Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Waffles (E-IF)

One of the things my daughter really wanted for her birthday was a wafflemaker.  She had always been a fan of them when we went to stay overnight in hotels, so what dad would not want to try to make his daughter’s day?  I got a Waring Pro Double Wafflemaker — with 4 kids a single wafflemaker would only lead to fighting as they fought over who’s was next.
