I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

Heartland. Homestyle. Waffles.
My first batch of pumpkin waffles was a dead loss; we forgot to grease the waffle iron. The second round was a smashing success (even though my kids refused to eat them). Sweet, dense, and hearty, the waffles make great breakfast-for-dinner fare.
The recipe in Heartland the Cookbook recommends putting Whipped Orange Butter on top. I was in a hurry and didn’t have the time to invest in “freshly grated orange zest.” So, we sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar on top & called it a day.
Tip: I actually bought sorghum syrup (produced by a family farm in Iowa) for this recipe. It looks like a cross between molasses and maple syrup & I understand that it’s heavenly on warm biscuits.
