Almond Cardamom Waffles

Still in pursuit of delicious and different breakfast options, I was toying with a few different breakfast ideas when I came across a recipe for Perfect Vanilla Waffles. Although they looked delicious, I didn't have a few of the ingredients on hand...so....I improvised. I also felt that I had been overloaded by cinnamon, being October and all, so I picked another route to follow and combined almond and cardamom. Yum!
