1. Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches

Since these are made with waffles, I can totally eat them for breakfast, right? And since they are a type of sandwich, I can also get away with eating them for lunch, yes? These are so simple to make. You just scoop ice cream in between the waffles, freeze, and dip in your favorite toppings. Heck, this is also dessert! If “ice cream sandwich” was a food group, I’d definitely get my daily servings!

Key lime is a flavor that’s been growing on me lately. And if you like a little tang in your ice cream, these are going to be your new favorite treat!

Or all of them.

I'm a wife, mother and everything else associated with domestic life. I can often be found hiding from my kids to sneak treats (especially ice cream). I love rainbows and naps, and I find any excuse to go to Target. When I actually make it out of the house in real clothes, I document my outfits on my fashion blog, Leather & Lip Gloss. My love for fashion also inspired me to start my own comprehensive style website, The Style Spectrum.
