Serina's Brilliant Whole Grain Waffles

Growing up I lived in a world without frozen dinners, white bread, and capri suns - no this is not at all an exaggeration nor is it a complaint - I loved growing up eating healthy!  My mom did a wonderful job teaching us kids (me and my brother and sister) the importance of a well balanced diet...it is a virtue I would love to instill into my son!

I must preface that not everything we ate as kids was super yummy.  I have not so fond memories of the dreaded whole wheat waffle breakfast. You know the ones I'm talking about...thick, dense, and have the same consistency and taste of cardboard!  Not my favorite breakfast item!  Ever since I was little I've had an aversion to whole wheat waffles - sorry mom.  This all changed when I received a recipe from my good friend and chef, Serina.  When she offered to share her Whole Grain Waffle recipe with me, I must admit I was apprehensive to try it (refer to my dread of the cardboard), but Serina assured me it would be nothing like the whole wheat waffles I remembered.  She couldn't have been more right... light, fluffy, full of flavor and great texture...they are AMAZING!!!  They are now a favorite Sunday breakfast item at my house.  Serina has given me the go ahead to share her recipe with you all - you will not be disappointed!!!   Enjoy!
