Dinners typically are comforting and delicious according to my kids but they aren’t fun. The kids have been seeing these Eggo Waffle commercials where they are experimenting with ingredients turning them into sandwiches & desserts. So being the good mom that I am we had waffle sandwiches for dinner.
Using ingredients I know they love is the first step. I toasted the waffles like I usually do then let the kids pick out combinations of their choice.
Shae was the only one not distracted enough to stick around while the waffles toasted so the sandwiches were her pick.
Peanut Butter, Honey and Banana & Cream Cheese and Strawberry Preserves
In case you’re wondering, this is the face of enjoyment. Shae much prefers goofy faces over typical smiles.

Waffle sandwiches?! You are the coolest mom EVER! Can you imagine the possibilities? A fried egg and some bacon would be my choice!
I wanted to do grilled ham and cheese but my kids will ALWAYS choose sweet over savory. Eggs and bacon sound sooo good though
I don’t know – grilled ham & cheese would be pretty awesome!
that sounds awesome!
That is just the kind of breakfast my daughter would love! 🙂
it ended up being breakfast this morning for both of them
Oooh, this sounds like FUN! I’m all over it. I will want a Nutella and PB sammy, STAT!
Mmmmmm A waffle Sandwich actually sounds really good right now! I might have to whip up a batch for lunch 🙂
The look on her face is priceless. We love simple dinners like that, too.
I actually make waffle ice cream sandwiches for my kids. Try that next time for dessert – they are soooo good!!
ice cream on top of a waffle sounds so good. Next time I’ll make my own but this time was a quickie dinner
What a neat idea. I bet my son would love this.
What a great idea! I don’t know why I have never thought of it!
me neither considering we eat LOTS of waffles
Ooh, what a yummy idea! Healthy items stuffed is much nicer than a sugary syrup on top!
i don’t know if these ingredients counted as “healthy” but it’s definitely an overall better choice LOL
Well, you could fill it with really healthy things, maybe I should say that. 🙂
waffles are a fun way to make a lot of meals change up and more exciting!! yummy
My son loves a peanut butter waffle sandwich. I love the combo of waffles, fried chicken and syrup – I’ll have to make a sandwich with that for me!
Breakfast for dinner has always been my favorite! These sound easy & great 🙂
I don’t have any recipes to add, but this looks delicious! I love breakfast for dinner!
Those look awesome! Breakfast for dinner is always a good thing 🙂
Yum. i love breafast for dinner
Yep, we do this at home too. Great….and not too mention, sometimes this is the only thing my 4 year old wants. I think it’s great for dinner too!!
I LOVE waffles and why have I never thought to do anything like this? It’s happening now, I assure you!
My kids are still too young to make their own meals so I do all the work. I also have a harder time because my husband, and 4 year old are gluten free.
I love that this would be great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
This is such a fun idea to get kids cooking!
We haven’t tried these yet, but they eat waffles for breakfast every morning so I’m guessing they would LOVE waffle sandwiches! Maybe I’ll sneak some in on them in the morning! LOL
My boys love to have waffle sandwiches for breakfast. I like that adding the peanut butter and fruit to the waffles gives them more to fuel their mornings.
I love the idea of waffle sandwiches. I like to put peanut butter on my waffles then add the syrup.
Those look yummy, you could get creative with fresh fruits, ricotta cheese or even peanut butter.
Peanut butter and banana is my favorite sandwich! I can’t believe I haven’t tried it on waffles yet! YUM!
