So this recipe is from the Rachael Ray site but I think? its a reader submission. Here is the link it is delicious but it definitely walks the cake line for sure and is super addictive and moist. I did put a bit of foil loosely on the top of bread 3/4 through cooking time because the top was getting a bit dark. This recipe could be reduced in the sugar or choc chip department if you aren't looking for super sweet.
I recently went on a trip to Victoria and I have always wanted to check out red fish blue fish a c-can restaurant? (think island food truck) in the inner harbour. I tried to go once another time to check it out but due to stellar prices,quality and location the line was insanely long to wait in. This time we went early and the line was only just long ;) If your in the area be sure to check it out and try to go early or late.
I had a major waffle craving today, which for me means a maple syrup craving!!! Haha anyways my sweet tooth aside this is just a simple recipe. It did the trick but if I were being picky I prefer a buttermilk waffle.
