I am so excited that it has finally cooled off enough in LA to get all fall inspired with recipes. While it’s not quite scarf and boots weather here yet, I know we have all embraced the slightly cooler weather and have been busy in the kitchen baking. One of the things I love about fall in all the pumpkin recipes. When I was growing up during fall we always had pumpkin bread around. A loaf would easily get devoured in a day around the house. The smell of pumpkin anything baking is just such a great smell and really rings fall for me. So today we have another way for you to utilize one of falls most favorite ingredients: Pumpkin Spiced Waffles. I really love waffles and realized that I don’t really make waffles that much, but this recipe will be sure to change that. This really is such a perfect fall breakfast recipe. You can also check out McCormick.com for more fall inspired recipes that are just as good! Enjoy and stay warm!-Teri

PINGBACK: 10 Recipes to Try This Fall - Dietitian Debbie Dishes
This recipe looks amazing! I had a waffle maker years ago and it was just disastrous. I’ve been meaning to get a new one and try making waffles again. Do you have any suggestions for waffle makers? Or even what to look for when searching for one?
Cuisinart makes a great one…and it’s affordable! Also don’t forget not overfill the waffle well…bc I did that for the longest time and always ended up with the biggest mess. :)
Thank you, Jenny! I’ll look for that Cuisinart waffle maker and remember your advice when I try making these waffles. :0)
