When I’m having a lazy Sunday, I’m certainly in no mood to cook.
But because we’ve been so busy these past two weeks, I’ve had little time to cook and we’ve now eaten all our leftovers!
As I was searching my pantries for something easy, I realized I had a box of waffle mix and pepperonis – then I remembered an easy meal I used to make all the time in college: pizza waffles!
While we certainly weren’t allowed to have any type of waffle makers/griddles/toasters in our dorm rooms, I feel safe enough finally admit (with my degree hanging on my wall) that I totally snuck an omelette maker into my college dorm.
That way if I were ever caught with it, I could say, “Well the rules don’t specifically mention omelette makers.”
Though I suppose the omelette maker would have been the least of the illegal items I had in my room: we also snuck in hamsters. Wild times. https://giphy.com/embed/3og0Ivn7v8beZ56CJ2?html5=true
Our student market had a wide array of foods that couldn’t be made unless you had secret waffle makers in your room anyways, so really we were just making the best of what the university already provided!
This easy pizza method could be done with an omelette maker (we made pizza pockets in one!), but mine has since been lost in all our moves since we graduated. Leave it to college kids to bring the ingenuity of waffle pizza to the world!
