Toaster Waffles

We use quite a bit of milk in our house with two growing teenagers. Sometimes, though, I buy milk and nobody drinks it. The milk reaches its 'sell by' date, and then what do I do? I really hate to throw anything out if I don't have to, so often I make my husband some chocolate pudding. He loves that. It's Jell-o. It's easy, except he likes the cookin' kind, so it does take time and stirring. I think he appreciates me, though.

Another thing I do is use the milk to make waffles. I figure my waffle recipe calls for sour milk, anyway - and old milk ought to sour easier, right? Whether that's true or not, we all like waffles around here. Last year, my husband brought me home a waffle iron from his grandpa's house. I already had two, but he figured I could always use a new one. This one was different - not round like the others, it makes two square waffles. Guess what? Those square waffles make perfect toaster waffles - unlike the normal round waffles. So, periodically, I make a bunch of these waffles and put them into the freezer. They make great breakfasts for the kids, and, since school is starting Tuesday, I'm sure they will really appreciate them.
