I love these few weeks between Halloween and Thanksgiving. It’s a time to truly enjoy fall activities when the weather is cooler, but still nice enough to take walks and enjoy the pretty fall trees. I love the planning I get to do for the upcoming food-focused holiday. I love drinking all the pumpkin spice whatevers. I love the early Christmas shopping. AND, even though I refuse to put up Christmas decorations until the day AFTER Thanksgiving, I do occasionally enjoy a good Hallmark movie and turning on my Christmas playlist. Fall is also the perfect time to get together with your favorite people and brunch it out. Brunch is possible my favorite meal time. I love ALL the foods, especially WAFFLES. Who doesn’t love them??! As the late comedian, Mitch Hedberg once said, “A waffle is a pancake with syrup traps”. I mean, what is NOT good about that!

Since it’s a fall brunch we will be having over the next several weeks, naturally adding pumpkin to them is a given. BUT, I am throwing a little something else in there that may sound surprising, but is freakin’ delicious. Several years ago, the husband and I were in Atlanta for a work trip and had breakfast at Little Tart Bakeshop (which I highly recommend) and ordered the cheddar waffles. The combination of the salty cheese and maple syrup was surprisingly amazing. I never stopped thinking about those waffles, so I am incorporating them into my fall obsession and bring you this tasty waffle that is perfect for a fall brunch this year. Add these Sugared Pecans and maple syrup for the most perfect fall brunch recipe.
