Guest Post: The 4th of July Waffle Treat You Have To Try All Summer

Summer is a season that inspires all kinds of culinary creativity. The fresh, lively scents, the burst of flavor from a mouthful of blueberries 🫐, and the warm weather draw me outside to explore herbs, plants, and all kinds of edibles. Plus, it's the perfect time to fire up the grill and cook just about anything.

Recently, I found myself brainstorming ways to elevate my "Send Me Waffles" 🧇 experience, and I stumbled upon a delicious idea.

I absolutely LOVE substituting waffles for biscuits in a strawberry 🍓 shortcake! Any flavor works, but Send Me Maple waffles are my top choice. Our Belgian Liege waffles make the perfect base for any dessert, providing that artisanal touch that elevates your treat.

So, around the 4th of July, while grilling some chicken, I decided to throw some fresh-made waffles on the grill. And then it hit me—what if I also grilled some pineapple 🍍, whipped up some cream, and created a red, white, and blue dessert 🇺🇸? Imagine a scrumptious tower of grilled waffle, caramelized pineapple, fresh whipped cream, cherries 🍒, and blueberries 🫐! Mind-blowing, right? 🤯🤩😋
