Maple Pumpkin Waffles

I don’t know about you, but I’m happy it’s Thursday. This week has been crazy busy in the pharmacy and I’ve worked some long hours here and there. I’m going to need a vacation real soon if this keeps up! Thankfully the weekend is almost here and we’ve got some fun family time planned with friends. To finish off my breakfast fare I wanted to share, here’s the last recipe for Maple Pumpkin Waffles. I made these as a food swap item for an event I hosted and attended last month. These waffles are full of pumpkin flavor with a hint of maple syrup cooked right in…

I finally found a solid waffle maker from the 1980’s. I find that some appliances seems to have been built better years ago compared to their current, modern counterparts. The name of the waffle maker escapes me, but its all stainless steel, chrome and does an excellent job with waffles. The best thing? The waffle maker was a find at a local thrift store, where I only paid $2.99 for it. Score!!

These waffles are great for freezing and then toasting the morning you want to enjoy them. I plan on making quite a few waffles for my freezer to make breakfasts during the work week easier and faster!
