Today is National Waffle Day!

 

I have grands who enjoy waffles. When they spend the night at our house (typically once a week) waffles are often enjoyed for breakfast! While they might say every day should be Waffle Day, happily, today is Waffle Day! Let's look at some Waffle Fun Facts - did you know . . .

• Waffles have been around since the 14th century.
• Waffles inspired Nike's first pair of sneakers - they were called the "waffle trainer" and were made using an actual waffle iron.
• The Waffle House sells 145 waffles a minute.
• Eggo first called their waffles Froffles. It’s a combination of “frozen” and “waffles".

You will find more waffle fun facts at this link.

So, how might you celebrate Waffles today? Of course have some for breakfast - my favorite is blueberry waffles with peanut butter on them! But don't limit these tasty treats to breakfast. Have some for lunch, or supper, or for a snack - whenever you eat them, you will certainly enjoy them! You might gather your family and have a waffle eating contest, or a waffle making contest, or ???
