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.

Thanks for the Provo restaurant/dessert list! By the way, The Chocolate has a website now, and a blog. I noticed on their blog, they give a shout-out to a new restaurant, Cafe Paesan, from founders of Cafe Rio, which serves fresh made Italian food. That’s going to be a stop on my trip! Thanks for the helpful Provo tips.

So… I’m not the ONLY person who loves that series?! I have to go on a blog-strike occasionally to prove what’s really important in my life – so good for YOU that you can share some time with your daughter while she is still with you this year. I lose my last son in three weeks to the mission field, and I’m trying to be positive. Great post!
