I’m breaking tradition and saving my usual #ThirstyThursday Cocktail recipe for tomorrow and bringing you a special treat instead. CHOCOLATE WAFFLES!!!

Chocolate Waffles- Gluten Free and Vegan from HeatherChristo.com

Hopefully you will get to tune in this morning and catch me on the TODAY show wooping it up with Kathie Lee and Tony Freaking Danza. Holy “Who’s the Boss!!!!”
I watched that show incessantly as a kid- so funny! But I am truly honored that I get to share my cooking with so many people today.

While I try to keep my cooking really healthy and full of fresh whole foods- I am all about creating a sustainable life style- what I do is NOT a diet, it’s a lifestyle. And part of creating that sustainable way of living is including dishes that help you to not feel deprived or like you are missing out on any of the “good stuff” just because you have food allergies or sensitivities. For those of you who have my book or regularly read the blog, then you know what I am talking about- stuff like Dark Chocolate Coconut Fig Ice Cream, Blueberry Sherbert and Strawberry Rhubarb Galette. I like to keep some of these sweet treats in my life to balance out all of the healthy soups and salads that are the mainstay of my diet.

You know, something like these gorgeous Chocolate Waffles! Hot maple syrup is always amazing, but I really prefer fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. With all of the fresh berries in season at this time of year- it’s just such an awesome combination. With the weekend coming up, stock up on your favorite summer fruit and you gotta try this recipe!
