the husband knows the best way to my heart is through my stomach.

that is why tonight he made my always favorite - breakfast for dinner. i feel like a good waffle iron should be mandatory in any true chef's kitchen. this particular one makes humongous 4-piece waffles (the size of a dinner plate), and of course, we each eat one. not my best practicing of moderation, but i just can't help myself. 

this homemade syrup topped with fresh fruit, really brought the meal home. melt-in-your-mouth kind of good. 

simple and delicious, homemade waffles

1 3/4 cups flour

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 3/4 cup milk

1/2 vegetable oil

mix together and bake in a waffle iron

cinnamon and brown sugar syrup

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup corn syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup water

in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cinnamon. add butter, water and corn syrup and stir over medium low heat until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens. serve hot.
