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 26, 2014 at 11:24 pmhahaha it’s kind of remarkable how I wrote an entire post about waffles and only mentioned waffles in the last line. I’m such a food blogger fail!

February 20, 2014 at 9:12 pmYou should brag about these pictures They’re incredible…so much so, you don’t even need to talk about the waffles. They sell themselves.

February 20, 2014 at 9:08 pmOMG I’m cracking up right now… just because of what you texted me about this post. But I really want to make these, I’m just terrible at making waffles. I’ll just have to wait to come to Toronto so you can make Ang and I waffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

February 20, 2014 at 6:41 pmSo I adore lemon. And buckwheat. And I just got a hand me down waffle maker. These must be signs, no?
Katie @ 24 Carrot Life
February 20, 2014 at 4:45 pmGirl. Not only do I not have a waffle maker but I don’t have buckwheat flour and there’s no way I’m finding that here in Mexico. I’ll just have to wait until you cave and post the oatmeal recipe…cuz I know it’s going to happen!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 11:21 pmposted it as soon as I could just cause I felt horrible you had nothing involved in this recipe! At least you have sun and warmth right?!
Katie @ 24 Carrot Life
February 27, 2014 at 11:12 amYou’re always lookin’ out for me!
Alexis @ Hummusapien
February 20, 2014 at 4:32 pmLemons all day err’ day! They really never get old. Writer’s block has been the death of me lately. I think every post I write is abut nothing but then it some how turns into a weird, irrelevant smorgasbord that gets me to the recipe in some form or another. Whatever works, yo!
Jo @ LivingMintGreen
February 20, 2014 at 4:15 pmUm… the guy eating chicken with his bare hands is ALL I want to talk about. I hate your damn waffles now – WHERE IS THIS MAN. BRING HIM TO ME.
Arman says you guys are road tripping to Alberta? Why didn’t you tell me? Why do you hate me?
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 11:20 pmYou and Arman are the only people I like. I hope no one reads this comment. Bayeeeeeee
Nicole @ FruitnFitness
February 20, 2014 at 3:57 pmThese really do sound good, but I would like to hear about the guy eating the whole chicken with his hands. The writers block, I have been so tired at night and stressed with school and work that other than talking about stress I’m lost.
Cassie
February 20, 2014 at 3:10 pmI love your pictures!
Kat
February 20, 2014 at 2:24 pmOh lord…I just gagged a little about the story with the man and the chicken….BLEH! That’s just nasty. I don’t do meat on the bone…ESPECIALLY not on a flippin Subway!
Anyway, these look amazing! Im a huge lemon lover too. The lemon and blueberry combo is one of my favorites!!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
February 26, 2014 at 11:19 pmTotally throwing in blueberries next time!

February 20, 2014 at 2:16 pmPart of me wants to tell you that you made waffles look sexy. Like… the kind of breakfast you’d eat after a crazy wild night sexy. But part of me thinks I shouldn’t mention it because it just makes me sound like a weirdo. Oops.
Davida @ The Healthy Maven
