A Cinn-Ful Stack

0 · Apr 25, 2012 · 36 Comments

Morning!

It’s a wet one out there 

Which meant a warm, comforting breakfast was calling my name!

Chad and I decided last night that waffles would be for breakfast today.  Not an uncommon practice in my life.  I usually know what I’m going to have for the next day’s breakfast about 30 seconds following my finishing the present day’s breakfast.

I kinda like food.

I’ve been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls lately and all that show does is inspire me to drink coffee and eat!  Yesterday they were making some toaster waffles and I knew immediately that it would be what I would have for breakfast today!

If only I could’ve gotten them at Luke’s…

Maybe someday…

Anyway, while Chad was happy to eat his waffles with a little butter and syrup, I think you all know me well enough by now to know that I needed to make mine a little more snazzy

The idea for the pears came to me while laying in bed this morning and when the idea hit me, it was all the motivation I needed to get up!

I popped two Maple Cinn waffles in the toaster and while they toasted I diced up a fresh (perfectly ripe!) bartlett pear.

Delicious.

Coffee + soymilk to wash it all down:

And Gilmore on the TV while I eat!

    These colors here are so pretty! My not-so-secret dream if for you to make me breakfast one day.

      Thank you! I use Smilebox (I have a mac) – I was so sad when Picnik closed that I just had to find an alternative 🙂 I like it a lot so far!

      Haha I’m so glad I’m not alone! Every time I watch it I come off an episode wanting tons of junk food and tons of coffee and really good breakfast foods! oh and burgers and fries! haha. I own the whole series on DVD so that’s how I watch it 🙂

    Your breakfast and mug are color coordinated! I love it. 🙂 Pears are my favorite and so are waffles. Definitely going to have to try one of your waffle stacks these days. They always look so good.

      Haha yeah! I love that you noticed that because it actually was a thought when I was choosing my mug 🙂 Definitely give this pear/waffle combo a try, it was a great flavor mix!

      It’s one of my FAVORITE nut butters. I can’t live without it now 🙂 I’d recommend MaraNatha, Sunbutter brand or Trader Joe’s versions 🙂

      And thank you!
