out of the kitchen for the last two weeks.  The foot surgery has been a long time coming, but it had to be done.  Unfortunately, it came right in the middle of our elimination diet.  Fortunately, Grandma was willing to come and adhere to the new kitchen regiment.  I stocked the freezer with the new bread and the pantry with our new staples.  But, this morning I felt good enough to whip up a quick breakfast and the kids had been begging for waffles for several weeks now.  The problem was, I couldn't find a recipe that would work, even as a base that I could change up.  However, this morning, I found exactly that.  

It was heaven sent.  It did not taste like wheat, but it was oh so good!  They were perfectly crisp and super easy to make. 

YUM!

Buckwheat Groats & Oats Waffles

A note of full disclosure.  My husband and I own a specialty kitchen store, The Kitchen Corner, and I did link to our website with the blender link.  Just felt like I needed to let you know!
