Red Velvet Waffles with Cream Cheese Icing Drizzle

Giving credit where credit is due, this recipe is courtesy of the great Rachael Ray. I'm a sucker for red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. I'm a sucker for anything made with strawberries. I'm a sucker for waffles. This dessert is a trifecta as far as I'm concerned! Marry those three delicious components and what more could a girl ask for?!
