waffles & frites.

when me and my family went to belgium this past october, we absolutely fell in love with everything belgium, but more importantly with frites and waffles.

fresh cut potatoes + fried + fried {again} + served hot + eaten with a baby fork = frites

basically scone dough + big sugar crystals that caramelize + taken right from the iron to your mouth = sugar waffles

(my mouth is watering as i am writing this)

when we returned home from our trip - we were already missing the food. kinda pathetic? nope. i googled "how to make real belgium sugar waffles" no joke. ask maria about how i love to google and will ask [it] the most random questions. but needless to say, i couldn't find any good recipes that could even come close to how good the sugar waffles from belgium are.. and none of them were legit belgium waffles. as me and my mom were looking for a place to eat today for lunch- we couldn't be happier to find this.

they were so so yummy and as close as we'll ever get to the real thing.

oh bruge, how i miss you. you were too good to us.
