Chocolate Chip Waffles with Strawberry Pom Sauce

Happy ❤️💖Valentine’s💖❤️ Day Peeps! 

Some of you might’ve seen my sneak peek a couple days ago and here is the final result,  Heart Shaped Chocolate Chip Waffles with Strawberry Pom Sauce! I thought this was fitting for the Holiday of Love and another creation to add to the brunch series! 

I’ve had a craving for waffles since pre-pandemic and what better way to celebrate Love Day by fulfilling my sweet indulgence. 

                                    

For the waffles, I just used box mix and followed the directions on the package. Once the ingredients were combined, I added a little vanilla extract for flavor and chocolate chips. 

I used a mini heart waffle maker that I snagged from Walmart (Less than $10). It’s cute, petite and easy to use.

                                                 

For the sauce, I mashed pomegranate arils to get about a 1/4 cup of juice.  Then I sliced about a cup of strawberries. In a medium sauce pan, I  combined water and sugar until dissolved and boiled. I added the strawberries and let simmer until the fruit cooked down. I added the pomegranate juice and the juice of a lemon wedge before stirring. I like how lemons enhances the tartness of both fruits.

For my breakfast side I went with bacon, sausage, and a fried egg sprinkle with a lil goat cheese. Drink of choice was OJ (sadly not a mimosa). 

Majority of my Valentines has been Galentine’s style and highly underrated. I’m constantly grateful for the bonds I have with the people in my life and in turn, also helps me pour love into myself (this time in the form of my super cute mug 🥰 ) 

  

side note: candy also goes on the sale the next day ☠️

If you’re with yourself, yo boo, friends, or family, extend a little love ❤️💖❤️💖❤️

Don’t forget to drop a like if you think it’s droolworthy! 

Enjoy your Valentine’s day peeps! 

See you in the next post! ✨✌🏾💜
