Happy Independence Day!

3 July, 2015 by ES Ivy

HappyFourth450x271

Start your Independence day off right with some patriotic waffles! Whip cream and berries. Mmmm….

You do know how to make fresh whip cream, don’t you? It’s so easy, and so delicious! So I thought I’d quickly find a link to a recipe on-line of how to make it.
