7 waffle iron recipes to celebrate international waffle day

Happy International Waffle Day!

Do you have a waffle press? I got mine because it was $5 on Black Friday so.. duh.. that means it's a necessity. Unfortunately, I haven't used it for nearly as many things as Pinterest tells me to.

In an effort to celebrate and motivate me to use it more, here are some fun [/interesting] recipes I've found beyond the regular waffle.

Waffle ice cream sandwiches! The easiest!

Stuff em with pizza!

Cook up some non-fried crab cakes

And this is like fried/crispy macaroni and cheese!

Or stuff some other meats in there

Cornbread waffle with chili on top! 

I'm pretty sure "anything with Red Velvet involved is a win" is a law.

There are a ton of other things, too... basically cook ANYTHING in there! Brownies/cookies... hash browns.. eggs... cinnamon rolls... Anything that can be baked can be thrown in your waffle iron for a couple minutes and come out magnificent.

It seems as though I'm going to have to invest in another one, though. Mine is a Belgian waffle maker and I don't see that ending well with some of these recipes. 

If you've tried anything, lemme know what you loved!
