It's National Waffle Day!

 

On August 24, 1869, Cornelius Swartwout, of Troy, N.Y., received the first U.S. patent for the waffle iron. We are forever grateful! Versatile and economical, the waffle iron can be used in so many creative ways. Today, to honor the humble waffle, here are a few shining recipes to celebrate:

Waffle Grilled Cheese

Mashed Potato, Cheddar and Chive Waffles

MINI ICE CREAM WAFFLE SANDWICHES 

Waffled cornbread

 Banana Bread Waffles

Spicy Chicken Sliders

Slow Cookers are not just for winter soups and stews. They are great for easy summer meals and entertaining. This recipe would be great for an easy Sunday!
