Nothing says “Spring is here!” like…..pumpkin!\u00c2\u00a0 Am I right?\u00c2\u00a0 I know pumpkin is traditionally a fall food, but I love pumpkin year round.\u00c2\u00a0 I know pumpkin waffles are not a new concept, but these were AMAZING!\u00c2\u00a0 This was my first time making waffles (with the waffle maker we received as a wedding gift over 7 years ago), and I honestly don’t know what took me so long!\u00c2\u00a0 There is nothing like homemade waffles!\u00c2\u00a0 I served these for dinner with eggs and bacon.<\/p>\n

These freeze wonderfully.\u00c2\u00a0 I can tell you that with confidence because I’ve already eaten all of the extras we froze.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m planning to make another batch of these soon.\u00c2\u00a0 Really soon.<\/p>\n

Isn’t breakfast the greatest meal of all?\u00c2\u00a0 I was talking about breakfast foods with my husband the other day, and I realized that breakfast food is one of my favorite things (and I love having it for lunch and dinner, too).\u00c2\u00a0 I tried to come up a breakfast food that I don’t like and came up short.\u00c2\u00a0 Oatmeal, muffins, coffee cake, doughnuts, kolaches, yogurt, granola, fruit, egg casseroles, omlettes, hash browns, bacon, quiches, breakfast sausage, grits, cereal, hot cereals, pancakes, waffles, toast….what’s not to love?\u00c2\u00a0 (Although I won’t eat eggs over easy….no runny eggs for me!)<\/p>\n

What about you?\u00c2\u00a0 Is there a breakfast food that you don’t like?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
