One of my favorite Christmas presents this year was a Belgian waffle maker, so much to my kids' delight, I've been making waffles every weekend. Now waffles are not the most healthful of breakfast foods, but with a little tweaking, it's possible to make delicious low fat waffles such as these. Top them with fresh fruit, and a little powdered sugar or low fat vanilla yogurt.
