Put down the acai bowl. It's time to savour the most important meal of the day and I have just the recipe to help you do so.

While I'm all for a quick and easy breakfast during the week, I think that come the weekend we should all be enjoying a more leisurely breakfast. It's not just about the food, it's about taking an hour or so out of your busy schedule to share a delicious meal with family and friends, or enjoy a lazy morning on your own with a coffee and a plate of Nutella Waffles.

This is a delicious twist on the breakfast favorite and it is oh-so-simple to make. Take some time for yourself this weekend and enjoy a plate of Nutella Waffles.
