A perfect new years day

New Years eve I woke up in a baking mood, so I made breakfast for the family! We had pumpkin waffles! Super easy, super fast and super yummy! Here is the recipe:

Pumpkin waffles:

1 c. all purpose flour

1 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 c. milk

1 large egg

1 tsp cinnamon

1 1/2 tbsp melted butter

1 can pumpkin puree

Mix all the dry ingredients together. Mix the wet ingredients together. Combine with the dry ingredients and then stir in pumpkin. Top with whip cream and/ or syrup! 

This is a great way to get your kids to eat something good for them without them even knowing it.

Having something this delicious sure was a great start to a great day. My husband and I are fortunate enough to have his parents live close, so they were able to watch our kids while we went off and had a dinner just the two of us!! Then we went and got our kids and went to a kid friendly party in our neighborhood!! Our almost 2 year old made it to 10 pm! Whoo! We stayed out later than we thought. LOL! its funny how much things change when you have kids. We never would have thought that we would say we stayed out late at 10pm. 

But we rung in the new year with two kids in bed and asleep by 10:30. A perfect day. 

This was taken on our way to dinner!

Enjoy the recipe everyone. More to come...
