Funfetti waffles

Who doesn't like sprinkles?  Even if you don't think the world of their fun sprinkle flavor (valid flavor descriptor I'm sure), the burst of colorful happiness they bring is bound to make even a grinch smile. 

Or at least it should. 

These waffles are made using a bit of funfetti cake mix.  I made the first waffle and thought the sprinkles were a little sad so I suggest bumping it up a notch.  Just sprinkle them right over the top of the waffle batter....

Now you can really see 'em.

You could of course be really ambitious and make a glaze type syrup for these, but I thought they were just fantastic with maple syrup.  Yes indeedy.  

Easy, fun to look at and quick to throw together--the best kind of lunch in my opinion. 

Boston baby shot of the day.
