Waffles and a winner

I've told you before I'm a breakfast for dinner kinda girl, but this past Sunday I felt the need to make waffles in the morning! I know I'm just so freakin exciting you don't know what to do with yourself. Ironically when I was a kid it was the opposite, I lived for the weekends because that meant if I let my dad sleep past the crack of dawn he'd make me whatever I wanted (if I woke him up before dawn I only got cereal... smart parental planning)! Crepes, waffles, pancakes, french toast, he was like a short order cook whipping up things for me, my mom, sister, and nana. Even though I'm a cereal in the morning kinda girl now I still look forward to waking up to my dad cooking breakfast when we go to visit them :) SIDE NOTE: this makes it sound like my mom never cooked, not at all the case, so no commenting in defense mom ;) love both of your cooking! :)

As for the Lipton giveaway the winner is.... Sarah B who likes her tea: "I'm a big fan of Chai tea. But right now I'm sipping on a peppermint tea with one sugar!" I'll send you an email in a bit to get your address! Thanks everyone for commenting!

What's your favorite breakfast treat?? What's your favorite if you're not the one cooking? Were you lucky enough to have great cooks for parents?

I love turkey sausage and pumpkin pancakes...and I make way better breakfasts than my hubby, so it doesn't change if I'm not the one in the kitchen.  But, usually it's just cereal for me.

Those look fantastic!  I could really get behind feeding these to my family!

Sounds like the husband needs to take some breakfast cooking classes ;) hehe. MMM I LOVE pumpkin pancakes!!

They were super easy to make! I bet they would love them!

What perfect looking waffles! Mine are always so messy... And that waffle pattern is really unique- I've never seen an iron that makes impressions quite like that.

My fav is sourdough waffles with the goopy starter stuff. Best waffles I've ever had.

It's funny I never thought twice about it, but now that you mention it... it's not the normal pattern is it! HA!

Seriously?? YUM!!!! Recipe?? :)
