Make Pumpkin Waffles for a Fall Breakfast

Last weekend was a weekend thatll go down in history as one of my most relaxing, ever! There were flannel pajamas, no alarm set and when I woke up, I had everything in my kitchen so I could throw together these waffles. As I sat in bed and ate them (yes, breakfast in bed!), I watched the documentary, Soul of a Banquet. Have you seen it? Its all about Cecilia Chiangs life and work with her very famous (but now closed) restaurant in San Francisco, Mandarin.

Shes lived a very fascinating life. Her history with food and her relationship with food is all very rich, beautiful and interesting. Oh and the food! The food in the film looked so gorgeous and delicious. I was thankful for these pumpkin waffles or else I wouldve immediately gotten dressed and went out for dumplings; of course, it wouldnt have compared to the food in the film. Its one of those films that stays with you; Ive been thinking about it ever since.

These waffles are perfect for that very moment: for rest and relaxation and lounging. Theyre the ideal weekend breakfast. I usually halve this recipe and it ends up being two waffles for my boyfriend and me, so feel free to do the same if four waffles is too much.
