Made some healthy waffles tonight with a wheat berry whole grain baking mix, with a homemade strawberry sauce. Delish!! Thought this would be a great breakfast for your sweetheart on Valentine's Day! And yes, a few drops of red food coloring for red waffles. ;)

Homemade waffles are super easy to make and this recipe has minimal ingredients. A delicious way to treat your sweetie to a special breakfast. Turning the waffles red makes these fluffy waffles fun. The fresh strawberry sauce is tasty and a pretty topping. It would be yummy on ice cream or shortcake.
