What’s your favorite time of the day? Growing up, mine was always that mid-afternoon slot. Why you ask? That was the time school got out! We’d rush home each day to be greeted with the best mid-afternoon present a mom could give her children…after-school snacks!
While my mom was the sensation of snack time, creating delectable masterpieces every day, she never came across today’s recipe. Truthfully, I wish she did! I mean, what kid wouldn’t want to walk into the door, after a long, hard day of school, only to find two of their favorite foods combined into one amazing treat?! If there was a King of after-school snacks, this would be it! Grab your waffle iron, we’re making Pizza Waffles!
