Bacon Waffles

What better way to start off the day than with the aroma of the ultimate comfort food ~ bacon.  It seemed like a good day to start off with a nice breakfast since there's been a break in the 90+ degree weather and high humidity outside.  A piece of bacon is in almost every bite and it adds that bit of saltiness that works well no matter if you want maple syrup or a berry one.  It works well with bit of apple butter as a topping too.
