Sinful Sunday morning treat

Waffle with powdered sugar and toasted pine nuts

One of my favorite guilty pleasures is a hot crispy waffle with melted butter and powdered sugar, accompanied by a cup of really good tea. I used to make my own waffles from scratch, but I’ve found some really good frozen ones that are healthier than what I could make.  Last night I made a salad with toasted pine nuts, Parmesan cheese and lemon vinaigrette.  This morning I realized that I had left a handful of pine nuts out all night; those things are really expensive, so I decided to toast them up a little more and put them on my waffle.  It was so good I nearly wept.  If you’re a mom who needs to trick her kids into eating healthier, try a multi-grain frozen waffle spread with Nutella or some other nut butter and sprinkle it with toasted slivered almonds.  They’ll think it’s Christmas!
