A part of me wants to talk about how I have writer’s block, but that’s boring.
A part of me wants to talk about my love of lemon, but that’s old news.
A part of me wants to talk about how I saw a man on the Subway eating a whole chicken with his hands, but that’s irrelevant.
A part of me wants to talk about how I’m kind of obsessed with these pictures, but that goes against my modest nature (ahem sarcasm)
A part of me wants to talk about how I attempted to photograph my latest oatmeal recipe before eating anything and the wicked witch of the west came out to play, but today we’re talking waffles.
A part of me wants to talk about how I wished you guys had voted for the oatmeal instead of the waffles in my Facebook and Twitter poll because I actually have something to write about the oatmeal, but you didn’t.
A part of me wants to talk about the incredible coconut water I tried yesterday, but instead I’ll harass the company until they let me do a giveaway so you can get it fo free yoooo.
A part of me wants to talk about how I would rather be watching The Real World right now, but….so shameful.
A part of me wants to talk about how awesome these Lemon Buckwheat Waffles are, but instead I talked about absolutely nothing.

February 20, 2014 at 8:44 ama part of me wants to tell you that I had lemon pound cake on Monday and now I’m kind of understanding the lemon obsession thing. Not bad at all…

February 20, 2014 at 8:40 amI love your photographs Davida! They always make me want to eat my computer monitor! 😉
I have had no experience with buckwheat flour before. I always tend to use almond or coconut flour, but I’m thinking I should really branch out because these waffles look fabulous!

February 20, 2014 at 8:33 amThese pictures… literally, I saw the preview pic in my bloglovin’ feed and I thought to myself “I need to remember to tell her in my comment how amazing her photography is,” I swear I’m not just saying that because you mentioned it (although I laughed when you did, great minds?). And I feel you on writer’s block lately. Oof.
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 11:00 pmYou’re the sweetest Kimby!!!! Thank you 🙂 I got lucky on these ones for sure.
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise
February 20, 2014 at 8:32 amThese look so amazing! I’m currently staying with my in-laws and my waffle maker is buried somewhere in the basement, but I’m totally trying this recipe once my hubby and I get our own place! They sound absolutely delicious and I think they’d be great with blueberries on top. 🙂

February 26, 2014 at 10:57 pmHope you dig out the waffle maker soon!
Alison @ Daily Moves and Grooves
February 20, 2014 at 8:25 amSometimes you just have to ramble off some contents of the mind! I mean, I found it pretty fascinating that a guy was eating a whole chicken with his hands on the subway.
Also, I want these waffles!!! And yes, the photos are beautiful 🙂

February 20, 2014 at 7:25 amA part of me wants to tell you that you should give us the oatmeal recipe soon! Another BIG part of me wants to tell you those waffles look great, and I need to find myself some buckwheat, and another BIG part of me wants to tell you that you are so awesome! Your posts are always so loveable! Your personality shines through! Keep it up!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 10:49 pmAw thanks Tina! Your comments are always so sweet 🙂 Appreciate it!
Elise @ 9toFit.com
February 20, 2014 at 7:20 amI totally agree with you , these pictures came out great! I have been on a huge chocolate chip waffle kick since we have been staying over at a hotel for work lately, but I bet these homemade waffles blow those out of the water

February 20, 2014 at 7:04 amYum! I love the mix of buckwheat and coconut flour, I am sure these would go over quite well in my house!
A part of me wants to tell you that I wish I could eat oatmeal three meals a day, but then I would feel bad for my husband 🙂
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 10:48 pmI feel ya Cara!!! I totally could too.
We should grab the buckwheat pancakes from Sadie’s sometime!

erin @ The Almond Eater
February 20, 2014 at 6:35 amBefore even reading this I was going to say that I love your photos! Always improving 🙂 These obvi look amazing and I for one am glad you posted the waffles because I don’t like oatmeal…… I’m weird I know. Also a man ate a whole chicken?? How disturbing. Or maybe it would’ve just made me hungry..
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
February 20, 2014 at 6:31 amPlease tell me you put your phone on silent and took a picture of the guy eating the chicken. Please say you did this (because I would have).

February 20, 2014 at 5:36 amPart of me what’s to have a massive rant right now about something which correlates directly with our upcoming post….
But I can chillax and calm my nerves over these waffles…so glad you posted this OVER oatmeal because I have the damn waffle maker here! Seeing as you’ve hyped up the lemon flavouring, I may aswell test it out too.
