Good afternoon!
I realize it is many ticks past the breakfast hour, but Wednesday isn’t over yet, which means it is 100% acceptable to still be talking about waffles. It’s no surprise I l.o.v.e. me a good waffle, whether Belgian or crispy, homemade or from the freezer… I’m their #1 fan. Since the beginning of this blog’s history, there have been numerous sightings of frozen waffles. There have also been a handful homemade creations seen, but those will have to wait for Waffle Wednesday Part II.
As the Nutrition Nut on the run, frozen waffles are extremely convenient for mornings when I’m dashing to class. Yet, they serve other purpose as well — for example, when I’m tired of oatmeal (yeah, right!), or on a weekend when my laziness overrides my inner chef.
Most of my diet is comprised of fresh ingredients, as I try to steer clear from preservative-packed frozen foods; yet, I have no guilt when it comes to frozen waffles. That being said, I do buy Van’s all-natural, multigrain, organic versions. [They have some new ones out!]
Without further adieu, a flash from my freezer’s past:
Hmmm… I wonder what could possibly be my favorite waffle topping? Would you say bananas!? However, I have topped my waffles with anything from Greek yogurt and pears to banana scramble-stuffed sandwiches.
Truth: I did not celebrate Waffle Wednesday today =/ Did you?
- What are staples in your freezer? Bananas. Bread. Butter. Chocolate Chips. Nuts.
- Waffles or Pancakes? Waffles, though I can never pass up my mama’s Grainy Pancakes.
Wishing you a happy & healthy Hump Day!

Oh that is a TOUGH question…I think waffles are calling my name right now but ask me next week I might say pancakes! I go in stages!!! :)
yummy yummy waffles! I like waffles from the box, but pancakes from scratch :) …and when I do have waffles from the box, I eat Van’s too!
In my freezer always = waffles, bananas, veggie burgers, vegetables, and the occasional frozen meal. What can I say? I’m a college student.
As far as waffles or pancakes…I’d have to say waffles as well! Although, if the pancakes just happened to have bananas and/or chocolate chips in them, they might win. Add french toast to the contest, and there is absolutely no way I could choose.
Also just wanted to say that I LOVE all of your food photos! Your blog is great, so bright and such an inspiration!
Cute post! I love all of your waffle creations – I think I now need to get my own Van’s waffles (:
What a wonderful photo journey of waffles!
My freezer is always stocked with frozen fruit and leftovers! Oh, and ice cream, of course ;)
Umm, who doesn’t love waffles? Seriously if someone told me they hated waffles, I wouldn’t know how to respond! Haha.
I love Van’s waffles but my favorite are Kashi Blueberry. However, I can NOT find them anywhere anymore? Do you know if they discontinued them? So sad!
Love all of these waffle combinations…we haven’t made them for a while here…I may have to eat some in the morning!
I prefer pancakes over waffles…I don’t hate waffles by any means, I just would rather have a pancake!
My daughter (20mos) eats Van’s frozen – straight from the freezer! If I want to give her strawberries or bananas with it, they have to be on the side! Weird, but convenient! Haha!
oh YUM :) now i’m going to have to experiment with waffles!
We have waffles every Sunday (when we are all together) and I make them from scratch, along with my family’s butter syrup recipe, which I am sure you would NOT apporve of, but it is SO YUMMY! Guess I have to try Van’s, though…since you all say great things about it! Freezer: frozen berries for smoothies, coconut, veggies, bread, ice packs!
Thanks for the blog love — glad we found one another’s blogs! Those waffles…ah! YUM! And gorgeous photos!
this is the most gorgeous collection of waffle photos EVER! i love the one w/ apples. in my freezer i always have bananas and gelato. i like waffles, but loooooove pancakes.
I just bought those Van’s waffles and am loving them. It is a great breakfast alternative.
I love the idea of bananas and walnuts. Usually I just do pb and bananas – yum!
Beautiful waffle montage, Hill! Millet bread is a staple in my freezer that needs to be replenished ASAP!
I always keep extra frozen veggies in the freezer… and dark chocolate. Quite the combo, huh? :)
And I’m actually more on a pancake girl… but maybe because I haven’t met the right waffle yet?
I now have a huge craving for waffles. I was going to have pancakes as a treat after my race on Sunday but I might just change that to waffles with lots of fresh berries! Mmmmm!
My freezer is stuffed with frozen berries. I think 99% of the space I take up is frozen fruit, really. :D
And waffles, of course, always prevail over pancakes. Hah.
I always have a hard time whether I want pancakes or waffles. It almost feels like waffles take more work, but they really don’t! I guess I like waffles better, but I always have pancakes.
I have to say I’m a pancake girl (lately it’s been oat pancakes with almond butter and bananas, or today it was blackberry pancakes with raspberry vegan butter) but that might be just because I don’t have a waffle maker. I really, really want one. Your pictures make me want one even more! :) Can I ask what kind of camera you use? I’m in the market for a new one and your pictures are always amazing!
mmm… your pancakes sound delicious! I use a Sony Cyber-shot.
Every single one of these combinations looks amazing!! I need to start buying frozen waffles. I usually just stick to my bowl of oats every morning, but after awhile that gets boring.
YOU ARE THE WAFFLE QUEEN!! love it!! veggie burgers are my favorite freezer thang :)
Please tell me you’ve tried Dr. Praeger’s!?
Your waffle experiences look delicious. I am not a huge fan of either waffles or pancakes, but do get the odd craving from time to time. The way you prepare them definitely makes them appetizing!
Staples in my freezer: veggie burgers, frozen bananas, frozen veggies, frozen yogurt & frozen fish.
First of all…thanks for the comment on my blog…you’re so sweet! :) Second…your pics make me want to eat and I’m not even hungry right now! Haha! :)
I LOVE PANCAKES! Esp. with whip cream on them! :)
My freezer has tons of veggies and frozen fruit! :)
hmm… staples at my house? I’d have to agree on bananas, and bread (whole wheat or english muffins!), but also peanut butter, yogurt, eggs/egg beaters, apples, Amy’s Kitchen frozen meals, and…chocolate pudding :)
and, waffles all the way! I’ve never been much of a pancake girl. I’d much rather have a toasty/crispy waffle than a soft pancake. Although… I prefer french toast out of all three :)
Have a great night!
After reading this post, I went ahead and made myself some waffles + extra to freeze for later sessions.
Even though I’m normally much more of a pancake girl, this post has me craving waffles (and sadly I don’t have any in my freezer, nor do I have a waffle iron!) My freezer staples are definitely frozen bananas, yogurt, and other frozen fruit. You can make some pretty great smoothies with those ingredients and I never get bored.
