For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Spiced Pumpkin Waffles

Spiced Pumpkin Waffles

When I first made these a couple of weeks ago I was worried my family wouldn't like them. My fears were set to rest however when Special Dark (the pickiest of the bunch) came and started licking the batter from his fingers, over and over again! These are not too pumpkin-y. In fact I heard complaints that the waffles didn't have enough pumpkin in them!

Spiced Pumpkin Waffles

* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 3 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1 pinch salt
* 2 eggs
* 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
* 1 2/3 cups milk
* 4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

Directions

1.Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in large bowl.
2.In a second bowl, add eggs, sugar, pumpkin, milk, and butter; beat well.
3.Gently fold in the flour mixture.
4.Cook according to your waffle iron directions. These come out a nice golden brown.
5. Serve with maple syrup or honey butter.

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
