Eggo Strawberry Shortcake

Eggo Strawberry Shortcakes 005

Was it wrong that I had these for breakfast?

I mean, there are 2 Eggo® Nutri-Grain Waffles in there…and fruit….and  dairy.
[rss-cut]
That equals a balanced meal.

Aside for being beautiful photos(yes, I’m tooting my own horn), these super easy strawberry shortcakes are a cinch to make.

No biscuit making, which cuts out ohhhhh, about a hour of prep time.

So if you are having a serious sweet-tooth or a hankering for some strawberry shortcake, look no further than your freezer for your Eggo® Waffles.

It certainly has been fun being a Chief Waffle Officer..we still have 2 more days left. Yahhhhoooo.
