The first week of September is National Waffle Week. Leggo your bland Eggos and break your fast every day this week with a better-than-the-average waffle. Try some of these ideas or come up with your own creative waffles.

Use your waffles for a sandwich. Try peanut butter and jelly or honey. Grill your waffles and use them for a steak or tuna sandwich, or stack them and add your favorite lunch items in between the layers.

Top your waffles with blueberries, raspberries, or your favorite fruit.

Serve a waffle on a stick to kids with plenty of yogurt or fruit dip.

Crumble waffles and use them in cobblers, pies and toppings. Substitute them as your salad croutons.

Add in some bran or flaxseed when you make your waffles for extra nutritional content.
