Gingerbread Waffles

We are breakfast people.  Neither one of us can make it very far into our day without it.  Most of the time, we are rushing around to get ready for our day, and we end up eating cereal or eggs.  On weekends, however, we really enjoy making large breakfasts.  We often end up making waffles, and we like to play with the recipe a bit and see what we can do to spice it up.  This weekend, we made gingerbread waffles.

Oh.my.goodness!

They were amazing.  Marshall said they were the best waffles he's ever tasted, and that's saying a lot since we eat them regularly.  I think they would make a perfect Christmas morning breakfast!
