Buttermilk Waffles for TwoI've got a few tasty waffle recipes posted on my blog (like my Gingerbread Pumpkin Waffles). This waffle recipe is no exception.Now that Craig and I are empty nesters, I'm looking for ways to convert recipe portions by at least half. Sure, leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated.

To know my Mutti, she loved a party, loved to dance, and thrived at being the center of attention.Rather than having a somber service, we had a fully catered German buffet with Bavarian music playing. I think she would have been very pleased… |
