Summary
Necessity is the mother of invention. In this instance I am going into the second month of home remodeling life without a kitchen. We either eat cereal, eat out or use small kitchen appliances to cook or heat up food. When given a container of homemade chili recently, I decided to try cooking my favorite cornbread recipe in the Belgian waffle maker. Oh, yeah - it worked! Smear toasty waffle quarters with softened butter and drizzle with honey as you might regular cornbread. The thinner thickness and the waffle impressions make for a crispy dining experience. Enjoy!
