Hi! Happy National Waffle Day! Don’t you kinda love that there are so many random food holidays? I do because then I can justify making waffles on a random Wednesday. I kinda have to eat waffles today, it’s a national holiday!
Truthfully, I want to go to IHOP because I keep seeing commercials for these croissant waffles they just came out with. I don’t even like croissants! But I love waffles and I’m a sucker for anything ‘new’ in the food world.
But I’m not going to go to IHOP alone on a weekday (unless someone wants to come with me?). So, here are 10 healthy waffle recipes to make at home. Oh, and one not-so-healthy one that looked too dreamy to skip!

Or get some chicken and waffles!
*** I had chicken and waffles once – it was in Las Vegas when I was there for RNR Las Vegas Half Marathon. Check out that post for a cameo by Hungry Runner Girl, Skinny Runner and other randomness.
Now you’re making me crave for a nice waffle with maple syrup!
Waffles are my favorite breakfast food! Thanks for this.
Never had chicken and waffles.
This morning my breakfast was two sausage patties and a mini honey bun. Not very healthy. Lol
WAFFLES ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!
Stumbled onto your blog and loving it!

Thanks!!
Chicken & Waffles is one of those combinations that sounds strange, but is actually so delicious! I’ve had it for brunch a couple of times!
This morning I had my usual breakfast–egg beater omelet w/veggies & pepper jack cheese, coffee, and three pieces of pre-cooked microwave bacon. Quick, easy, filling…boom!
Oh wow waffles! I haven’t had waffles in years………. I always opt for either pancakes or Eggs Benedict when we go out to eat brunch. I should try to find some really yummy waffles!
yummmm! I went through a waffle stage and ate them every morning for breakfast for a longggg time then got tired of them and haven’t had one since. This needs to change.
I do that too where I eat the same thing for the longest time. It takes a very long while for me to get sick of anything.
I ordered the chicken and waffles from that restaurant while in Las Vegas last year for a conference! I was shocked at how HUGE they were! I ate maybe a quarter of it.
I had Eggo waffles and Nutella for breakfast this morning, which is one of my go-to quicky breakfasts when I’m running late in the mornings. So unbeknownst to me I was actually celebrating National Waffle Day. Hooray!
