Yummy...Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles

I like food. That is just the plain and simple truth. I like to read cookbooks, try new recipes, etc. Every once-in-a-while, I crave something that I cannot find a recipe for. Such was the case the other night. One recipe that we love to make in the fall is Pumpkin Chocoloate-Chip Bread, but that just did not hit the spot. I was really wanting waffles with that same taste, though, so I decided to create some. And, I must say, that the results were scrumptious :)

See the waffle maker pictured here...it is from Williams-Sonoma and although not expensive, was definitely a step-up from the 4 $15.99 WalMart versions I had gone through over the last 10 years. It has made a huge difference in the quality of my waffles, and I would have saved money if I had just purchsed it sooner :)

My resident taste-testers loved the outcome of my experimentation:

Now, I promise that Chris loved them too. He was just slightly distracted by the newspaper and has difficutly showing enthusiasm about my food ;)!

Since he was not enthusiastic enough, I decided to take a picture of myself...super cheesy!
