Marble waffles take care of requests for both chocolate and vanilla. This post brought to you by Netflix as part of my ongoing partnership as a member of their Stream Team..
When my sons ended up being born six years apart, we knew there would be some … issues when it came to raising them. Having kids that far apart in age has both plusses and minuses, which we get to experience every single day.
I’m no stranger to sibling rivalry, with a brother who is two year older. We fought constantly, and we both felt plenty of injustices were at play because he was older or because I was a girl. My sons’ issues arise mostly from the age difference, in that Max, the little guy, absolutely adores big kids and wants to do everything they do, and my older son wants to be able to do his age-appropriate things without his little brother getting in the way.
Food is also a fight, because Max likes to tell people what they are going to eat, and darn it all if you don’t want what he wants. I made these marble waffles to please both of their desires โ not that anyone should turn down waffles in any fashion.
I’ve made chocolate waffles before but sometimes they’re a little too heavy for breakfast. Instead, swirling a chocolate batter with a standard vanilla batter results in best of both worlds, with light and bittersweet playing together just like I wish my kids would do when they haul out the train set.
When it comes to entertainment, thankfully they are able to agree that almost anything goes. Max loves absolutely everything, and I think Reese secretly enjoys watching the “little kid” shows. Considering how many animated movies we owned even before we had children, I can’t say that I blame him!
This month they’ve been watching the new show Kong of the Apes, re-watching How to Train Your Dragon 2, and have all the Kung Fu Panda shows on endless repeat.
As for me, we just finished House of Cards and have moved on to the decidedly lighter second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
If you need to please multiple parties for breakfast, give these marble waffles a try. Serve them up with a selection of toppings for a DIY breakfast that will make everyone happy. Especially the parents who won’t need to listen to squabbling at the table.
