My name is Leslie and I am a waffle lover. I love waffles so much I wrote a cookbook about them titled the “Waffle Cookbook.”

I am a mother of three great kids, including twin teenagers.

I like millennials. I actually have one.

Our family lost everything material in the crash of 2007, mostly thanks to Bernie Madoff.

After that we all moved into my childhood home with my mother coping with Alzheimer’s and her sweet, but common-sense deprived caregiver. Making us a family of seven. Making me part of the “Sandwich Generation.”

I have a gaggle of girlfriends whose strong, unqualified opinions and advice I rely upon daily.

A lot has changed since 2007. My mother has passed. I lost my husband to cancer. My family has survived, and we are the stronger for it.

I live with #waffletude!
