I have always been a breakfast person, but I tend to go for the same things over and over: cereal, bagels or eggs. My son, on the other hand, only wants one thing in the morning: WAFFLES. There are mornings when at 3am he approaches my room whimpering “Mommy? Waffles, I need waffles…” and I need to gently guide him back to bed reminding him that it is just too early, we can only have waffles once the sun comes up.
I was short on Bisquick this past weekend and needed something to bulk up my waffle batter so it wouldn’t be too soupy for the waffles iron. Ever since moving to GA pecans seem to be very abundant, so I chopped some up, threw them into the batter with some cinnamon, and created this morning goodness that I have been eating every morning since.
