It's National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! Celebrate With a Waffle 'Wich

Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!

Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day! In honor of the holiday, I'm sharing a contemporary update on what happens to be one of my favorite nostalgic foods.


I've said before that some of the best sandwiches evoke memories, and this recipe goes back when I was maybe 7 or 8, and my mom fixed me some waffles before realizing we were out of syrup. She improvised to make this sandwich, and "peanut butter and jelly waffles" soon became one of my favorite meals. Like the nonwaffly version, this PB&J is very easy to make and can inspire countless variations: almond instead of peanut butter, different flavors of waffles or even waffles from scratch, honey in place of jelly, Elvis-style with bananas, and on and on.

This time I used Eggo cinnamon waffles, which I highly recommend. The only requirement for this breakfast or lunch sandwich — and what sets it apart from a traditional PB&J — is using hot, toasted waffles, which melt the peanut butter in just the right warm and comfy way. To see my recipe, keep reading.

Waffles With Blueberry Sauce

Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves a quick blueberry sauce.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who loves a quick blueberry sauce. So does member girlA, who uses hers to top savory dinner dishes — as well as vegan waffles the next morning.The other night I made Field Roast with Blueberry Sauce and had some leftover sauce. That called for morning waffles. This is a healthy, hearty waffle that will stick to the ribs. I highly recommend doubling the recipe if feeding more than 2 people–as it is, it only makes about 4-6 small waffles. It’s a simple recipe where everything just goes in the blender and you're ready to go!

In Search of an Affordable Waffle Maker

Listen up readers, nikks needs our help.

Listen up readers, nikks needs our help. She recently posted a question to the YumSugar Community inquiring about waffle makers. She asks, "Does anyone know a good waffle maker that's not over 100 bucks? I want to make liege waffles." Liege waffles are a type of Belgian waffle with a richer and denser texture and sweeter taste. Since I don't own a waffle maker, I'm wondering: Do you have any affordable waffle maker suggestions? Or tips for making scrumptious waffles? Please share with us below!

Waffles Two Ways — Sweet and Savory

While PartySugar enjoys a leisurely meal on her front patio this


While PartySugar enjoys a leisurely meal on her front patio this Mother's Day, I'll be celebrating with classic breakfast food: waffles. Since I hate choosing between sweet and savory dishes when out to brunch, I'm going to eliminate the choice on Sunday and serve breakfast options that satisfy a penchant for both sugar and salt.

We'll begin with waffles served the traditional Belgian way, sprinkled with confectioner's sugar. To up the ante, I'm also including freshly whipped cream and strawberries to top them off. And before any palates suffer from sweet fatigue, I'll bring in a savory version, studded with chives, rosemary, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, then topped with irresistible bacon and poached eggs. Envious? Stun your mom with the same choices when you read more.
