Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze pumpkin waffles?
Waffles freeze great! Place them in plastic freezer bags, remove as much air as possible. You can keep them in the freezer for 2-3 months. Reheat in the toaster.
Can I make pumpkin pancakes instead of waffles with this batter?
Sure! Just pour the batter onto a hot griddle or frying pan.
I also have a pumpkin pancake recipe you can find here.
Now serve and enjoy. I like to add some whipped cream and pecans on top of my syrup for a little extra fall flavor.

We have been enjoying Lark Rise here at our home. In fact we missed watching The Amazing Race so we could finish watching episodes of Season 3 on YouTube. Hope you continue enjoying Lark Rise!

Thanks for letting us know about Lark Rise to Candleford. It is a great series. I am half way through the first season and really enjoying it. Now, I am off to make your sour cream apple bars for the kid’s after school treat.
Melinda says
We’ve been going through apple and pumpkin recipes, too. The aroma is so wonderful! I just put Candleford in our Queue! It sounds delightful! Thanks for mentioning it!

“Lark Rise to Candleford” looks so good! I love historical shows, and this one looks so full of drama. Your recipes, as usual, sound amazing and cozy. But really, I am so inspired by your close relationship with your teenage daughter. I love love love that you’ve found something the two of you can bond and connect over. It gives me an idea of what I can look forward to with my daughter someday!

Your Fall recipes all sound so good and comforting. You mentioned the series your watching. I am surprised that I haven’t even heard of this one. I’ve watched (own) Jane Austin movies and Cranford, among others but “Lark Rise to Candleford” is now on my “must watch soon” list. Thanks for mentioning it. I love 1800’s era movies. Hope you’re week is going great so far.
