Wow, I can't believe this, it took a three year old to think of it. She asked what was for dinner and I said chicken soup and falafel. She said, "yum! waffles." I said, "no, falafel." And then I thought why not, that would be easier than making patties and frying them. So I mixed a little organic canola oil into the falafel box mix and then a little chicken broth until it seemed the right batter consistentcy. It made 8 waffles. They would probably be great with cucumber salad, but Selah was still on the waffle mode of thinking and she wanted maple syrup. At first I resisted :think and then gave into a drizzle of real maple syrup. She attacked that waffle and I was so proud that I had sneaked garbanzo bean protein and fiber into her. And I thought I had reached a new height of waffle iron ectasy when I started making grilled cheese sandwiches in it, but now I feel emboldened, there's no knowing what I might make into a waffle now!
