honey vanilla waffles

We have been on a honey kick for a while here, which was recently refueled by a trip to see “Winnie The Pooh” in the theatre. I don’t see how anyone can watch Pooh and not crave honey. He’s just so passionate about it.

Speaking of passion… I am going to make some sort of cake or cupcake this week. I got totally inspired by my old BFF who just started a little cupcake biz where she lives. Ruby Cakes. I haven’t made cupcakes in a long long time. To be honest, it’s been too damn hot. But, now my cupcake craving is overriding the stifling heat.

I realize that some of y’all may not have a waffle maker. Same way I don’t have an ice cream maker. I guess we need to shop, huh?

Or,hit up yard sales. Three things you always see at yard sales: waffle irons, ice cream makers and fondue pots.

I have a fondue pot. I need to use it, too.

I made honey-butter-vanilla syrup to go on top.

Melted butter, honey and vanilla. Oh yeah…mmmmm.
