So many delicious meals to share with you this weekend! I’ve got lunch bowls you’re definitely going to want to recreate and four dinners cooked by my dad. Cake and ice cream to round it all out.

Whatever it is, I am fully here for it and happy to spread more waffle love with this quick recipe. Whether for breakfast, dessert (maybe with a scoop of your favorite ice cream?) or as an afternoon treat, they’re...
