Waffles

Now a days, there are so many different food days to celebrate. Some of them less interesting than others if you ask us. The good thing though, is that you might be reminded of some of your favorite foods or pastries because of these days and you get a great excuse to make them.

March 25 is International Waffle Day. This observance began in Sweden, when people confused “varfrudagen”, which celebrates the annunciation, (when the angel Gabriel told Mary she would be the mother of Jesus) with “vaffeldagen,” which means Waffle Day.

Let’s celebrate International Waffle Day with these goodies.

Classic. Waffles with strawberries and whipped cream.
