Recipe: Layered Waffle Parfait

A lot can happen during breakfast.  Lately, I’ve been trying to keep breakfast time to just that: breakfast. Just my food and my thoughts. No work, no email, no phone. It’s harder than it sounds, but I’m finding that it lets my brain relax and (often) wander. In this case, my brain wandered to an …
