New Year's Waffle Bar Brunch
New Years Eve always gets all the attention and tradition, but New Years Day is pretty special too! I love the feeling of new beginnings, a fresh start. Our family is chalk full of fun traditions for the long night before, but we typically have New Year’s Day off work, and want to fill it with something intentional and memorable too. I think a waffle bar brunch with friends is such a fun idea to gather together and celebrate, it is easy to make, people can contribute toppings, and it appeals to young and old. The recipe for success!
I went to Pinterest looking for waffle bar brunch ideas, and of course, found some great inspiration to get me started.

You can make the waffles ahead and/or keep them coming hot as your guests are eating. Invite your guests to bring toppings or syrups to make it extra special. This is a great brunch idea for New Years, but it would be fun any day of the year! Enjoy!

Light and Fluffy Buttermilk Waffles - Mel's Kitchen Cafe
So delicious! Made them with half whole wheat half white and I couldn’t even believe they had whole wheat in them. They we so tender and light. An easy but special breakfast for conference morning! Made the full recipe and had about 3 waffles leftover after two adults and two little kids ate their fill. Perfect! Author: Kate Recipe Type: Breakfast Total Time: PT13M

For an 8-inch round waffle iron, use about 1/3 cup batter (adjust according to waffle iron size). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the iron stops steaming. If making cheese waffles, pour 1/3 cup batter on waffle iron and sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese over batter before closing iron.
