Brussels Waffle (known in the USA as Belgian Waffle) with Strawberries (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
We’re all super busy. But, we would like to do something a little special to show our family that they are our best valentines, even if it is Thursday morning, right?
What fits the bill better than adding juicy, sweet, (and healthy – gasp!) strawberries to breakfast? What a simple solution!
You can slice them up and throw them on cereal, or oatmeal, in yogurt, or on frozen waffles. Simple, right?
This morning, my daughter took a frozen waffle, chocolate hazelnut spread, sliced strawberries, and a little whipped cream. How’s that for a yummy creation?
If you have a litte more time and an overripe banana – you can make Banana French Toast topped with strawberries. Simply mash the banana with the egg mixture.
A little bit of Redi-Whip makes anything special, right? (NOT Cool Whip – read why here – )
Of course, you could use the healthy little gems to make a fast dessert too. Throw sliced strawberries on ice cream, or on a piece of pound cake or angel food cake.
**For best results, slice the strawberries the night before. Put them in a sealed container. They will be in a bit of juice by morning.
Have a Wonderful Valentine’s Day!

I love the idea of strawberries with waffles Carole! I recently made what I called a Deconstructed Trifle, which was a slice of homemade sponge cake topped with strawberries, some good ready-to-serve custard, a dollop of double cream, and grated dark chocolate to top it off. Assembled on plates, there were no crystal trifle bowls to break, and everyone had only one portion!
Oh Fiona! That sounds incredible!
