New York Cheesecake Waffles

“Psst...do you have a waffle iron?” asked my friend Sneha during church. I stared at her puzzled. “Food is just always on my mind,” she replied. Me too, girl. Me too. Today I have on my mind these unbelievably delicious New York cheesecake waffles with some fresh blueberries! If I’m not thinking about what to eat for my next meal, I’m thinking about what new recipe to try out based on what’s on sale at Aldi . To me, food is truly magical. It’s amazing that a few ingredients can be transformed into one thing, while half way around the world, they can me made into something completely different. The survivors of the Grenfell tower fire came together and created a cook book that showcases each families individual tastes and showed the world how to unite in the face of adversity. So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
