Waning Waffles

There is a very serious Eggo Waffle shortage people! My daughter will starve!  The Eggo factory in Atlanta had a flood due to heavy rain.  The Atlanta facility was closed during much of September and October to sanitize the plant after inspectors found Listeria monocytogenes — bacteria that can cause serious infection — in a sample of Eggos, according to the Georgia Department of Agriculture.  Yikes! 

Here is the scarey thing, my waffle maker broke!  Oh no!!!!!!  Of course, I secretly love when I have to buy new appliances.  So I made a big leap and bought the Food Network™ 4-in-1 Grill & Griddle.  It happened to be on sale and I also had a coupon for an extra $10 off.  I am a sucker for sales and coupons, even though nothing is really on sale, it’s just psychological ploy to make you feel like you are getting a deal! 

The plates are removable so that you can put them in the dishwasher.  The plates function as an open grill, panini press, griddle and waffle maker for versatile use.

Don’t you hate washing a waffle iron hanging off the counter trying not to immerse the cordage in water?  I do!  I also have had a George Foreman Grill for years.  It’s a wonderful grill, except I bought it before the removable plates were an option.
