If you follow me you know we do family dinner every Saturday or Sunday, which ever works out best for everyone’s schedules.
Last week for family dinner, we also celebrated Alex’s (second son) birthday. The birthday person always gets to pick their meal and dessert and Alex picked grilled chicken breasts and Belgian Waffles.
Right? I was confused at first too, but they go together amazingly well and I found a delicious recipe for Belgian Waffles that I couldn’t wait to share with you.
I found this on the Salty Marshmellow. Here’s the link if you prefer. https://thesaltymarshmallow.com/homemade-belgian-waffle-recipe/
