.....and The Hubster. I love him enough to do THIS to his waffles. I mean, let's be real here: marriage is hard work in order for it to be successful, and the only extra time this took was about a minute longer to use a cookie cutter to cut them out. That's not hard work. That's love, if you'll pardon the cliché. I used a mold for the egg and fixed the plate up all purty-like and he loved it! And he loves me. And I'm ever-so-grateful. Grateful enough to share my vanilla waffle recipe with you!! It's fast and easy, and you'll love them! (And maybe you'll learn to love me, too.)

VANILLA WAFFLES

2 cups flour

1 1/2 tbs baking powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

2 tbs sugar

2 eggs, beaten

2 tsp vanilla

1-1/2 cups milk

1/4 cup canola oil (or other medium-to-high heat oil)

Get your waffle iron going by preheating it while you make your batter. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a hole in the center of your dry ingredients and and add the eggs, vanilla and milk. Stir like a crazy person until well-combined, though your batter may be just a tad lumpy. Add the oil to your batter and stir again. Using a ladle, pour desired amount of waffle batter onto your preheated waffle iron, and cook until desired brown-ness (is that a word?).

NOTES: Since carbs, sugar, and flour are a treat in this house, I at least use all-organic ingredients, including the oil, but this is not a necessity in order for the waffle to taste crazy-amazy. #LoveYou
