One of the first things kids can learn to do themselves in the kitchen is to use the toaster! I remember my kids being so proud of the morning they "made" waffles, when really, they just toasted some commercial waffles! However, it's probably been at least 8 years since I purchased toaster waffles. There is no need to! Homemade toaster waffles are better than store bought because:
They are cheaper! I calculated, 0.10 per waffle, vs. 0.24 per waffle.
They have fresher and better ingredients! (see below).
They taste better!
