I would like to conclude the Thanksgiving series by sharing one of our family Thanksgiving Favorite. A few years ago, I came up with the idea of pumpkin waffles to use up some leftover pumpkin. It was a hit and my husband insists that I fix them every year. So, I hope your family enjoy's them as much as we do.
