Spiced Waffles

Image from the Internet


It's October and, until now, there's not been even a hint that it's Fall.

But my mind tells me that it's Fall . . .because it's October.

October = Fall.

October + Pumpkins = Fall.

October + Candy Corn + Peanuts = Fall.

In 27 short days, my cherubs will want to wear some costume and go door to door trick-or-treating.

Therefore, I must pretend it's Fall!

We decided we'd have breakfast for dinner the other night.

I had spent the day subbing at school and wanted to make pumpkin waffles for my boy cherub.

But I didn't really have the time.

So, I made this up as I went along.

We all decided the waffles tasted kind of gingerbread-y.

Which we liked.

I made extra and stuck them in the freezer for a fast Fall breakfast!

Whether Fall ever gets here or not!

Fall Spiced Waffles

Your favorite pancake/waffle mix
AND the ingredients it calls for (usually milk, egg, and oil)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ginger
1/8 tsp. pumpkin flavoring (King Arthur brand) OR 1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat waffle iron.

Add the dry pancake/waffle mix to a bowl.  Add the cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.  Add the egg/s, oil, optional flavoring, and milk.  However, I reduced the amount of milk by about 1/4 cup or smidge more.  I wanted a thicker waffle batter.

Ladle the batter into the heated waffle iron and cook until desired doneness.

You can keep waffles warm in a 170 degree oven until ready to serve or cool completely and freeze and reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.

Enjoy with butter and maple syrup, or our favorite, apple butter.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
