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!
Have a good Wednesday everyone!

I love your instructional photo montage. 🙂
These colors here are so pretty! My not-so-secret dream if for you to make me breakfast one day.
Cait says
Hahaha – I love it! I’d be more than happy to 🙂
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
This looks amazing! I haven’t had a pear in a while!
Cait says
Actually I hadn’t either which is what I think inspired it! It was really good! The perfect ripeness 🙂
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
You’re watching Gilmore Girls (which is on my Netflix list) but right now, I’m still working on Saved By the Bell! 🙂
Cait says
Haha – that’s next on my list!! I just discovered it was all on Netflix so it’s sitting in my queue!!

LOVE the photo collages — what program do you use?
the waffle stack looks amazing!
Cait says
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!
emily says
That’s so funny that you said that; Gilmore Girls always made me hungry too! Are the episodes on Instant Watch?
Cait says
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 🙂
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
The waffles look delicious, I love the pear addition!
Cait says
Thanks! It actually went really well with the stack! 🙂
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
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.
Cait says
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!

Hmm, sunflower seed butter — sounds amazing. I’m going to have to research that. Gorgeous photos and collage!

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!

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I love TJs nut butters!

Sure thing! Hope you like the sunflower seed butter! 🙂

Gorgeous photos!! Loving that GREEN – it’s just starting to get green here and I’m officially in springy loving mode.
Also, I love you so much.

Cinn-full, that’s clever! Fresh fruit in waffles or pancakes are great!

I’ve been meaning to tell you this but I adore your photo collages! Which picture editing software do you use!?

Aw thank you! I use iphoto for most of the editing and Smilebox for the collages 🙂

There is no better place in the world than Stars Hollow. 🙂

maria @ mim says
LOVE Gilmore Girls. All I can think about when I watch it is, “Damn! I wish I could eat like that and stay healthy like they are…” Makes me super hungry! 🙂
Cait says
Hahahaha I know! That is EXACTLY what goes through my head!!
