We are in the spring season and the Spring Classic series happen in Belgium. Belgian cycling is the inspiration for the enitre cycling world. This simple recipe will get you into the spring season. The cold, wet and windy riding days lay ahead is the stuff that makes riders stronger. All Canadians can appreciate thhis weather and the Belgian spirit. Having this small taste of Belgium is better than eating the dirt from Belgian cobbles.

Can't wait to try these out!
We use a Warring Pro waffle Iron, its a home version of the heavy duty restraunt irons. It cost about $130 but after trying a number of irons that did not perform this was perfect. It makes the big round waffles. MMMM Good!
We sat down to this breakfast on Monday morning, it was a perfect way to start the week. Enjoy.
