I love having a nice breakfast on the weekend. I usually get up before everyone, get it all prepared and have everything ready when the family wakes up. My family loves waffles so when I saw this recipe using ricotta, I couldn’t wait to make it for them. They turned out beautiful and tasted delicious as well. I’m excited to have a new waffle recipe to include in my rotation. It’s the perfect treat not only for the weekend, but any time!
