Ashley's Whole Wheat Waffles

Do you know anyone who is up for anything, anytime?  

 They love to try new things,

 they thrive on adventures,

 and take every opportunity to savor each new experience.

It's my oldest sister's birthday and she is all of the above and more.  As I was thinking about what I wanted to share about her I thought it would be fun to share a recipe of hers, as that's another thing I love about her.  Culinary adventurist, but also healthy and whole in her concoctions.  Whole wheat waffles that actually taste light and fluffy, and well, amazing.  And I had plans of taking a whole bunch of beautiful photos as I made them, if the unground wheat, of the fluffy cloud-like whipped egg whites and the crispy, steaming waffles, freshly whipped cream with flecks of vanilla beans, and a drizzle of homemade orange sauce.  Good intentions.  Ryan whipped up the waffles for dinner and even added some pumpkin.  So, I leave you the recipe and my word that it's worth  and birthday wishes to my adventure-loving, life-absorbing sister.  Love ya, Ash.
