Eggo Homestyle Waffles

I'm currently at a high level of emotional despair, which I feel is reflected in my horrible waffle selection here. These have no flavor! Why bother!? I couldn't endure a totally plain waffle, so I added syrup and then they were good because I was eating hot syrup. But like, what are any of us doing here? I guess I don't want this to be my last tragic blog entry, so they serve a small motivational purpose. Good work, extremely boring waffles.

Kellogg's Eggo Strawberry Waffles

Dang -- the last new Eggo flavor I tried was 5 whole months ago, when I noted that something was really wrong with my brain. And I was right! Time flies. Anyway, I toasted these for two cycles and that was just perfect. They smell like homemade pancakes (very eggy/oily) but they tasted like nothing. Eggy buttermilk dough I guess. The strawberry swirl isn't very prominent; you only get a few bites of mild strawberry flavor. But I do like these as a handy hand snack, plus they make me think about how far I've come (EMOTIONALLY) since my last wafflin'. I guess with syrup these would be a lot better, but that sounds like a lot of (sticky) work. Hand waffles are the way of the future.

Eggo Cinnamon Churro Waffles

The longer it goes on, the more clear it is that something is really wrong with my brain. I'm having cognitive and also motor issues! But there's no issues with these waffles. They are fine. They aren't really exciting or novel, since they just taste mainly of "waffle", but I can eat them as hand fruits with no sauce and that's good to do at this time in life (which is a bottom tier time, one of the worst actually). The cook time is hard to get right. I think one cycle is enough but it's not quite enough. The taste is mild cinnamon and major waffle. I hope I make it to a time where I can try a superior flavor and have good brain about it.

Eggo Chocolatey Chip Banana Waffles

These are great! I didn't have any syrup but it was actually fine. These are like little banana breads shaped like waffles. Very sweet, good banana flavor, little bits of choco. I like banana flavor as it turns out. I'm not sure if these would even go with syrup as a more traditional waffle, I ate them like hand snacks, but I'll give it a try later! One toasting cycle was fine for these.

Eggo Blueberry Waffles

They're a classic for a reason! I like the little stick 'n seal strip they include - talk about innovation in waffle tech. Two toaster cycles works well for these, and they're a solid, tasty brekkie.

Eggo Grab & Go Liège-Style Waffles - Buttery Maple

Cute! It's a shame you only get 4 waffles per box, because these are pretty good. So far I've tried them both "thawed" and "toasted" and toasted is much much better. Thawed is a bit like an uncooked waffle, if you could believe it. But toasted they're a nice, warm-ish, sweet treat. I do really like the pearls of sugar on there. I don't LOVE maple flavor but it's not too overpowering on these, and the other flavor (strawberry?) might be more my speed. Good stuff though.

Annie's Organic Confetti Pancake & Waffle Mix

These are cute, I can't deny that. I've only tried 'em as pancake so far, and I never really LOVED homemade pancakes, but they're OK. It makes about 8 pancakes (even though it says 12), and they came out fine, and the little sprinkles are cute and don't change the flavor much. Goes with syrup, a little bit boring plain. Very filling - I couldn't eat all 8 in one serving, maybe 2 servings would work. Quick to make and a fun change of pace; I'm curious to try the waffle form next.

Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancake and Waffle mix

Today was a big day, so I kinda just wanted to chill with some waffles. Enter Aunt Jemima, the only waffle mix without nuts in it at my store. Not sure how I feel about the branding, but it is what it is. I mixed these up as directed, with just water and oil, and popped it in the waffle maker. Unfortunately I haven't yet mastered the art of the waffle maker, and they came out pretty limp and wet. I don't THINK this is the fault of the mix, but I can't be sure. Assuming it isn't, the taste was fine, just like any other AJ product, frozen or not. Not hotel quality (woe) but fine, especially with syrup.
