I’ve made chocolate chip waffles and pancakes for my kids so many times I would never have imagined a video online could have helped make it better. But the one below from MonkeySee gives a step by step process for making a sweet breakfast from scratch.

I’m really starting to look forward to fall lately. The dog days of summer seem to be dragging on and on and I can’t wait for things to cool, which unfortunately won’t be for another two months or so!
