Waffle House

Sundays are big breakfast days in our home. Pancakes, waffles, french toast, and even the occasional omelet. Those delicious morning starches are wonderful in the summer with fresh fruit. But as the season changes and the farmers market closes, blueberries, strawberries, and peaches are no longer easily available. (And when they are, they are expensive and don't taste as good.)

So how do you put a new twist on Sunday morning favorites, then?

Pumpkin!

So far I've made pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin fresh toast. And now the circle is complete with pumpkin waffles.

So raise a mug and enjoy!
